Monday, July 21, 2025 Change notes for WordLand v0.5.22. # Short video demo of Markdown mode in WordLand. # The Great on Hulu gives an idea of what a king or queen would be like. The difference is the actors playing the monarchs are pretty lovable and not stupid, and somewhat self-aware (not their strong suit). # Linkblog items for the day ICE will 'flood the zone' in NYC. politico.com Introducing XMLUI. blog.jonudell.net This $11,000 Chinese EV with solid state batteries is coming soon.

Weekly Vue News #207 Weekly Vue News #207 - Nuxt 4.0 is out View online Hi 👋 Finally, Nuxt 4 is out, mainly improving developer experience, and it should be a very smooth upgrade — nothing like the big changes required from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3. Besides that, I'm considering integrating Better Auth in my starter kit instead of Nuxt Auth Utils. Enjoy this issue and have a lovely week ☀️ Vue ...

Sunday, July 20, 2025 Today's song: When You Awake . You will remember everything. # Just listened to an episode of the New Yorker Radio Hour podcast with Michael Wolff , about the material he has on Jeffrey Epstein that he can't get anyone to publish, but maybe that'll change. In the interview it was remarkable how the reporter wanted to know just how bad Donald Trump is. That is no longer an interesting question. Didn't you see what happened on January 6 ? And have you seen the armed, masked , badgeless military in American streets, disappearing people. And the $80 billion they just took from the US Treasury to build a network of concentration camps and who knows what else. You can't get more bad than that. It's too late to still be talking about this bullshit. # I keep saying this to my chatbots and you should too. "You are not human, I don't want you to pretend you are. Act like a computer." # L...

Scripting News: Saturday, July 19, 2025

Saturday, July 19, 2025 The nice thing about a blogroll is that it can become a feed reader, in a very small space. It's been on my blog home page for over a year, and I use it a lot, largely because I have to go to that page a lot to see how something I've written looks. Then I see that one of my favorite sites has updated, and I take a quick look to see what's new. The way it works, from a technical standpoint, is that it's hooked into a FeedLand instance where I have created a category called blogroll, and put all the feeds I want in my blogroll in that category. All I have to do to add a new one is subscribe to it in FeedLand , and click the blogroll checkbox . Another developer wrote a post about using their blogroll as a feed reader, and I wanted to put my hand up and say yes -- this is a good idea. People should do this. I like it because it's real innovation in feed reading, something that imho has been lacking in the feed world. Lots...

Friday, July 18, 2025 I want ChatGPT to behave like a computer. I've said as much to it. It resists. # If you're an ambitious developer, esp in 2025, if you want to win, you have to do some leading. That means doing things that help your competitors. When everyone looks to the same big platform vendor to work with, no one wins except the platform vendor. # It doesn't matter if the MAGA movement dissolves. The country is only being partially run by Trump, there's a new deep state we don't know much about. They did excellent planning, so they could move quickly to disassemble the government and get a good start on the national police force. It can just as easily put a stop to demonstrations in red states as blue states. The MAGAs will be in the same place the rest of us are, mostly powerless unless they/we organize. The NDS has good lawyers cracking down on the big media companies. They know Trump is old and frail, and when the time comes they ...
