I'll probably be less active here today because I'm trying to finish a blog post where I pour all my hate for #Google's decade-long history of attacks to the #openWeb and #indieWeb and it's taking way longer than I expected.
EDIT: you can now read it here https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/google-killing-open-web/ and now I'm going to go over a full day of backlog here on Fedi 8-D
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
If you read just one thing today, make sure it's this: "Google is killing the open web" a brilliantly written and researched piece by @oblomov that will get you riled up and eager to defend the #OpenWeb against the incessant attacks by #BigTech:

A lot of #openweb work, including the #ActivityPub standard, which was developed in such spaces, without the need for a paywall or corporate sponsorship. This ethos is central to the commons-building process, where trust, collaboration, and openness are valued more than monetization or statues in formal hard structures. Fediverse, grassroots, native, trust, openness, and collaboration https://hamishcampbell.com/fediverse-grassroots-native-trust-openness-and-collaboration-thrive/
