All those features might be good in some contexts, but they're also literally the reason the author's blog couldn't get 100s on Lighthouse.

"DHH's politics" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. He has most recently called for citizens of western countries to be expelled on the basis of race. So while it's not exactly symmetrical, the people objecting to companies funding his project are not the only ones using their speech to put pressure on others.

Consider taking your own advice here? Free speech means people are also free to object when other people with whom they disagree politically receive corporate funding. And likewise, you not agreeing with them is only interesting to you.

Notice that in the task list example, if you leave some text in the input and check off a task, your text will be erased.
If we could truly treat the DOM as an immediate-mode UI, there would be no need for React/Preact/ Svelte/Solid/etc. But it turns out there are a fair number of quirks like this that preclude such simple replacements from working correctly.
(That said: I am all for experiments like this for learning, or for fun, or to try out unexplored framework design space!)

atproto permissioned data [1] will solve the dilemma you're describing. Ultimately all the data is in the same place (your PDS) and you can always read and write any data there. If startup A goes away, startup B can read that old data and do something useful with it.

But it sounds like we're on the same page that they did change the world in part through politics?

While working on a small atproto OAuth client I discovered a neat service worker pattern that I don't think I've ever seen someone write about. The page makes normal fetch requests, and the service worker adds the authorization header and handles token refreshes/dpop retries/etc under the hood. https://tangled.org/jakelazaroff.com/atsw

You're putting words in my mouth. "Public health" deals with social problems regarding health, but it's a subset of "health" which also includes problems that are not social in nature.
There are absolutely social issues around vaccines — how do we fund their development? how do we distribute them? how do we convince people to use them? — but as a technology I would say they solve a problem that is mostly independent of human relationships.*
* Obviously, you could say that vaccines actually do solve a social problem because pathogens are often passed between humans, but I think then the definition of "social problems" becomes so broad as to be meaningless.
Re:Crypto in 2026: Oh, This Is the Bad Place

Re:Crypto in 2026: Oh, This Is the Bad Place
on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @08:41AM (#48644067)
"How do we remove feces from our living spaces" and "how do we stop dying from pathogens" are not social problems.

> On Mac, I use Firefox and Chrome.
Sure, but many people use Safari, which runs that exact same WebKit engine under the hood. So if your app is available in the browser in addition to Tauri, you have to support it anyway. And at the very least, you as a web developer should be used to supporting it.
Re:Deno Desktop
on Monday June 22, 2026 @02:36PM (#48634130)
This point of view always confuses me, because web developers already need to deal with platform differences. Especially if your app app also runs in a browser, like Slack and Discord — at that point, what issues do the differing system webviews cause that you don't need to deal with anyway just targeting browsers?
It's also funny to me as someone who's been building websites for 20+ years at this point, because the platform differences used to be much, much worse. Coincidentally, I just saw this article, which makes the case nicely: https://www.bram.us/2026/06/21/do-websites-need-to-function-...
