The "Open Web" works only because the affordances are here.
As AI allows to easily create and consume content, these affordances for the open web have changed. For those who want to sell ads next to their content or entice people to subscribe, the rise of AI feels like betrayal.
Furthermore, on a technical level serving content to anyone who asks for it on a global scale might be a commodity service now -- and so very inexpensive to do, in some cases -- but it’s not free, and the costs add up at scale.
It's about control. As hyperbole, some what pixel-perfect control over the information is presented, used and its conditions, whereas some open access advocates want all information to be usable for anything without conditions. Both would be bad for the Open Web
Comme acutellement, 35 millions par an, 0, 50 ou 70. Il s'agit ici de gestion financière.
En revanche et ce serait plus intéressant:
- "One key problem that open source developers have been pointing out for years is public procurement. They often face major problems selling their products to public authorities because their processes are set up for readily available software packages. The paper calls on the EU to better align its procurement rules with open source. The personnel responsible for buying software should also be better educated on how open source software works – with the Commission setting a good example." -> Euractiv negotiates to use OVH btw
- Another idea is an EU legal form for open source organisations financed through donations. This legal form should be easy, the paper argues, and therefore accessible to developers.

For a software release, it is relevant to include what the software is doing.
I just have no idea what three quarters of these projects actually do. When you announce a new release, please give us (your adoring but slightly confused audience) just a tiny bit of context. What the software does, why the release is cool and what it requires to work.
It claims complying with the GDPR

Lessons from maintaining an open source tool:
- Simplicity is a feature
- Real users reveal problems
- open source is a marathon
Yet through all these changes, the need for efficient HTML delivery remains constant. That's perhaps the most interesting lesson: fundamental problems persist even as technologies evolve.
The small libraries will disappear. The one function util libraries can be generated by AI.
The open source model is kind of broken because og 6 points detailed in the post. The author retails then the example of Quiet UI by Cory Laviska
The guy launched Showelace, Web Awesome and Quiet UI.
Google uses AI to report security vulnerability.
They order a fix and they plan to release the vulnerability after 90 days.
FFmpeg is an open source project though. The project owes nothing to Google, and Google has no right to impose anything on the project. The company can largely finance or submit fixes.
So RSS won't be supported anymore and other formats too.
Only the web HTML + CSS + JS will remain and Chrome is pushing implementations at a faster pace that the other browsers can not . There is effectively an attempt to capture the web by Google.
I remember the library for XLST used in browsers is not maintained by the big corporations. Ah it's LibXML.
The depreciation notice: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/CxL4gYZeSJA/m/yNs4EsD5AQAJ
Ah yes, a maintainability thing "Chromium uses the libxslt library to process these transformations, and libxslt was unmaintained for ~6 months of 2025".
Usage of the JS XSLTProcessor API is fairly volatile, registering somewhere between 0.01% and 0.1% of page loads, averaging around 0.05% over time. These numbers are above the typical 0.001% deprecation threshold. Again, we feel that the increased potential for breakage is balanced by the reduced security risk to 100% of Chromium users.
It's for security reason? XSLT users hacked are 0. Where are the security vulnerability?
