The astro-d2 integration, transforming D2 in Markdown into diagrams, now experimentally support using D2.js, a JS wrapper around D2 to run it through WebAssembly.
No local D2 installation, easier deployments, and the long term plan is to make it the default behavior.

🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We just agreed to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma-separated!
But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in?
What feels more natural to you, A or B?
(it needs to be the same across borders and outlines or different box-sizing values)
<meta name="text-scale" content="scale" />
So there's a new meta element arriving in town (Chrome Canary first)? 👏

The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.
The gap between dev and prod has never been smaller 🔬

Today the Temporal proposal has entered the stable stream shipping Chrome 144. This opens the gates for attaining Stage 4 at TC39.
That means tonight I will be purchasing a supply of champagne in preparation.
It’s been a long journey and so very worthwhile!
What a year it has been! Such a great review 🥳
📜 The Starlight Changelogs plugin now supports changelog files using the Keep a Changelog format.

Amazing, really glad to hear that 🙌
GitHub comment saying: Great point about caching being independent of the request method. Having clear, reliable behavior makes systems easier to trust just like in real-life situations where people rely on dependable services, such as bail bonds Tampa, to guide them quickly and clearly through a stressful process. Straightforward solutions always matter.
🤯 What did I just read? Is that an ad disguised as a GitHub comment on a discussion, generated by AI? This gotta be a new low point ...
This video is such a monumental step backwards. 😅
Safari 26.2 (a selection):

I feel the dilemma is, that I feel responsible for being friendly and welcoming to make the experience nicer for newcomers to OSS, who may not yet know the manner well.
But with AI messing this up, it's really hard to tell if it's a human behind I should take care or just AI doing terrible work.
A partial screenshot of a GitHub PR that has been merged. The PR title is "Environment API". The next alpha/beta of Astro v6 will support Vite Environment APIs.
It's merged! The next alpha/beta release @astro.build will support @vite.dev Environment APIs!
It took a long time because we had to re-architect the whole rendering pipeline. With this, even the @cloudflare.social Vite Plugin will work out of the box!
