You did it! 🥳

European Parliament just decided that Chat Control 1.0 must stop.

This means on April 6, 2026, Gmail, LinkedIn, Microsoft and other Big Techs must stop scanning your private messages in the EU. #PrivacyWins 💪

Highlights from last week:

- Enable `jump-start`, `jump-both`, `jump-end`, `jump-none` step-position
- Implement node.moveBefore()
- Add support for a blinking text caret
- Initial support for ::first-letter

The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.

Some politicians have already stated this plainly.

This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.

This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.

This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.

This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.

This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.

Do not let them do this to us.

Y’all need to hang out with normal people. Wtf.

Just this week: co-built an app for my friends in retail to help fill out missing inventory attributes. Not tech, not male. Co-built an appointment booking app for my gf. Not tech, not male. Co-built a scraper for landlord data in our state for activism. Not tech, not male. Met two young people building diverse software for their businesses (CNC manual research, inventory management). Not white, not tech.

My input is minimal.
