It feels like kind of a problem that companies attempt to organize on a planet-wide scale, but protections, etc don't

@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@dginev It does, but "companies do” adds something extra spicy

Anyone knows what, if anything, that’s holding back the Web Share Target API from Safari and Firefox? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/share_target

I would love to be able to install a bookmark manager as a PWA and easily share to it.

Right now I would need to do quite some juggling with Apple Shortcuts to get a similar functionality

Maybe one of @jensimmons, @tomayac, @paul knows?

@voxpelli @jensimmons @tomayac @paul I expect it's mainly just priorities.. It's still work to make it standard, integrate specs, etc. and WebKit is "neutral" on it, for example https://webkit.org/standards-positions/#position-11 .. there's just way more stuff than there is people and funding all around

@callionica @voxpelli @jensimmons @tomayac @paul

My statement is true of all engines/browsers and standards in general. Everything ultimately has to be prioritized. Ultimately every team has budgets and limits, and none of them can prioritize everything.

Is it normal for Google / Chromium to assign a bug report to the reporter?

Someone with a google-dot-com email address assigned it to me but I have no idea what that means.

Like, do I work for Google now? Is that how it happens?

In the past 10 years, how many times have you switched your default/main browser?

bkardell,
@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@kizu Hmm, yeah - tricky. idk, you decide :)

In CS we use "sink" and "float", and also in CSS we use "float" in an entirely different way - and they are all totally unrelated. I wonder if this is confusing if you have a lot of boats in your background.

The perks of my dad being friends with a family whose business is growing in Vallauris.

From when I was little I recall they occasionally gave us big eggs from their geese and I wasn’t exactly sure what they actually did for a living 😀

Was looking for on old graph I had made 20 years ago about how tests can pass and the same time not having interop (one of the points of @bkardell recent post https://bkardell.com/blog/WPT-Dashboard.html ), but I could not find it (Eventually I will), but funny I found this about head elements used in body circa 2007 :D https://www.w3.org/2007/05/dom-head-body

Assuming the premise that us CSS developers aren't reaching for container queries as much as well all thought we would is true...

Why do you think that is?

@chriscoyier @potch @Meyerweb I think there are numerous things here! It would require a thread, or a blog post, or a podcast episode... How would you prefer? :)

In the end I asked my daughter whether she thought i should grow the whole beard and she said

"Eww. No."

So, i shaved 😋

@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

I've been sick so my personal/appearance care has been kind of near 0 and I've got like a 50% beard on the rest of my face now - every time it gets to this point I am like "should I try a full on beard, I'm halfway there".

bkardell,
@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@JeanPDeliet Well, I've had my same facial hair for 30+ years so it's kind of part of me... I did try none during the pandemic but it was weird and I didn't like it. I've never wanted a full beard, my dad had one... but... I am slightly curious

We’ve always told devs that browsers prioritize what to implement based on dev demand.

There is one exception: .

SVG is used on >65% of websites. Yet, browsers have been refusing to work on SVG, ignoring pressure and pain points from web devs.

showed SVG as the top content pain point: https://2023.stateofhtml.com/en-US/features/content/#content_pain_points

Tons of work (SVG 2, fill & stroke, and more) has sat unimplemented for years. At this point, in standards circles, we know not to touch SVG with a barge pole.

@karlcow @Lukew @rauschma @leaverou @igalia @WPEWebKit The longer answer is that I've been trying to suggest this since at least 2019 (https://bkardell.com/blog/Beyond.html): Joint interest group funding of areas would make a lot of sense - I've even suggested the W3C might incorporate this (part of the Kronos metaverse thing actually seems to encourage it). I've pitched several - including exactly this one for an SVG fund to folks at other orgs because it seems obvious to me. It's a change in mentality tho
