@aburka I tried but nah it goes all the way to the top, and w3c staff send intimidation in response to dissent, so not worth it for most. The time to stop it was the last 2.5 years of discussion and conspicuous lack of consensus. that was all after w3c staff told insiders at TPAC 2023 off minutes “send me a charter and I’ll get the WG started right away”.

It’s not up to us or even AP editors, none of whom have supported this.
It’s up to the W3C CEO and board.

@ai6yr @catsalad @Laukidh @jerry @cR0w Oh dear.

@lauren Yeah totally. It's so ephemeral. But I also don't have to worry about anyone's lives in making VFX. "No babies will live or die based on what this spaceship does." :)

@sundogplanets I love transit when it’s not crowded and underfunded, and properly allocated road space like the time of its riders matter; so right now I love e-biking more.

@derek Composing a comprehensive allowlist, we stopped using the word whitelist a while ago, depends on a lot of things. First of all, where are you located? Britain, Canada, France?

A good starting point can be the TV-channels you children watch. Check out all the websites related to programmes on those channels and go from there.

Another route is to just switch your entire household over to a save DNS. The European Commission has started secure DNS servers, see:

@ai6yr @catsalad @Laukidh @jerry @cR0w Oh dear.

Good riddance

"I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know."

"1,000 more federal officers heading to Minnesota, according to reports:"

@virtualbri This was one of the aspects of film effects work (even back in my day) that I found more than a bit disconcerting. An awful lot of work often by an awful lot of people for a creation that in a typically very short time will be yesterday's news. Not like, say, building a suspension bridge. Or even a sewer line. You know what I mean.

@catsalad Sláinte meow! That is Cats Gaelic for Good Health.
