Would you look at that! Firefox 120 is out and I’ve got myself a little credit on the release notes. 🥹
Responsive video is now supported in Firefox and Safari. Go ahead and set up those sources with some media queries and save some users some bandwidth! Chrome 120 will be out in another week or so and then support will be across-the-board. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/120.0/releasenotes/

Attribution of source code has been limited to comments, but a deeper embedding of attribution into code is possible. When an embedded attribution is removed or is incorrect, the code should no longer work. I've developed a way to do this in Haskell that is lightweight to add, but requires more work to remove than seems worthwhile for someone who is training an LLM on my code. And when it's not removed, it invites LLM hallucinations of broken code.

A few weeks back there was a news cycle about Apple trying to wriggle out of the EU's DMA by claiming that Safari is ACTUALLY 3 *totally* different browsers (for iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS)...which is hilarious? And sad?

This might trigger despair because it can seem inevitable that big tech's white-shoe lawyers would once again get away with (proverbial) murder. But anti-competitive predation isn't inevitable, and @owa is on the case!

Don't let the focus on shadow DOM as style/subtree isolation scare you off--it's also a neat tool for building expressive mini-languages in HTML that anyone can use.

Mobile app stores are rotten and anti-competitive, part 8,617:

It's actually worse for competition that Google and Apple are cutting dirty side deals with publishers big enough to shake them down, as it hurts the chances of their competitors.
The anti-choice architecture of app stores is indefensible in a world where safe browsers can deliver the same services; no wonder Apple and Play have worked so hard to prevent that.

- 41. Media Matters represents itself as “a progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”6 Since its launch in 2004, it has engaged in an all-out campaign of “guerilla warfare and sabotage” on conservative news sources.7 In this context, X Corp. and Elon Musk are a critical Media Matters target because X is the most prominent online platform that permits users to share all viewpoints, whether liberal or conservative, and Mr. Musk is the most prominent voice on the platform and a passionate supporter of free speech. In taking down two forces it already found objectionable, Media Matters had the chance to starve X of ad revenue and thereby silence all of the voices on X. Nothing in Media Matters’ campaign was coincidental or accidental. And, its guerilla attack on X is working, driving away X’s advertisers and revenue precisely as intended. (remote)
- PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Plaintiff X Corp. prays for judgment in its favor and the following relief: 1. Actual and consequential damages caused by Defendants’ misconduct, including but not limited to all general and special damages; 2. A preliminary and permanent injunction ordering Defendants to immediately delete, take down, or otherwise remove the article entitled “As Musk Endorses Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory, X Has Been Placing Ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity Next to Pro-Nazi Content From Its Web” from all websites and social media accounts owned, controlled, or operated, directly or indirectly, by Defendants; 3. X Corp.’s costs and attorneys’ fees to litigate this action; and 4. For such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper (remote)
