EU has taken careful aim at its feet.

Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) as currently drafted means we will likely see "not for use in the EU" notices on open source code.

Apropos of nothing, how to wash greens before eating:

Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water before and after preparing leafy greens.
Get rid of any torn or bruised leaves. Also, get rid of the outer leaves of cabbages and lettuce heads.
Rinse the remaining leaves under running water. Use your hands to gently rub them to help get rid of germs and dirt.
Dry leafy greens with a clean cloth or paper towel.

The tweet had received more than 11,000 likes and more than 5,700 shares as of Friday. A similar post on Instagram had received more than 6,000 likes.

The Great Gaslighting of the JavaScript Era

The age of frontend JavaScript frameworks eating the web world didn’t happen simply because some well-meaning developers found great DX. It happened because we were fed a line.
