X starts experimenting with a $1 per year fee for new users
From https://webmonetization.org/ :
> Web Monetization provides an open, native, efficient, and automatic way to compensate creators, pay for content, and support crucial web infrastructure.
> Why Now?: Until recently, there hasn't been an open, neutral and cost-efficient protocol for transferring money. Interledger provides a simple, interoperable, and currency-agnostic method for the transfer of small amounts of money.
> Web Monetization is being proposed as a W3C standard at the Web Platform Incubator Community Group.
W3C Interledger Protocol works with any type of ledger.

W3C Web Monetization: https://webmonetization.org/ :
> The Web Monetization API allows websites to automatically and passively receive payments from Web Monetization-enabled visitors.
From https://interledger.org/faq/ :
> Web Monetization is being proposed as a W3C standard. Using the Interledger Protocol, the Web Monetization proposed standard aims to make it easier for web creators to generate income from their work without relying on advertising, site-by-site subscriptions or tracking models.
Interledger was contributed to W3C and has undergone significant major revision. FWIU, W3C Interledger Protocol is a W3C spec but by producing IETF-style numbered RFCs, their process differs slightyl from the W3C WG Working Group model (with a page, a mailing list; and one or more git Repositories with Issues: github,com/orgname, github,com/orgname/readme, github,com/orgname/orgname.github.io ).

Towards Web Monetization
It's been a couple years since Dev.to hosted the Grant for the Web hackathon, a month-long sprint to develop innovative projects with Web Monetization. Web Monetization is a proposed JavaScript API that allows browsers to create payment streams directly to websites, allowing for micropayments and unlocking exclusive content on a pay-per-use basis. It's still being incubated at the Web Incubator Community Group, but it's an active project and an exciting technology.

How to support authors’ donations to Wiki? Donate to them elsewhere.
To support the open content creators there could be a sister site where authors can post or list the link to their openly-licensed content listed with donations or web monetization to give to Wiki. I put an offer on the Reward board in line with Safe Harbor#2_important_topics) paid-article policies. The upcoming grants of the 2030 Movement Strategy go toward sustainability, accessibility, and bridging content gaps. There are risks in introducing monetization. I see it as worthwhile to experiment with as there might be extensive potential benefits. What are your thoughts?

Building Payment systems for the World at Hackathons
To enable more developers to build open, transparent, and impactful payment systems for the world, opportunities for rapid prototyping and an enabling environment for rapid prototyping are key. That is why Coil will be a many Hackathons this year. In partnership with Major League Hacking (MLH), Coil will support developers to brainstorm and build payment solutions that connect existing and future rails so that no one is left behind, regardless of their location. Developers participating at 30+ MLH Weekend Hackathons will have an opportunity to build with Interledger, Rafiki, and Web Monetization. They will also get mentorship from developers at Coil, Interledger, and the broader Interledger, Web Monetization, and Grant for the Web communities.

Facebook blames Apple after a historically bad quarter, saying iPhone privacy changes will cost it $10 billion
Check https://webmonetization.org that's actually a perfectly fine solution. You like something and want to support people who work hard to make it? Why not pay them? Doesn't sound crazy to me.

Google Chrome pushes browser history-based ad targeting
Mozilla used to work on it: https://github.com/mozilla/positron
Currently I'm guessing https://tauri.app/ would be the easiest way to get away from electron.

One meme from my collection
They made an Electron-compatible replacement, Positron, discontinued.
- Firefox should have a webview
-
What if Discord changed their Desktop app to use Firefox browsing engine instead of chromium?
Replacing Electron and rebuilding Discord from the ground-up would be quite the undertaking. What framework would you use? Firefox has tried to make an Electron-like framework in the past with Positron, but it has since been discontinued.

Is there a way to build desktop apps using Firefox engine?

How do you think Mozilla can better optimize Firefox (and Gecko)?
That way: * other browsers can base their engine on Firefox's * it's possible to make nodejs applications based on Gecko rather than Blink (i think it was called Positron) * other company can join and help them having an engine that is truely free and open source, where everybody can contribute and assure that the web standard is respected

Yeah, totally. Mozilla started something that would do just that, but it looks like it's been abandoned for a while. https://github.com/mozilla/positron Not sure if anyone's made a fork that's being maintained.

day 1 : so far so good
It’s been discontinued github/mozilla/positron
