IANAL but I'd have thought Oracle and before that SUN did really far too little to protect their JavaScript TM, and it's become well and truly genericized. While Google and XEROX contested and protected their TMs, Zipper, App Store (yep Apple lost a case on that) and Yo-yo among others all were lost in this way.

"Since its inception over 12(!) years ago, there's been a glaring animation-sized hole in React's API.
…
As its name implies, is based on the browser's powerful new View Transition API feature."

There is an irony here I am too tired to unpack.

Google must have had a 'let's enshittify a bunch of stuff all at once and flood the zone' moment since as of yesterday in google maps desktop Safari, when I try to choose 'current location' instead of asking via the Geo API, it simply says 'Google Maps does not have permission to use your location' and essentially asks for permanent access.
In Mac Chrome still asks for permission to use the GEO Location API

Meanwhile Proton the front runners for my migration away from Gmail turn out to be terrible folks, Fastmail have very poor labor relations to say the least–where should I go?

"The idea I keep coming back to is that the big platforms, like Dickens' Marley, were dead to begin with, and are now something particularly bad, which is dead on their feet."
this piece, 'Bad Shape' but @kissane is absolutely required reading.
It feels like the tobacco industry all over again., just speedrun.

Probably time for governments that actually function to mandate fact checking and regulate the toxic nature of social media. We regulate products all the time. It’s how societies function.
And I think the threat of companies stopping operations in smaller countries is far less scary for governments now than even relatively recently.

I'm sure the likes of Voltaire didn't think they's see the world they hoped to come to pass in their lifetimes–and yet they helped imagine it into being, sowing seeds, narratives and ideas that germinated over decades and centuries.

The @w3c recently published a set of ethical principles
https://www.w3.org/TR/ethical-web-principles/
to help shape the ongoing development of the Web.
My humble suggestion is all companies that benefit from the web adopt them too and these form the social contract of the Web.
Hey an idealist can idealise.

I’ve written a bookmarklet for Bluesky so you can add a clip from any web page as a post.
I’m keen to do the same for mastodon. But wondering if you can authenticate/authorize from client side JavaScript inserted into a 3rd party page (web components and private JavaScript fields mean the containing page can’t access the credentials)

Two decades ago I started a little project looking to apply the ideas from ‘A Pattern Language’ by Alexander et al (pattern languages from architecture not programming languages like the gang 4) to architecting for the web.
When I think about the supposed app/site dichotomy I come back to patterns.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pattern_Language
A key lesson is patterns are composable solutions to problems at different scales.
