Castlabs is now part of the DIF 🎉
The Decentralized Identity Foundation is doing the groundwork on how digital identity actually works, and we're glad to be in the room.
Because proving where content came from usually means proving who signed it 🔐

I'm strongly considering removing Widevine/DRM support from Polypane again. The company providing that, Castlabs, has switched to a much slower release cadence, making keeping up with Electron and Chromium in Polypane much harder.
Doesn't help that their latest release segfaults on all platforms.

We had a few starts and stalls around this (shipping it two months ago would have meant a less secure browser, which we didn't want to do)
But....it's ready! We managed to work with Castlabs to ship this without compromising other areas of security.
Coming to a production release near you soon!

We have Widevine DRM support in Polypane! Here's a screenshot of @netflix.com running in Polypane to prove it 😏
Yes, it's a black rectangle. The DRM works!
But trust me, I could see and hear Jamie Oliver. You can too, in the next full release.

Is DRM enough in the age of AI?
Yesterday, James joined the panel “DRM and the Modern Content Security Stack” to discuss how content security is evolving.
Short answer: DRM still matters, and C2PA is becoming more relevant as AI adoption continues to grow.
