look, I get why y’all like the “supply chain” rhetoric, it helps you continue pretending that software security can be solved through capitalistic means
here’s the thing: I’ve run a manufacturing business before. I’m getting a second one going. Supply Chains are defined by an exchange of money for goods, with value-add steps in between. That’s it
Where’s the money, Lebowski?
Software packaging security is a social trust problem, which can’t actually be “solved” in a capitalist framework

@rgadellaa Maybe Gruber would change his mind about the web not being for apps if he had a decent browser on his phone? 🤔🤔🤔

I keep tooting this post, but that's partially because @rgadellaa keeps updating it as the history of Apple's uniquely colossal iOS web #fail gets more richly reported.
Storing data in an iOS PWA has been a particularly unreliable thing to try:

Apple alone can fix this, but won't, and won't let better browsers try. Which leaves only native apps.
Conclusively anti-competitive no matter how you slice it.

Talk about a grotesque invasion of privacy:
"Smart TVs from Samsung and LG take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console"
How can this possibly be legal?
Here's why: Congress isn't just indifferent to your privacy. It is actively complicit with big corporations -- and law enforcement -- in embedding surveillance into everything we do.

7⃣ 545 ❤️ Cycling gradient glow - no text duplication https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/rNPOpJK
A simple #SVG filter trick.
We create the gradient text.
The filter creates a blurred copy of it and places it underneath.
We then animate the gradient stops... magic! 🪄✨

Also, stop connecting non-lethal machines to the internet. It's probably not necessary to have connected fridges, coffee makers, toothbrushes, shoes, sweaters, whatever else we're thinking about.
I mean, if you want to make a one-off hack and connect your hoodie to the internet allowing strangers to control the drawstrings for a laugh, cool. But if you're thinking about mass producing them, providing "where is my hoodie" services, and monetizing the data etc. Just... don't.

Has mullenweg walked back any of his bullshit yet? It's incredible that this is happening at all, but taking longer than a day to fix it is unacceptable.
The thing is, wordpress plugins are a tarpit as it is. The plugin registry is a trust anchor in an otherwise untrustworthy space. But part of gaining trust is demonstrating reliability. This whole thing is intentionally sacrificing reliability in order to demonstrate malice.
I'm struggling to imagine a way to more effectively destroy trust.
