Chris DiBona: “Is it too late for Google? I really hope not. I truly hope my former employer can find themselves, that they can fight for the open web and crawl the walled gardens as if their future depends on it. Because, well, it does.” https://cdibona.substack.com/p/my-eulogy-for-the-open-web-and-old?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true#footnote-anchor-9-148858911 #OpenWeb #Google

And yes, I wish he hadn’t written this post on Substack, but who am I to judge him.

@ricmac It isn’t a good look given the content of his article.

@rlounsbury I’ve almost given up on being the “practice what you preach” guy…there are so many “open source advocates” still on X, loads of open web advocates on Substack, etc. It is ridiculous, but so is the world these days.

@ricmac This is true. I mean at the end of the day at least the advocating is good. I won't discount that because it comes from a platform that is anti-open web.
I don't entirely have a foot to stand on here as a pro-open source and open web minded person but uses Chrome and ChromeOS. So I'll let my own hypocrisy be known here as well!

@rlounsbury It was definitely a good article and he has done a lot for the web. I am a Chrome user too, so no Mr Perfect either
