tabletop rpg obsessed, particularly lancer, icon, cain, the treacherous turn, eclipse phase, and pathfinder 2e. also a fan of the elder scrolls and star wars, an avid gamer and reader of webcomics, and when my brain cooperates, a hobbyist writer.

 

the urge to share my creations versus the horrifying ordeal of being perceived. fight of the millennium. anyway posts about my ocs are tagged with "mal's ocs" (minus the quotes). posts about or containing my writing are tagged with "mal's writing" (again, sans quotes). posts about my sci-fi setting specifically are tagged "the eating of names". i'd pin the latter two if they were actually among my top 15 most used tags lol. fair warning, my writing tends to be quite dark and deal with some heavy themes.

 

avatar is a much more humanoid depiction of my OC Arwen Tachht than is strictly accurate, made in this Picrew. (I have humanoidsonas for my non-humanoid OCs because I cannot draw them myself and must rely on dollmakers and such, hooray chronic pain)

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
