Oh, yes! From the Iconfactory’s blog Kickstarting Project Tapestry:
Today we’re launching a Kickstarter campaign for Project Tapestry: A new iOS app that aims to gather your most important social media services, RSS feeds, and other sources into a single universal timeline. All updates and posts together in one place, in the order they’re created, with no algorithm deciding what you should see or when you should see it.
This part of Apple’s announcement is interesting. It means we soon might have the real Chrome browser, Firefox browser, etc. on iOS here in the EU. But no web developers outside the EU will be able to test their websites and web apps in these browsers on their devices. 🤷♂️
New frameworks and APIs for alternative browser engines — enabling developers to use browser engines, other than WebKit, for browser apps and apps with in-app browsing experiences.
EU really hurt Apple’s feelings. 😬 Announcing changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the EU:
The changes we’re announcing today comply with the Digital Markets Act’s requirements in the European Union, while helping to protect EU users from the unavoidable increased privacy and security threats this regulation brings.
…
That includes guidance to help EU users navigate complexities the DMA’s changes bring — including a less intuitive user experience — and best practices for approaching new risks associated with downloading apps and processing payments outside of the App Store.

Moscow has resurrected the mammoth, but someone must teach them how to be mammoths, or they are doomed to die out, again.
The late Dr. Damira Khismatullina, the world’s foremost expert in elephant behavior, is called in to help. While she was murdered a year ago, her digitized consciousness is uploaded into the brain of a mammoth.
Vad är det jag hör?! Ett helt nybakat avsnitt av podden Hej (resten av) internet! 🎙️ Sanna och jag tjötar om sökmotorn Kagi (som är rätt bra), rövhattar (som är mindre bra), ActivityPub-tillägg i Wordpress, personliga webbar i Japan samt annat smått & gott. Och så bjussar vi på länktips, förstås.

Family blogging! 👰🏻♀️ Sanna started a new series on her blog, reaching out to people with five questions about life (in Swedish). Exciting! Gabriella thinks about Celtic mythology, desserts are bouncing around in Amanda’s mind, and Carl-Mikael ponders the queer overlap between drag and wrestling.
This short update from Chuck made me smile today. Family blogging is the best! 🥰
Dad put up a new blog post about how we restored an old work bench!

You should stop what you’re doing right now, navigate to Lynn’s site, and start resizing your browser window. 🤯
The video shows a website with an illustration of a headphone-wearing character. When the window is resized, the illustration animates and the character starts walking down the street.
I just bloggeliblogged this year’s first post! 🎉 Check out the End of Year Hyperlink Dump for tantalizing links that will introduce you to lickable fungi and molds, a synth with a ferrofluid visualizer, two hundred and six things a punkist should know, URL poetry, and more. 👀
The New Year’s Eve cocktail has been in the works for 48 hours: a refreshing Cucumber Gimlet. 😋
Yesterday had everything for a perfect winter day, at least in my book. A sky that was mostly clear and blue, not too chilly at around −3 ℃, a short hike, and grilling sausages over an open fire with my bff. 🥰
Nu har nyordlistan 2023 anlänt. Jag gillar bubbelhoppa och tantparkour.
Bluesky now has public profiles and RSS feeds. 🦋 If you want to see what, for example, Neil Gaiman is up to, you can now do so without being on Bluesky yourself.
14-year-old me loved the original Jet Set Radio, and now there’s a new one in the making. 🛼 Also, Crazy Taxi. 🤯 Yay! SEGA reveal trailer. 🎮
