We need leaders on the web who understand the stakes. The wealth bubble has made a lot of these people extremely complacent, and over time, that seems to have dulled them...which makes it a mystery that they keep talking like they know things.

I’ve become accustomed to my iPhone at this point, but boy howdy does safari disappoint me at every opportunity it gets. The DMA has been in effect for long enough that I wish they’d challenge Apple’s awful rules for building a real browser.

There's still a lot to do on this to make it a real proposal and to document the motivation and rationale more thoroughly, but I think it's a good start.

I'm looking for feedback, suggestions, and co-champions if anyone out there is interested!

Zed is my day to day editor. Rarely do I run into any reason to have another editor installed. For the very large codebase I work on, it's much quicker to boot and search files than anything I've used before.

The CMA found Apple's ban on browser engines restricts the ability of third-party browsers to innovate and develop features.

Well surely that's due to the Safari team sitting on their hands and being 5-8 years late in shipping it, and even now that it has, it's still quite gimped?

Burning out developer enthusiasm is the precise goal in Apple dragging their feet on web features after all.

I like the work @open-web-advocacy.org is doing with getting regulators involved. Rather punish the source than consumers. I want an iPhone with other browsing engines.
