WebKit πŸ‘€

@kizu I bumped into the Firefox scroll snap laziness recently. Worked beautifully (even respecting smooth scrolling) until I touched the scroll bar. Once the scroll position was altered with an interaction Firefox ignored scroll snap changes.

Workaround was a scrollend listener to set the current position. πŸ™ƒ

Yet to figure out a way to make Chrome animate the scroll snap changes though.

Guess who's behind the sudden rush of age verification legislation?

In the US, #Meta is spending $26.3 Million to hire at least 86 Lobbyists from 40 lobbying firms, and lobbying in at least 45 states. It is confirmed that Meta wrote the Louisiana age verification bill.

In the EU, Meta is spending ten million euros annually on lobbying, retaining 18 lobbying firms.
