do you like browsing the web in the year of our lord 2024? Lisa Melton started the WebKit project. whether you use a browser in the WebKit lineage or a browser using an engine that competes with WebKit, you owe what you're looking at this very moment to a trans woman.

"knowing how to code is male coded so trans women shouldn't do it" oh so we're doing woke misogyny and transphobia now

So, Chrome's "web standard" Prompt API:

Mozilla: Opposed
WebKit: Opposed
Microsoft: Several concerns
W3C TAG: Several concerns
Developers: Mostly negative

Chrome: Ships anyway.

A sad time for web standards. But, I guess someone at Google will get promoted, so 'every cloud…'

@jensimmons.bsky.social I was wondering if there is any development regarding -webkit-font-smoothing? Is it still something that WebKit is looking to standardise or remove?
