One of the most important — and probably difficult — things rich and powerful people should do is figure out how to keep people around them who will tell them when their jokes aren’t funny. (Seriously!)
The state of Lower Austria offers a public dashboard with up-to-date flood data. That's great, but whyyy is it an Angular SPA? Lots of people have no electricity and/or very poor network conditions. They get a loading spinner instead.

The rise of the Web prematurely ended an era of active research and creative experimentation with hypertext technologies. In this paper @eastgate picks up where this era left off, and presents a neoclassical extension to embed web components in a classical hypertext system.

Great God above.
Pensioners just above the poverty line don't need Winter Fuel Allowance but well paid Ministers need to have their clothes bought for them on top of the myriad expenses MPs claim for things us common bogs pay for from our incomes.
Lammy is typical of a political class so far up its own backside it can't see its own absurdity.

in reply to David Llewellyn-Jones • • •Now the work at the next version of ESR can start. 😂
Are there some ideas about a WebKit or Ladybird based browser engine?
If I'm right, the UBports folks think about to switch over to WebKit.

in reply to Marko • • •@decorum It sounds crazy but I'd love to start on ESR 102. It doesn't make sense until ESR 91 is locked down though (or I'd get in a complete mess). If things go to plan the next jump will be a whole lot easier.
I've not seen serious discussion recently about Sailfish moving from Gecko. There are benefits to doing so and it'll interesting to follow UBports (that's news to me, thank you!), but there are both technical and philosophical reasons for sticking with Gecko right now.
