For the first time in years, there is a new leader in Czech parliamentary elections polls! The coalition of Piráti (Greens/EFA) and STAN (EPP) takes the lead with 29.5%. We are really grateful for the support and we continue to work hard for the citizens!

Looking into jspm and, like Skypack, I can‘t find anything on subresource integrity support. Unless I’m missing something, these new crop of ESM-based CDNs – while they sound great otherwise – are basically backdoors waiting to happen.

Thoughts?

Node.js CommonJS → ESM refactoring cheat sheet.

Update requires to imports:

Find: const (.*?)\s*?=\s*?require\(('.*?')\)

Replace: import $1 from $2

(If you don’t use consts, update search expression to use var, etc.)

Update default exports:

Find: module.exports =
Replace: export default

PS. If you use dynamic requires, remember that dynamic imports return promises / are asynchronous.

Version 4.0 is live on https://cryptpad.fr !

The release notes will be available on GitHub shortly.

„Fakt, že šéf firmy může bez jakékoli kontroly či vyváženosti vypnout prezidentovi USA mikrofon, budí velké rozpaky. Není to jen potvrzením moci těchto platforem, ale také ukazuje velké slabiny způsobu, jímž je naše společnost organizována v digitálním prostoru,“ uvedl v pondělí eurokomisař pro vnitřní trh Thierry Breton.

Ongoing discussions regarding Digital Services Act cannot accept thinking out-of-box. Our whole society is trapped in discussions about how to regulate the big, centralized platforms, rather than give the opportunity to expand for decentralized platforms like Mastodon.
