  1. 🇵🇸 @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.

    Then again.
    I could not have made up my mind eitherhow...

    (I think I don't want to be 800
    If I had to adapt all my program code so often I'd die.
    Deathcause: #Adaption by #code #deprecation
    #PHP #JS and #Python buried also )
  3. Uh, I'm quite disappointed about this future #Python deprecation: blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/i

    It will break some stuff in a few years when it becomes effective.
