The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards.

I am looking forward to going to the @w3c 's #TPAC in Kobe Japan. I will be hosting a breakout group on #ARRM — Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping — November 12th, 16:15 JST w3.org/events/meetings/76eeff8…

Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM)

ARRM helps you assign responsibilities for digital accessibility to appropriate roles (UX designer, content creator, developer) early in projects.

Want Inkscape's Multi-page to work in web browsers (and other tools)?

Well my work today has been on moving our inkscape:page element to the SVG standard "view" element. Already supported in web browsers and hopefully supported someday in SVG viewers that use librsvg (are you interested @federicomena ?)

This will need testing and a migration for older data too. But I like more standards compliant files and less custom stuff in inkscape's svg.

I don't think getting consistency with SVG's filters is going to be a problem. None of the implementations for em and ex are consistent. Percent is broken in a couple too, including Inkscape.

@federicomena Let me know if you want the SVG test file.

1994… Debacle because of the Compuserve GIF format uncertainties regarding Unisys and LZW Patent enforcement… I remember trying to understand in Web agencies if we should convert our GIFs to JPEG.

That led in fine to the creation of PNG at W3C in 1996.

The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.

Who are the members of the W3C?

Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…

The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.

Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!

If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

But, hey, I might be wrong and the #W3C now fully believes in its new ethical web principles. In which case, they will no doubt take action and expel members that only exist because their business model relies on violating them.

#Google is fundamentally incompatible with the W3C’s ethical web principles and should be expelled from the W3C as it relies on violating section 2.5 (The web must…respect people’s privacy).

Also, §2.2 (The web should not cause harm to society).

Ditto #Facebook, etc.

It’s very interesting reading this and related threads on Web Authentication (“passkeys”).

The ability for people to use their created/associated key material to sign and encrypt their communication would be a huge boon for decentralised web applications. And yet, of course, the related W3C groups reject the use case. Because allowing people (instead of the corporations the W3C represents) to control their own identities is anathema to Big Tech.

Can the private keys be used for other cryptographic operations? · Issue #1595 · w3c/webauthn

For example, can they be used to sign and encrypt data the client passes? This goes beyond authentication, so it may be fair to consider it out of scope, given that "authn" is in the spec...

Handing control of our biometric identities to a handful of trillion-dollar American gatekeeper corporations isn’t the good news you might think it is.

(Don’t forget, the W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.)

In a non-corporate world, your “password” could be so much more… It could be, for example, a mnemonic for the key to a facet of your self that you (and you alone) own and control.

Apple, Microsoft, and Google are teaming up to eliminate passwords

Good news for the people still using "Password123!"
