New Kitten release

• Fix: messages that are promises are properly awaited before being sent.

kitten.small-web.org

Kitten automatically and transparently handles asynchronous content in your templates for you so you don’t have to worry about it. One place where this wasn’t working properly is if you addressed `this.component` to stream a custom update of your component manually instead of calling the `this.update()` method of Kitten component instances.

e.g.,

```js
export default class AdminPage extends kitten.Page {
// …
onSelectedPost (data) {
this.send(kitten.html`<${this.component} postId='${data.selectedPost.postId}' />`)
}
}
```

@Catwoman69y2k @dragonfriend most importantly:

Only with #SelfCustody of all the keys, #SelfHosting of the entire infrastructure and everything being #OpenSource, one can assure (and [let it be] audit[ed] independently) that the #advertised #promises are in fact true.

Cuz not expecting @Mer__edith to break is the same level of "#TrustMeBro!" assurances as #ANØM, #EncroChat, #SkyECC, #WhatsApp etc. do in their #advetising #lies!

  • Remember: Corporations/Foundations/non-profits/... don't have a right to be silent , only individuals, and even then there are certain juristictions that have #KeyEscrow laws (i.e. #France, #Russia, #KSA, #China, #India, #UK , ...) in the books!

New Zealand’s Job Crisis: Austerity, Alienation, and the False Promises of Capitalism

awsm4u.noblogs.org/post/2025/0

This is not just an economic downturn—it is a manufactured crisis. Decades of neoliberal policies have gutted the public sector, driven wages down, and left workers with little security. Austerity has been sold as a solution, but it has only deepened the problem…

On Starmer’s list of ‘achievements’

Recently added slashing foreign aid to reformism, environmental damage, selling out the arts, WASPI women, increasingly authoritarian lawmaking (for those the government do not agree with - farmers in, environmentalists out), runways, 2 child support limit, taxation (lack of for their friends), corruption in the HoL, and more - and the promised so much - just not this…..

Norah Jones, Mavis Staples - Friendship

"Cause we got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all the (those) hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine
We got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all those hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine

If you're on the street, I'll take your hand
If you're hungry I'll give you food
If it's money you need, I've got some saved
If you're sick I'll visit you"
