Whenever a new social network launches, I compare it against my post about the 4 parts to finding our way out of the mess with social networks. Checking off just 1 or 2 of the 4 parts isn’t going to cut it.

I wish the billions (trillions?) that were being spent on self driving cars was being spent on public transit.

The Web We’ve Made

November 17th, 2019

Let us not overlook the fact that a semantic HTML web site is inherently accessible by default. When we bend the web to our will, we break that. So we have a responsibility to correct it. Sure the new technologies are neat, but the end result is usually garbage. This all requires some next-level narcissism that our goals and priorities as developers are far more important than that of the audience we’re theoretically building software to serve.

I'd like to welcome @nightpool as co-chair of the W3C Social Web Community Group, along with myself and @aaronpk!

It's been obvious that we needed more help for some time. @nightpool has consistently been a positive participant in the group and I'm happy to have them help us in community organization and governance.

@aaronpk A really big umbrella plus whatever else you want
