Enshittification of things that used to work, first act.

[Scene: a cold -5°C outside, I'm wearing gloves and ready to cycle home]

Me: OK Google!

My watch, opening Gemini: blip!

Me: Start a cycling workout.

[My watch opens Fitbit and starts a workout]

Gemini: I can't start a workout for you. However, you can do it yourself by saying "OK Google!", and then "Start a cycling workout". That will do it!

we have been working on MathML interoperability across browser engines, making sure that formulas are rendered consistently regardless of your browser of choice.

i wrote about some of the highlights of our work and the challenges of contributing to three very different, large and opinionated codebases (Firefox, WebKit and Chromium). don't hesitate to leave any feedback or comment what you'd like to see next!

i am truly so happy to be able to work on open web standards alongside so many great people

The WebKitGTK GstWebRTC backend now relies on librice (https://github.com/ystreet/librice) for its ICE. The Sans-IO architecture of librice allows us to keep the WebProcess sandboxed and to route WebRTC-related UDP and TCP packets using the NetworkProcess. This work landed in https://commits.webkit.org/303623@main. The GNOME SDK should also soon ship librice (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/merge_requests/4146). Thanks to all the folks involved!
