Congrats to Justin Ridgewell @vercel@tweets.icu & Chengzhong Wu on advancing the "Async Context" proposal to Stage 1 at @TC39@fosstodon.org today 🎉
AsyncContext lets you propagate state throughout a potentially async callstack.
It is similar to Node's AsyncLocalStorage 👍
📣 Debugging memory problems in Chrome DevTools is now super fast ⚡
José Dapena has made heap snapshots *much* quicker based on investigations by Jason Williams & Ashley Claymore and funding from TechAtBloomberg 🎉

Dear Fediverse, I am still learning the ropes here. Your advice is appreciated.
I use Elk as my default Mastodon client. But when clicking links (from say Twitter) to a Mastodon post, it opens the original Mastodon client page, not Elk.
Is there a way to force links to open in Elk?
