Sunday, February 2, 2025 Tea Party 2025 , a modest manifesto. # A bit of advice for Dems in Congress. Go home and have town halls, and listen. And stop listening to the consultants and each other. Find out what the people want, and bring that back to DC. And let the press attend the town halls so they can report. Make our own Tea Party . # Thanks to Heather Cox Richardson , Timothy Snyder , David Frum for fantastic pieces posted in the middle of last night. We are having a fresh awakening in this country and in the end we may come to thank Musk and Trump for facilitating this. And I'm so glad that online media is making this possible too, in addition to all the nasty shit we're also responsible for. :-) # I'm 99.9% sure, as crazy as it sounds, when Musk is finished with his software project, you will have to use X for everything related to the government. To pay taxes, to receive health care, to renew your passport. And if you try to arrest him, he...

Saturday, February 1, 2025 Saw a commercial on CNN this evening from Ontario in response to the tariffs, respectful, talking direct to Americans about the bonds with the people of Canada. Why can't the Dems do this, say how important the independence of the FBI is, to start. We'd love to pay for that. Get in the game Dems. # Even if Congress doesn't do anything to rein in Musk and Trump, the stock market will have something to say on Monday, one assumes. And this might be one time to hope for a market crash. # I rewrote the oursocialweb.org home page. It needed to focus on linking. The term web is being thrown around too casually, without regard to what the web is, the same kind of dilution that's happening with podcasting. But the social web idea is fairly new, and it's really important that we get this right. # I'm working on a new version of my thread-writer for Bluesky. # Given what Musk is doing now, do you think the internet will...

Friday, January 31, 2025 I've been using claude.ai for programming work lately, and it does one thing better than ChatGPT. It reads your code and tries to mimic your coding style. ChatGPT won't do that. It's really frustrating to have to edit their code before I can even try it out. I like it and am paying the $20 per month in addition to the money I'm paying ChatGPT. # I've decided that trading in my Model Y for another EV is an acceptable solution. Let someone else ride around in this car that I love, but hate because it is a symbol of American terrorism and apartheid. This is compatible with my understanding that hate is love that was betrayed. I'm sure I won't love its replacement as much as I loved the Model Y, but I will feel better about driving it. And Tesla shareholders will, I hope, learn the lesson that products must be politically agnostic in order to work commercially. Or if you must take a stand, make it against fascism. S...

Thursday, January 30, 2025 Good oligarchs and bad oligarchs. We need to help the good ones have the guts to get on the air, with really good creative advertising, telling the people exactly what's being done to them now, without pulling any punches. They have to be warned and they aren't. You have to be paying a lot of attention to understand. And it's hard to know what to believe. We have to have a voice in this, now. # I bet on myself at 22 # Andrew Hickey wrote something I wholeheartedly agree with. "If you think the day job might literally kill you, and you have no kids, quit and try that mad idea. That might also kill you, but better to die trying something wonderful than be killed by a crappy job." # My response : "My life story since I was 22, and I'm 69 now. It's worked out okay, not perfect, I have regrets, but I would have far more if I hadn't bet on myself. My 22-year-old self was very right about a lot...

Wednesday, January 29, 2025 There should be ads on tv tonight saying they're coming for the abortion pill. Spell it out clearly so the voters can hear it as it happened. Otherwise they will rightly blame the Dems for not telling them what was going on. It's not too late Dems. # Molly White has an excellent OPML subscription list . I want to make something with this, maybe a Bluesky feed reader ? I want to show people they can combine skills to make new media. We don't have to wait for big companies to do it for us. We can work together. That's how we rise to the challenges we share. We can flip this bad situation around, turning problems into opportunity. Big changes happen now. We can steer in the direction we want to go. # We're programmed to believe big companies make things the right way and individual people can't be trusted. We're going to have to break out of that rut, to stop trusting them so much. It's like the 2008 banking ...

Read this on my blog In only a few hours I'll be giving a talk on composable design patterns at Vue.js Nation! Go get your free ticket here . Tomorrow, Alex Lichter and I will be hosting a panel on AI and Vue development as well — you won't want to miss that one (you'll be able to ask questions live). I also recorded a video on how I use AI to quickly learn new libraries . And I'm steadily working on updating Mastering Nuxt 3 — this will be a free update to everyone who already bought it (and there's currently a 30% off sale going on ). This is some of what I've done so far: Upgraded everything to Nuxt 4 (super easy, thanks to the Nuxt team) Refactored to use layers Using NuxtImg for images (it was in beta when MN3 was published) Simplifying (and improving) Supabase auth usage with some new features Simplified Prisma types with the GetPayload utility type What kinds of things would you like to see in the updated...
