    What’s going on? I’ve seen this new browser engine referenced recently a decent bit but I have no info beyond ‘it’s new and exists’.

      the lead dev is a freeze peach absolutist. he’s said some ignorant shit about trans people and when people said “hey, let’s adjust this language” he was like “let’s not get political”

        Is this really the hill you want to die on and rather have a Chromium monopoly?

          Yes, basic respect for people is far more important than any web browser

          the ladybird dev wants to work with people who want me dead. so. yeah, fuck him. mozilla ain’t great, but they’re the least dangerous engine builders right now. servo would be a better engine for us to rally around, but everyone would rather talk about the less mature, more fascist accepting, project.

          nazis are bad. that’s the hill i’m willing to die on. this is bigger than a browser engine.

            What the fuck? Do you have a source for this?

              the whole entire conversation about pronouns was exactly a conversation about this. the request to change to more inclusive pronouns was a request that he make the project more inclusive to people like us, the queer community, who have been getting pushed out of open source ever since brandon eich was named ceo of mozilla. andreas kling’s response was that we were being too sensitive and he didn’t want to scare of contributors by getting too political. the problem is that in saying that, he’s saying he finds one set of contributions and politics acceptable, and another set not.

              the same goes for his responses to people asking him to leave twitter. he says he would rather stay on twitter because mastodon is too political. and there it is again. twitter, at the time of the conversation, was already becoming a nazi cesspool that people were leaving en masse, but because his tweets got more engagement there than on mastodon, he stuck with twitter.

              i’ll gather some links for you after work, but i’m just… a little surprised you were familiar enough with the situation to know it happened and not familiar enough to know the context for why it mattered

            Yes, and that’s precisely why we need Ladybird, no matter what pronouns it uses for users.

            I’d say that Chromium has a monopoly thanks to Mozilla.

                i think he’s referring to mozilla accepting money from google to let google be the default search engine for over 20 years, which 5 years into that deal, google started using any search made through not chrome to pipeline people to chrome

                No. Research for yourself or just blame Google and be happy.

                  Considering I have no fucking idea where to even start with what youre referring to, I think I’ll just be happy instead of entertaining an asshole. Blocked.
