This blog post introduces an analysis of the systemic impact, on the Web, of AI systems, and in particular ones based on Machine Learning models, and the role that Web standardization may play in managing that impact.
#AAPL's recent changes to #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) functionality in #iOS, specifically in the #EU, has sparked outrage among #webdev. The company's late acknowledgment of intentionally limiting PWA capabilities, presented as compliance with the EU's #DigitalMarketsAct, has been criticized as deceitful. This move, seen as an attempt to protect its #appStore#monopoly, undermines open #webStandards and harms #developers and users.
They stood for a challenge we had 15–20 years ago, when individuals said they cared about #webstandards, #accessibility, separation of concerns (#SOC), #conformance, but were not found to walk the talk.
The good news is, we don’t have this problem anymore.
The bad news is, it’s not that everyone was into quality now—it’s more that people seem indifferent.
Now, our field can use standardistas. True ones—but maybe also armchair ones.
