Every year at @w3c TPAC there's a breakouts day where we all collaboratively propose meetings and, since COVID these have been remotely open - which is kind of awesome. This year, they're trying one independently of TPAC which is pretty cool. I've proposed a session about How We Fund the Web Ecosystem. Hope you can join it :)

Is anyone here interested in the 6502 microprocessor?

I got a little frustrated with the poor quality of online resources, so I put this together:

PWAs won't work on iOS, but only in the EU.
Q: Why is it a big deal?
A: 🧵

Most businesses choose PWA apps because they want to:
1- Avoid app stores
2- Write one code for both iOS and Android

With Apple removing PWA support in iOS for EU users, businesses now have to:
1- Write a PWA app for Android users and iOS users outside the EU
2- Write a native app for iOS users in the EU

🧵
3/3

In the end, Progressive Web Apps will disappear. Although Apple has removed support for PWA in the EU only, the ripple effect of this change is poised to end PWAs entirely. This means businesses will have to rely on app stores and their gatekeepers again.

Regardless of whether you are a business or developer in or outside the EU, you will be affected. This is why you should sign this letter:

I'm tired of hearing about AI, to be honest. I never cared for it. I don't respect people who use generative AI, and I despise companies that sell out people's data to train it. Yes, people will lose jobs to it, but the world will not be better for it. It's just that consequences are rarely immediately apparent in such complex systems.

I've long wondered about the vocal cadre of ex-MSFT Apple apologists. They seem mostly interested in defending the idea of there *being* such a thing as a benevolent monopolist, even if they acknowledge their own attempts fell short.

Keeping the dream alive seems more important than actual lived reality for users, developers, and the ecosystem.

High Modernism is a hell of a drug.
