I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

Open Web Advocacy has a post about the degree of regulatory and activist pressure was brought to bear to make this happen.

A thing I'm curious about is on what timeframe, if at all, third party browsers will wind up being allowed to do home screen PWAs. It does seem somewhat impractical to spec, write API for, and implement such a feature before any third party browsers even exist, but one thing Apple is right about is allowing Safari to make home screen PWAs but not alternate browsers is not creating a level playing field.

im just hearing abt this now, and this article takes apple's press release at face value and didn't speculate on what the "real" reason apple wanted to do this. but im guessing everyone was clowning on apple for this obvious attempt to quash any alternative to using their app store? or do ppl think it was about something else or just incompetence?

in reply to @mcc's post:

I do believe that parts of Apples statement about this being a complex issue that requires a special security model. They should have already started work on it but assuming they didn’t I don’t see it coming to other engines until 18.0-18.1 in late fall
