I'm glad Apple now cares about browser parity and all, but every experienced frontend developer on the planet is walking around with the knowledge that transparent colors are a huge footgun because there's only one way to do them that works in Safari, even though they work perfectly everywhere else, and I would just have a little more faith in the sincerity of that initiative if they would just fix that massive hole that's always existed in their browser.

@jamie @fromjason yeah I'm confused. I think we need to really fight to keep certain terms strictly defined right now because bigtech is using any and every buzzword to incept corporate concepts into FOSS stuff that becomes useless to us if they get infected by such inane development pressures and inevitably go extinct

I don’t think companies should be allowed to do this? #Meta https://themarkup.org/privacy/2024/01/17/each-facebook-user-is-monitored-by-thousands-of-companies-study-indicates

The ideal Web is an entire internet that is "social", i.e. it is in service to the people and not some corporate hypercapitalist hellhole.
So, I also really like this quote by @Jeremiah that "The next big social network is just the Web".

"In many ways, ocean heat content represents a much better measure of #ClimateChange than global average surface temperatures. It is where most of the extra heat ends up and is much less variable on a year-to-year basis than surface temperatures. It shows a distinct acceleration after 1991, matching the increased rate of greenhouse gas emissions and other radiative forcing elements over the past few decades."

- https://github.com/rust-embedded/embedded-hal/issues/177embedded-hal (often abbreviated e-h) is a hardware abstraction layer in the form of a collection of Rust traits (both sync and async). It allows writing device drivers that will run on any hardware that implements the HAL.
Stabilization is a great thing for the Embedded Rust ecosystem. Go ahead and write drivers!

Well, as a social media account holder, I recognize an opportunity to post a devastating snarky takedown about that very well-liked thing!
Notice I will not be making any useful critique, nor offering any helpful suggestions. My plan is merely to reap social credit by being an asshole, which I'm entitled to, because other people owe it to me to discuss only what I approve.
