Entre Tokyo et Kobe.

Notre dame brûle. Drame. Bijoux volés. Drame.

Réchauffement planétaire. Tout le monde s’en cogne.

Just realizing that with the new W3C logo, my mug is now vintage.

A must listen for all browser implementers and the millions of us working on Interop/Webcompat issues. A very good podcast with @RickByers hosted by @bkardell and Eric Meyer.

> "Blink's Principles of Web Compatibility and willingness to change and even unship features."

It's not necessary only about Blink as they touch about general things with regards to webcompat and interop. It's definitely home for me.

#webcompat

Every single time, an online service disappears, every single time, I want ways to host things on my computer at home. I don't need the performance. I don't need the 100% online reliability, not even 50%. I just want the permanence on my terms. And be able to shutdown when I decide. Internet providers, OS and software devs should make it possible for each of us to have this possibility.

A lot of challenges with this possibility but also a lot of possibilities with this challenge.

Completely missed this date. 6 March 2000. 1st ever meeting of bloggers of Montreal. #yulblog (25 years ago).

> YULBlog began in early 2000, when five Web-savvy people living in Montreal (Ed Bilodeau @edbilodeau , Michael Boyle https://www.mikel.org , Heather Champ @heather , Aaron Straup Cope @thisisaaronland , and David Petite) got together for drinks and to discuss the new phenomenon of blogging.

I was not there yet. Joined on March 2002 with a couple of others.

> The second reason is more important: The web was given to the world as a gift. It was given to the world by Tim Berners-Lee, with no licensing restrictions and it is hard to overstate how important that decision was. […] Anyone was free to participate on their own terms without the need to ask for permission or blessings and without the need to pay tribute in order to do so. — https://www.aaronland.info/weblog/2025/02/13/gummy/#fact2025 by @thisisaaronland

Table rendering bugs are fun. 🤩 a lot of subtleties to explore. Most of them probably useless and with no impact in reality but still super fun. I should write a blog post with examples. #css

Que du partage et de la générosité. Bravo à tous les participants.

It's very rare to post "Any progress?" as a comment on a bug will help in any ways.

If you think the bug has been forgotten, you can

* add more context, new information on how the bug is impacting your work, your website, etc.
* Talk about a website you noticed the issue
* Link to a forum/blog post where they are discussing this specific issue
* Add a testcase to the bug in question

(posting here, because it has happened to me to do just that on other projects and that's not useful.)

@jwz Could you share a bit more details about your initial configuration and the type of links you are clicking on.

I'm on Safari 18.1.1 (20619.2.8.11.12) for mastodon.cloud in a webapp view in full screen.

1. If I command + click on links to external resources, aka href="https://…", it opens a new window in my default browser (be Safari or Firefox)

2. If I command + click on links from the UI, aka href="/…" it opens a new webappview.

If you have never read it, I encourage you to do it. It's a milestone.

Things have changed a lot since its publication, and if you want to understand what the Technical Architecture Group (TAG) is up to these days, be sure to follow what is happening on the TAG homepage. https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/

> En France, presque tout le monde se dit prêt à agir pour le climat. Mais alors, pourquoi on ne le fait pas ? Si la crise climatique est aussi existentielle que le disent les scientifiques du Giec, pourquoi est-ce qu’on ne se met pas tous à agir ? Faut-il faire peur, faire pleurer, informer ou donner envie ?

On Fake Hannah Arendt Quotations

> The impulse to clarify, simplify, and “market” Arendt to a public trained on easy social media quotations is real.
>
> Which raises a second question: does the alteration matter? And here, the answer is yes. And it turns out that this is hardly the first time that Hannah Arendt’s words have been altered and simplified to ease their public consumption.

#w3cTPAC axiom:
------
In any meetings, it will be very likely at a point, that there will be 3 to 4 ex-Opera (Presto time) people, now working for other companies.
------

Opera Browser (Presto time) has been essential for the Web standards world by driving the technical work and teaching to engineers to participate.

This is an opportunity to improve #interop and #webcompat across browsers.

Read carefully the blog post and specifically the section "What Makes a Great Proposal?"
