  2. Every time I see someone saying “Oh no, I missed the CFP deadline”, I can’t help thinking about all those features in Python or Django that were deprecated for years… and then someone is shocked when they finally get removed. 🫠

    Weeks of announcements. Years of warnings. Deprecation messages in the logs. And still: surprise. 😅

    Maybe warnings and deadlines only become real the day after they expire. 🪄

  4. RANT:

    Why do people insist on breaking backward compatability by removing 'deprecated' features that there is no valid reason to remove - i.e no safety issues, no clash with the thing superseding them etc.

    In the worst cases it can force rewrites of large sections of code to accomodate a different methodology and even introduce problems if the developer overlooks something like a different unit scale.

    Removing widely used things in favour of different things when they can co-exist is a shitty practice - unless in extreme cases where there is a real security risk.

    Deprecate this 🖕

  6. 🇵🇸 @small-tech/cross-platform-hostname module deprecated

    npmjs.com/package/@small-tech/

    The release of version 1.1.0 deprecates and removes support for this small module that normalised hostname reporting between Linux/macOS and Windows.

    We no longer support Windows as Microsoft is complicit in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people¹ and Small Technology Foundation² stands in solidarity with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement³.

    Windows is an ad-infested and surveillance-ridden dumpster fire of an operating system and, alongside supporting genocide, you are putting both yourself and others at risk by using it.

    When supporting Linux/macOS, just use the built-in os.hostname() method which works the same way on both platforms.
