Lol, Apple's attempted wriggling out of reasonable browser competition even hit El Reg:

It underlines the incoherence that iLeakage is *still* unpatched, leaving all iOS users unprotected because of the very monopoly Apple is spending $$$ lawyerbucks to protect.

Who could have possibly anticipated that a company willing to go to court over the meaning of the word "shall" to prevent UK regulators from enabling true browser choice would try similarly dodgy, anti-user nonsense in the EU?

Pleroma Blog - We got a grant from NLNet!

Nice to see the Pleroma team getting an NLNet grant so development can pick back up. I missed it when it happened but apparently there was a big shakeup with the Pleroma dev team. I'm glad they seem to be recovering from that and hopefully we'll see some sustained progress with Pleroma again. #pleroma #nlnet #fediverse

Last month I pointed out how Google was ignoring an obvious scam by refusing to take down malicious ads: https://mastodon.social/@campuscodi/111218275545652125

Today, Romania's largest gas operator is warning customers of the ads and the scam campaign—which Google could have easily nipped in the butt when it started:

Honorable mention to web components and PWAs here, too.

Everything in web development is exponentially better than it was at the end of the last decade...except the framework we've put at the center of it all.

Hey, next Wednesday I'll be at NodeConf EU, giving a talk together with @nic about the history of server-side Javascript runtimes, and contrasting past standardization efforts like CommonJS with newer, web-interoperable ones like WinterCG which might shape the future of JS in the server-side.

I think the reason React attracts so much derision is: it's the only part of the stack that's lagging behind.

JS is way better. CSS is almost unrecognizably great. Browsers are the best they've ever been. Build tools are a massive generational leap ahead.

But React, still the de facto industry standard, is just sitting there, mostly the same as it's been since the late 2010s; before ESM imports were standardized, before Grid was stable, before IE died off, before anyone ever heard of Vite.
