If you use https://github.com/mdogan/homebrew-zulu then a `brew update` and `brew install zulu-jdk20` will get you an automatically-updating JDK 20 living alongside all your others.
heyooooooo new article: "A world to win: WebAssembly for the rest of us" https://wingolog.org/archives/2023/03/20/a-world-to-win-webassembly-for-the-rest-of-us
Of interest if you wonder: why does it seem like only rust and C are winning with WebAssembly? what is the deal with garbage collection? how would you compile scheme to wasm? how can I win with my weirdo altlang? also, is WebAssembly haunted? guaranteed success or your money back!

The ongoing Docker drama left me wanting to control my Docker image hosting, so I went digging into the API traffic of 'docker pull'.
Turns out it's easy to use your own domain as the hostname for Docker images, all without having to self-host your own full registry: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/docker-image-registry-facade/

I argue we (#curl) should NOT pay docker. Not give in to extortion. This might mean that someone else soon suddenly will register our name and can serve whatever image they want there. 5 *billion* pulls indicate there's a user or two that might fall victim for this.
That's on docker, not us.
All these years later, I just can’t get comfortable with a computer platform where you can write code for it, but the vendor gets to say whether or not people can run your code.
I thought that was wrong the day it was announced and still do.
The money says I’m in a minority. I’m comfortable with that.
The Web remains the only platform without a proprietor. Treasure it.
Wow, look at that, a JEP draft to finalize virtual threads for JDK21

JetBrains Compose 1.3.1 was released yesterday with Kotlin 1.8.10 support: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/releases/tag/v1.3.1
As such, a pair of related releases late last night for those needing the latest compatibility:
- Molecule 0.8.0 is the same as 0.7.1 but with the new Compose version: https://github.com/cashapp/molecule/releases/tag/0.8.0
- Mosaic 0.5.0 has the new Compose version along with a new `renderMosaic` function which returns a single `String` rendering of the composition for static output: https://github.com/JakeWharton/mosaic/releases/tag/0.5.0
Exciting! Mastodon may soon see support for incoming rich text.
Which means that more formatting options will be seen in Mastodon.

See screenshot for what this might look like.
