  Chrome is working on a document-request-api to help automate access to drivers licenses & other identity documents. :/

  Yeah I absolutely hate it but yeah. Every time we feel sad & bad about the world, every time the Fear Uncertainty & Doubt is given places in our hearts, it makes us weak & susceptible. That's the premise of The Shock Doctrine & oh how sadly it's true.

  The web has two horrific fronts right now on this. Google is creating two specs, one to only let Attested devices through, and one to transmit government ID. So only users on devices they can't control, with id by government, can participate at all. This is what fear is bringing us to. People will welcome this hell. The end of the War Against General Purpose Computing will come with applause, from those who have been sold the message to be afraid.

  But also... we have the saints of human history, https://archive.org, ticking along doing the good deeds. The more rag-tag ArchiveTeam folks. They keep saying it's not for archiving, but I really hope WebPackage / WebBundle specs take off, that we build a norm of take-away sites that we can retain. (Caveat: right now Chrome has zero interest in letting you use old snapshots, but I have zero faith this limited security totalitarianism will hold, given that Certificate Transparency lets us know that indeed this content did come from X site at Y time & had the right cert then.)

  In general, it's all the web, so it only sort of matters that the thing goes away. We need to update the maxim, "Cool URIs Dont Change." Sometimes the resources go away. But the URI remains. And we can spread backups, share the content, even when the hosts vanish, because the web is so cool like that.
