‘…an early draft… named Mr. Soros six times, pointing to reports that Mr. Warren had received indirect support for his campaign from the billionaire Jewish philanthropist, a frequent target of conservatives and of antisemitic tropes… In another draft, Mr. Treadwell highlighted a passage referring to Mr. Soros and wrote, “I would prefer to remove these allegations, but they may be valuable for the larger political narrative.”’
Mastodon FeedI see people excited about powering their houses from an EV.
It's a really cool feature technically, but in reality I have no use for it.
Mastodon FeedAre power outages a real thing in the USA?

More headcount means lowered stress in every WG and CG. It means not having to omit the truth or gaslight developers. It means being able to participate in design like a Real Boy browser.
The future of competing is not a risk for WebKit, it's an asset with variable (but high) returns.
Managera in the Apple software universe that grok this differently either owns a nice house in SF (and another in Marin/Tahoe) or are slightly deluded.

The feeling is understandable, the cause is not my (extremely belated, if unusually informed and detailed) critique. WebKit is a failure. It's renovation will be useful, but all trust is now destroyed.
The only path forward is competition, and it will help Fruties too.

The hours I've personally spent consulting on how to handle toxic Apple engineers would saturate even the most generous biography with boring repetition. No amount of bad behaviour in public – in service of delay at least – was, seemingly, too much.
And I'm reliably informed Apple feel aggrieved!
Honestly, and with the benefit of hindsight and my own (considerable) errors: fuck that noise.

This is, of course, the top of the shite funnel. Because Apple Corporate and Apple Legal muzzle debate, along with myriad and regrettable AstroTurf organisations that Apple is now funding (strongest tell: no coders on staff), the good folks on WebKit are harmed, but so are the collaborative and thoughtful engineers from every other project.
We tiptoe on egg shells to avoid angering Cupertino, slowing progress immesurably.
