Thanks to @julsraemy at #swib25, today I learned the source of the " #Standards are made by the people who show up" quote: Dave Cramer (2016), https://medium.com/@dauwhe/w3c-and-idpf-better-together-c92988674444
For more information on Julien's presentation, based on his PHD thesis, see https://forum.swib.org/t/linked-open-usable-data-for-cultural-heritage-community-building-and-semantic-interoperability-in-practice/1443

Absolute banger of a post by @mariafarrell, shared by @tarakiyee on another network. Every other paragraph is quote-worthy.
"That impulse to scour away the messiness that makes life resilient is what many conservation biologists call the pathology of command and control. Today, the same drive to centralize, control and extract has driven the internet to the same fate as the ravaged forests."

I've gotten sufficiently annoyed with a trivial problem that I'm preparing to write an IETF RFC. Yeah. That's how ticked off I am!
Every site that I sign up for asks me to upload an avatar to represent myself. Whenever I change my photo, I have to log in to a hundred sites and change it…

The #European #standards being developed to allow compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act have unusually high participation from #OpenSource community members. As a result many of the draft standards are being developed in markdown and are available for public review in ETSI's Gitlab instance. You will find links next to each standard on this page:
https://www.stan4cra.eu/etsi-tc-cyber
Positive contributions are actively invited. I'm vice-chair of the committee hosting the work and I approve this message 🙂

I highly recommend everyone to watch @nicorikken 's talk about challenges in using #IEC #standards in #FreeSoftware . Issues like that have a huge impact in our daily lives.
(Nico is also a long term volunteer of the @fsfe but this talk is in his work capacity for Alliander)
Do you care about #OpenSource and #Standards and have a US presence? You have until this Friday the 19th to submit feedback on the draft US Standards Strategy: https://www.ansi.org/standards-news/all-news/8-4-25-us-standards-strategy-2025-now-available-for-public-review-and-comment I suggest to call for 1) legal guarantees for open source implementations of standards, 2) ensure that open standards remain open when incorporated into standardization bodies and 3) a lower barrier for participation. I presented on the issues of standards in open source last week. Slides: https://lfenergysummiteu2025.sched.com/event/26J0P/challenges-in-using-iec-standards-in-open-source-nico-rikken-alliander

chrome developers: we are thinking of dropping support for rendering RSS feeds as something other than garbage code. does anyone have any reasons not to do this?
developers from many different backgrounds: yes, I rely on normal people being able to understand RSS for my business. dropping support will be disastrous for me because I can't rely on people to have some random extension installed.
chrome devs: OK well we're probably going to do it anyway because we can't be bothered to support web standards. uwu google is only a teensy wee company uwu
