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

Le web est une infrastructure et sa longévité dépendra de sa résilience. @tidoust proposera les solutions pour le faire durer dans le temps : des référentiels, des boucles et du lien humain.

The UK Government has an open consultation on Standard Essential Patents underway.

@openuk will be responding to this and providing some guidance over the next few weeks for individuals and interested parties who wish to follow our approach to the response.

Very important to have the risks of these in open source flagged clearly to government as we see an increased focus on standards for global governance.

I don't think getting consistency with SVG's filters is going to be a problem. None of the implementations for em and ex are consistent. Percent is broken in a couple too, including Inkscape.

@federicomena Let me know if you want the SVG test file.

And I must also acknowledge the challenges we're dealing with here. I'm just begging everyone to be cool if you see someone using the fediverse a bit differently than what you're used to, or goes on a bit of a rant to vent a minor frustration, or asks a rhetorical question.

Not everything requires a response.

If you mostly agree with a post, give it a like/star/whatever, and move on with your life. If you disagree, but the person isn't hurting anyone, then the post is not for you.

I just want the fediverse to be a safe place we can share together, where people can come to be themselves, and where we can connect and help each other. We all need this.

Happy 7th anniversary of becoming an official W3C standard, ActivityPub!

https://www.w3.org/news/2018/activitypub-is-now-a-w3c-recommendation/

We're creating something truly special here with the fediverse, and I am so thankful for everyone who contributes to it, whether with your time, money, or just by sharing your thoughts, your creations, your silly little jokes. Keep it up!
