It will unilaterally kill many extensions people use today. Rather than an open API based on a W3C standard, you now have to use a Google maintained one to negotiate the design of the software. Interoperability and inspectability replaced with centralisation and obfuscation. 6/7

Kindle Publishing Guidelines state that sRGB is not supported and (presumably) linear RGB should be used. But AFAIK JPEG does not support linear RBG, you can transform the pixel data but the metadata still says sRGB. /1

About a month ago @roopikarisam was asking me whether TEI is a "cult"...my answer should have been, it's bigger than TEI and it has a manifesto and a Discord chat, and a book club now. The book we're reading this month is A Canticle for Leibowitz.
Do you work with #XML or other #markup technologies? Whether you're an academic or a software engineer, a librarian or a data architect, we want to meet you! DM us for an invite to our Discord social server. We have a markup-geek book club and other fun things 💻🖖💕

If you need a wake-up call, here it is: My husband was on a large conference call of American med school deans last night. One asked about legal coverage for pulling people off ventilators to give to others more likely to survive. I.e., not being charged with murder. Here we are.

Read this. Outraged? Think it’s rare? It’s not rare at all. At least four times I’ve had a boss/ tech lead/ someone in charge who believes & says things exactly like this. I only found out they believe such things much later. That’s four times that I know of. Likely many more.

Shout out to the special education teacher on here who once said to me: “You should feel happy knowing that when you die God is going to take the burden of disability from you and You will be whole again.” I hope she’s having a terrible day.

It’s too easy for many of us to take the web for granted. We build it. We make things for building it. But take a moment with me.... What is the web? What did it turn out to be? Why does it matter? What role does the web play in people’s lives? Why do you care about the web?
