WHATWG issue:
Remember back when websites having badges that they conform to #HTML standards was cool? Back in the good old days of #W3C and #OpenStandards?
These days, I'm ashamed of using HTML: the standard that used to mean interoperability, and now is entirely controlled by #GAFAM and used to pursue their own malicious interests instead. Today, the right kind of banner is to show a middle finger to #WHATWG.
Meeting at Google: “We haven’t fucked up the Web enough with our AMP shit, but the AI shit is doing pretty good work. What about if we also fuck up RSS?”
What an utterly shit company. I hope the AI hype destroys them.
(Just in case you think they're "just asking questions", they already opened a removal tracker before listening to replies: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/435623334)
