Ladybird browser goes serious: GitHub billionaire co-founder now involved
Well, it seems we've got a better understanding now of why Andreas Kling decided to leave the SerenityOS project to focus entirely on Ladybird, the web browser that grew out of his hobby operating system. They've got some big plans for where to take Ladybird, and I'm saying "they" because i
The web works — and continues to grow — because it is a collaboration. No one has full control.
We have written an open letter to the United Nations: the proposed Global Digital Compact threatens this collaborative evolution with more centralized governance. That would be not good.
Read what 36 of us from among the technical leadership of the @w3c, @ietf more have to say about this threat.
Along with 35 colleagues, I have signed an open letter to the UN to keep the internet decentralised, open, and multistakeholder. While our existing governance model needs an upgrade, replacing it with hierarchical state control is not the answer. #OpenInternet https://open-internet-governance.org/letter

Could our technology serve us better if we start centering the most impacted and at-risk members of society in the tech design process?
In this 2022 report, the “Design from the Margins” framework offers an alternative that reduces harms caused by blindspots and makes technology better, safer, and more resilient for everyone.

Did you ever wonder why there are 90 degrees in a right angle instead of 100, and 24 hours a day instead of 10?
Perhaps you can blame Napoleon.
In 1795, as part of the French Revolution, the French passed a law requiring that clocks have 10 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, and 100 seconds per minute. They also brought in a system of angles with 400 degrees in a full turn, or 100 degrees in a right angle. Now the earth would rotate 40 degrees in an hour - and thanks to how the meter was defined, each degree of latitude would be 100 kilometers long.
Of course, changing to the new system would require a lot of work. The economist Condorcet proposed that teams of unemployed wig makers be used to calculate mathematical tables with the new units. Why wig makers? Because after the revolution, aristocrats no longer needed them! (You don't need a wig if you don't have a head.)
The mathematical physicist Laplace was enthusiastic and had his watch converted to the new time. His great five-volume work Traité de Mécanique Céleste, was written using the new units of time and angle! But in general the metric system for time and angle did not catch on at all. And in 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte decreed that the French calendar should revert to the old style.
The "Pay or Consent" advertising model of Meta fails to comply with the Digital Markets Act.
Our preliminary findings show that this choice forces users to consent to the combination of their personal data and fails to provide them a less personalised but equivalent version of Meta’s social networks.
The Internet is successful and valuable to society because it is decentralised. I've signed an open letter to the United Nations that explains how some proposals for the Global Digital Compact endanger it. #OpenInternet
@mnot much appreciated, though as a casual observer of this development I would greatly appreciate some concrete examples of the proposals which have been deemed to be maligned with the open web.
