I guess we need to keep ourselves busy with some docs, as that one works.

Yeah also noticed and got a little bit upset about this.. I mean publishing a website with broken links does not seems very smart nor makes very much sense to me..

That said if Hubris OS will be presented at a talk later today I guess things seems to be more clear to me.

Are kind of way very much looking forward to the talk and the presentation of the operating system btw.

The github links don't work, are the repositories still private?

I've been meaning to write almost exactly this blog post for a while now, glad that someone else did it.

Two things that I think are worth calling out:

1. In many ways Apple's anti-competitive behaviour on iOS/iPadOS is a blessing. It's one of the few things that keep Chromium's dominance in check. Of course, it's not great that Apple are stifling innovation like this, but consider the alternative: Chromium dominance on all platforms.

2. Why it's worth caring about this at all? So what if Chromium is the only engine, it would make things easier for developers after all. To this I say, go read some of the discussions in standard bodies(for example about FLoC). Engineers from Apple and Mozilla are largely our bastion against Google's harmful proposals for the web. Pushback from Apple and Mozilla are only relevant as long as they have market share to speak of. The recent lawsuit against Google(summary[0]) by many US states should be extremely worrying to anyone that cares about the open web and it should make handing over any more control to Google a terrifying prospect.

Mozilla maintains a list[1] of their positions on various standard suggestions that is also a useful resource.

As someone who for quite awhile almost exclusively used Chromium based browsers and then coming back to only using but actually appreciating using Firefox I approve and very much agree with this message.
