Hi Steve,
Thank you for this great overview! Yes, it is useful.
Some features are marked as "implemented interoperably (across multiple browsers)". May I ask which browsers have been tested here?
Thank you!
AI & the Web: Understanding and managing the impact of Machine Learning models on the Web
"This document proposes an analysis of the systemic impact of AI systems, and in particular ones based on Machine Learning models, on the Web, and the role that Web standardization may play in managing that impact."
@tomayac Heh. At least <abbr title> has its tooltip everywhere you use it, even if it doesn't extend that information to other instances of the abbreviation.
@jyasskin Except if you're on mobile. Or if you don't have a hover-able device like a mouse on desktop. It sounds like something that CSS should be smart about, in a sense of, like, only expand it the first time. I'm totally making this up:
abbr::after {
content: "(" + attr(title) + ")";
}
I recall <q> is smart about quotes, too, so maybe the parentheses concatenation construct isn't even needed and it'd just do the locale-typical thing automatically.
On the W3C blog: "Managing the impact of AI & Machine Learning on the Web" by @dontcallmeDOM
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.
@john_fisherman@fumacapt This is not specifically about RSS, but having standards we can all build around is cool and matters, in general.
With RSS, I am not tied to a specific client. If an RSS reader I currently use doesn't suit me anymore, or it shuts down, I can easily export the RSS feeds I follow and use another RSS reader.
I can even make my own RSS reader, if I wanted to, or use RSS feeds in some other, more creative ways.
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.
