@simon My new-internet-thing rules are, I think, these:
1. if you have a personal domain already then you're likely to keep it. Host things there, not on their own domain.
2. if you don't, then you have no pre-existing inclination toward internet permanence. Decide whether you or VC-funded companies are likely to have more staying power
2a. if you think it's you, buy a domain and host your thing on it
2b. if it's not you, pick a company with a good record (github, wordpress &c) and put it there

Stuart Langridge (sil@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 21-Jul-2023 19:39:46 JST Stuart Langridge Nice to see that real places recognise that the web is best and “install an app” is not something that actual people really want to do for something they’ll do once.

Interesting podcast!

Stuart Langridge (sil@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 09-May-2023 09:05:45 JST Stuart Langridge @avlcharlie Firefox is based on Mozilla's engine, Gecko. Safari and Epiphany are based on WebKit, and every browser on iOS is required to be a Safari webview. Most other browsers (except on iOS) these days are based on Blink, Chrome's engine, which started as a fork of WebKit but has evolved differently. (As you note, Opera was based on Presto, Opera's engine, a long time ago, but is now Chromium.)

Stuart Langridge (sil@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 07-May-2023 21:42:22 JST Stuart Langridge seen people post an image about how many browsers are Chromium under the covers these days, except Firefox, which is true (and why I use Firefox). Here's an addition to that bit of knowledge, because of the #AppleBrowserBan .
