Monthly update on the FOSS "Ladybird" browser engine
Monthly update on the FOSS "Ladybird" browser engine
Update was from 3 days ago, I'm really hopeful ladybird could be a future browser option to help break the stranglehold chrome has over the market, while Mozilla is struggling to find meaningful direction.
It seems like an exciting project with monthly progress updates :) they keep chipping away at compatibility.
What about the anti lgbt stuff? Thoughts…?
I wasn't aware of anything along those lines, but reading through the whole thread of discussion was interesting.
Things seem ambiguous currently I'll have to keep an eye on that issue, I appreciate you mentioning it
Does engaging with known queerphobes count?

Thanks :) I agree it is ambiguous but still an odd choice.
It is important to remember that turning down a pull request does not make a person (or project) anti-LGBT.
Sadly, I have seen bullying and brigading from people who claim to be supporting inclusiveness, more than a few times. That behavior alone would be enough to sour me on them personally, and on any change they had submitted.
And, of course, there are other perfectly valid reasons to decline a PR as well.
Asking for changes we would like to see is fine. Demanding them is not. Resorting to character assassination when we don't get what we want is absolutely not.
You phrase that as if turning down a pull requests in general cannot be anti-LGBT, when they obviously can. I don’t think your link helps.
No one is trying to hurt their characters. Just stating how their actions appear.
Hey, quick question, what do you think of the lead developer of LadyBird calling Brendan Eich, known homophobe and CEO of Brave, "Senpai."
It's completely unrelated, right? He just doesn't know, right? I'm sure nobody ever tried telling him. Or maybe he's only capable of perceiving technical information, so the rest of Brendan's history never entered his head?
...Not at all, he's fully aware, and he regrets joining the people who spoke out against Brendan, something he only did to fit in. He should damn well know Eich is a homophobe if he's so smart, he just doesn't give a shit.
turning it down doesn't but raging over the idea and attacking the user does
The brigading wasn't from the same person who made the pull request, and happened three years later. The thread isn't even that toxic as far as GitHub threads can get.
It's not a great example of what you're talking about.
Can you elaborate on that?
The only thing I can find about that is an article from someone obviously transphobic and some reddit discussion about the article.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxDrama/comments/1ewj6cs/ladybird_web_browser_developer_attacked_by/
I wish i had evidence from a source less likely to ignore anything that goes against their bias. what's there plus the stuff that happened afterwards mentioned in the reddit thread makes it seem more like the developer is ignorant but eventually came around. but there could be a lot more i don't know about.
What are you talking about?
On a code comment the author wrote "he" somewhere, not sure if referring to a specific person or was used to generally refer to "people". It could be the author was referring to a trans woman or could be a cis man (haven't checked).
Somebody did a PR changing that to "they" and the author rejected it and said something along the lines of "not wanting to get political".
Then backlash started.
Not enough meat here for me to boycott the app really. YMMV
