OP here, still a bit shaky from this.

I've been living in Japan for quite a while now, but never in my life have I looked at my phone and seen a magnitude 9.9 earthquake warning.

Hi HN, I hosted this podcast episode of UIT INSIDE with Dan Abramov. UIT Inside is the Frontend Podcast of LY Corporation, the Japanese company behind the LINE Messenger and Yahoo! Japan.

Tried to make this a technical deep dive of AT Protocol geared towards web developers rather than a general Bluesky discussion. In the episode, we're walking through the protocol's layers stack by stack comparing it to a protocol we are all familiar with: HTTP. It’s an English episode, with English and Japanese transcripts on the page. Happy to answer questions about the episode or the transcript/production side.

"Yahoo! Japan" is a different company altogether from this Yahoo though. They were founded by the original Yahoo! and SoftBank. After the original Yahoo was mostly acquired by Verizon, the remains of it were spun into a company of its own "Altaba", which was later acquired by SoftBank and then made a part of Z-Holdings a joint venture of SoftBank and the Korean Naver Corporation. And just recently it was announced that the individual companies of Z-Holdings will be merged into one big company. The Japanese internet business is quite the rabbit hole! (Disclaimer, I work for LINE Corp, another subsidiary of Z-Holdings)

I built a "creative" website over the last few months. I had to jump through many hoops to get very standard css behavior to work on safari. Transform scale for example leads to text being rendered pixelated while transformZ is not 0. Firefox and Chrome don't have this bug, which has been around for years on Safari. Last time I checked, CSS was not privacy invasive.

Oh wow, the comments on here really go into the opposite direction of what I was expecting. How come people fear chrome becoming the only option for browsing, but at the same time don't agree that apple should be incentivised to better safari? I mean, who if not Apple has the ressources to compete with google on the browser front.

Thank you for saying this. I live in Japan too and I literally cringe whenever I see something Japan related on here. It's mostly generalizations infused with orientalism and nihonjinron.
