#DigitalSovereignity needs #StructuralPower

"Who enforces digital standards such as those that come from the #IETF or the #W3C?
In a few cases, it is state power (e.g. accessibility in some jurisdictions) but that's rare. In some other cases, it's market discipline… But most of the important areas of the #digitalsphere have stopped being open, competitive markets over a decade ago so that the market no longer has a credible disciplining function to enforce #standards. What matters is who has the #structuralpower to deploy the standards they want to see and avoid those they dislike."

Robin BerjonDigital SovereigntyDigital sovereignty has a bad reputation. In internet governance circles, sovereignty is considered awkward enough to be referred to by as the "s-word." It is often associated with misguided attempts at returning to the era of national champions, like building a French search engine or a European Google, or worse with the eternal boogeyman that is the "splinternet." It doesn't have to be this way!

(7/7) In short, we say #WebSocial instead of the #Fediverse to truly unlock the potential of what it can be, and that is a communication system built on top of established, decentralized technology, under the umbrella of none other than #W3C.

By unpoliticizing the word, we've basically given it verbage and actual purpose. Are you going to post content on #WebSocial with #ActivityPub? How will you do it? Single user? Multi user? Actual platform?

Giving creators that power can foster magic.

Since 2009, I've been contributing to open web tools & standards, with a focus on CSS and related platform features at the W3C. But that work takes resources, making it hard for independent contributors like us @OddBird to stay involved.

We need support. If you appreciate what we're doing, you (or your company) can sponsor our work directly:

Let's keep building an open web for everyone.

opencollective.comOddBird Open Source - Open CollectiveWe love contributing to the languages & tools developers rely on. Our focus is Popover & Anchor Positioning polyfills, and CSS specifications for functions, mixins, and responsive typography. Help us keep that work sustainable and focused on your needs!

#iStatMenu で有名な #bjango#Pinwheel というアプリ良さそう。

bjango.com/mac/pinwheel/

カラートークンみたいなものを生成・管理することができるんだけど、色の濃淡をイージングパスみたいなグラフィカルな UI で作成できて、コントラストのアクセシビリティチェックもできる(これができる単体アプリ探してた)

あと、 #W3C のコミュニティーグループがドラフトを検討してるデザイントークンのオープンなフォーマット #DesignTokensJSON のインポート・エクスポートにも対応してる。

1/2 The Spatio-Temporal Data on the Web Working Group (#SDWWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium (#W3C) was recently re-chartered. The next two years I will be co-chairing this group with Rob Atkinson (#OGC).

There is a great deal brewing up in the #GeoSemantics space, to name just a few:
- #SOSA 2.0
- #GeoDCAT
- #WebVMW
- An #Ontology for Coordinate Reference Systems (#CRS)
- A #3D extension for #GeoSPARQL

Other than that.. I started calling current AS/AP fedi the "as soon as possible" fediverse, where necessarily early app implementations served as the de-facto reference implementations for the #W3C #ActivityStreams and #ActivityPub open standards.

At serious cost: Ever increasing #ProtocolDecay and subsequent #WhackaMoleAdoption i.e. retaining app-by-app interop pipes against moving release targets.

When is Video domain getting standardized? That's my question.

With any luck, we now have weekly activity reports from Github to the public-swicg mailing list, as to keep everyone in the loop on the activity on ActivityPub and ActivityStreams:

There's some sort of delay happening with the test runs of this email, but hopefully they'll show up soon. This should help increase visibility into what's happening.
