🥳 New Kitten Release!
🚨 Breaking change: You can now add arbitrary JavaScript in script blocks in Kitten Markdown Pages front-matter (and the imports property is gone).

Folks creating free and open software for the common good: here’s a checklist of everything else you should be doing so corporations can make the best use of your free labour.
I mean, sure, some good security tips here and worth reading anyway but do fuck off with holding free software developers to account for supply chain attacks. It’s your fucking supply chain, not ours, you fucking corporation.

Look at all these cool Muni routes that were eliminated in 2009 budget cuts and didn't come back 😭 Potrero Hill used to have *three* north-south bus routes where now it has one. The 53 Southern Heights was lost in 2009, the 10 Townsend in 2020, and only the 19 Polk is left.

Somewhere between my original vision for web 1.0 and the rise of social media as part of web 2.0,
we took the wrong path.
We’re now at a new crossroads,
one where we must decide if AI will be used for the betterment or to the detriment of society.
