Rather than allow other browser engines to install-to-homescreen on iOS, Apple is removing the feature entirely in the EU. Some features are tied to install-to-homescreen, such as push messages. Apple is unshipping those for EU users. We need to act now: open-web-advocacy.org/apple-…

Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model? 1/ signal.org/blog/signal-is-ex…

.npmrc 'resolution-mode' = 'highest' pnpm.io/7.x/npmrc#resolution… vs. pnpm.io/8.x/npmrc#resolution… I missed this breaking change😬😀 github.com/pnpm/pnpm/release… I never noticed because I check/update my workspace package.json + lockfile versions regularly using NCU: npmjs.com/package/npm-check-…
pnpm v8 is installing the lowest versions for direct dependencies. So ^1.0.0 resolves to 1.0.0 even if 1.1.0 is present in the registry. This resolution strategy is applied only for direct dependencies. Should this be reverted to the way it worked in v7?
