@slightlyoff@toot.cafe @jaffathecake@mastodon.social From the outside of the Webstandards process this all looks very much like Google pulling a “fuck your complaints, we’re shipping it.” and should be treated as a hostile act

@ash@icosahedron.website @jaffathecake@mastodon.social "web standards" are misunderstood, in part, because trailing vendors have had a long history of trying to obscure the central role of voluntary adoption in Internet Standards. That's a problem that I've written about: https://infrequently.org/2025/08/how-do-committees-fail-to-invent/ The firmer ground to argue from is that there doesn't appear to be a path to plausible interoperability.
