@markgurman Depends if a competitor comes along with a cheaper/better product. The new price of Apple TV 4K is not competitive and they will lose sales.

@RupertLowe10 Don’t you have one single 20-something guy writing all of these policy documents? You need to expand the policy team.

Exporting to gif in 2026 is criminal. Why not animated WebP? Or animated AVIF? @skuwamoto

@myfonj @yisibl @ecbos_ Yea Firefox hasn’t implemented src="URL#param(…)" or background: url(…, param(…)) yet. Hopefully they’re coming soon.

The CSSWG changed the specced behaviour of the prefers-color-scheme media query — it should now reflect the color-scheme meta tag, meaning it can be controlled via JS. A huge improvement. github.com/w3c/csswg-draf… I wrote about how it currently works: olliewilliams.xyz/blog/dark-mode/

CSS needs an API to override a media query from JS. It's pretty painful to support both system and manual dark mode settings. Would be cool if you could do something like `CSS.overrideMedia('prefers-color-scheme', 'dark')`.

@MrHarryCole @patrickkmaguire In the USA, to run for President you have to be a "natural-born citizen" (an American citizen since birth). It isn't the most radical policy.

Firefox Nightly has implemented link parameters (behind a flag). This will make working with SVG far easier. codepen.io/editor/cssgrid… drafts.csswg.org/css-link-param… Chrome also working on it github.com/w3c/csswg-draf…

"A way to stream content into an element" was raised as a feature request in the HTML repo 10 years ago. It's now a thing. const response = await fetch('partial.html'); response.textStream() .pipeTo(div.streamHTML());
