Replying to @KingstonTime

Replying to @KingstonTime

Thanks!

Replying to @yoavweiss

Hahahaha. Yeah, they have conferences and the such over there :)

Replying to @null and @_paulverbeek

Replying to @KingstonTime

Replying to @domenic

I definitely will :)

Replying to @null and @tolfsen

Thanks a lot!

Replying to @stevefaulkner

I will finish the split before leaving. After that, if it isn’t picked up it’s that there isn’t interest anyway, right?

Replying to @stevefaulkner

Yeah me too! But it’s not the end of the road my friend!

Replying to @null and @amyvdh

Replying to @gbaudusseau

Yes, I’m sad to leave too, but the new project is very exciting. We’re moving to NYC!

Replying to @torgo and @briankardell

Awwwwww. We’ll still be in touch! And NYC is nice, come see us there! @yoavweiss

Replying to @bertails

Thanks :) Shame you’re no longer there!

Replying to @KingstonTime

Largely unrelated :)

Replying to @Geonormal and @complejidadyec

Either that, or if you draw enough circles you can describe any logo ;-)

Replying to @KingstonTime

That depends largely on what the expected future for *.webplatform.org is — but it’s an option @briankardell @yoavweiss

Replying to @jaffathecake

It’s unclear to me why no one makes the antitrust case. It’s a blatant violation, so much worse that what MS got beat up for.

Replying to @jaffathecake

I don’t think that holds. Anticompetitive behaviour + consumer-hurting behaviour (by slowing down the Web) is IMHO enough.

Replying to @jaffathecake

Obviously, caveats as to my qualifications as a lawyer are available in select areas.

Replying to @tabatkins

I think that's fallacious, though. The impact is real. @jaffathecake

Replying to @bortzmeyer

No. I know @github uses it to trigger text copy for instance. There are a few technical reasons left.

Replying to @pygillier

That’s mostly true for older browsers, but essentially it’s a solved problem.

Replying to @svgeesus

I don’t think so, most of the remaining uses don’t even paint stuff on screen. E.g. text copy.

Replying to @svgeesus

That one has a replacement that’s been in the pipeline forever; it could be a good candidate for priority implementation.
