It's the one with a dev that thinks that replacing "he" by "they" is political propaganda?
Yeah, no thanks.
Can you provide some context?
This Mastodon post discusses it and has links to the PRs: https://ruby.social/@denis/112718132053579597
This one for SerenityOS shows Kling's response to a very minor and neutral change.
Thanks for the heads up. Not worth the time
Chill. Read the cited sources. It's someone asking the community to not use the github forum for discussing the completely irrelevant topic. It's not a fucking open forum it's for developers to use as a resource. I don't care if the person was giving out a $1,000,000 to anyone that commented, find an appropriate place to post your comments. I saw nothing against the topic itself but a bunch of angry responses. I mean if you read and are like na fuck that dude than 100% that's your take but that's the thing, its YOUR take. I hate seeing people so quick to draw the fuck this or fuck that card from absolutely zero rhetoric than what an anonymous internet comment said.
for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this "hysteria" over he/she/they is ridiculous!

That's enough brigading for today
What the fuck have to do one thing with another. You people are so fucked up . You make drama from anything imaginable
Kling is the one "making drama"
Do you think there are no assholes working for google or mozilla? Assholes are everywhere. And fuck cancel culture.
Edit: I stand by what I said, you can downvote me all you want. It doesn’t matter to me one bit.
people can have different views. you might not like them but it's their views, not yours
people can have different views. you might not like them but it’s their views, not yours
Yes, they can. And I can also view their views with disdain... or even horror and choose not to support their efforts, whatever they may be.
What you are really saying here is that you to some degree don't disagree with Kling and so it's this particular view you find acceptable to let pass. If it were something like "people should be fine eating small children" you might react differently.
Is this browser private? Does it implement proper sandboxing and have any methods of anti-fingerprinting? I hope it eventually see the implementation of a robust content blocker. What makes this related to privacy and not instead just open source. While it is nice to see an independent web engine, if there is no method of anti-fingerprinting, the privacy of this browser is severely limited.
oh yeah also js isn't very usable yet so that improves privacy
To be fair, it is quite possible to fingerprint you pretty well without any JS at all, both inside and outside of html/css.
And disabling javascript is certainly something that not many people do, so already that makes you stand out even more.
Lol, but also JS being volatile in the current browser makes it easier to fingerprint.
What makes this related to privacy and not instead just open source.
because it's not affected by google's anti-privacy decisions?
That doesn't make it private. Privacy on the modern web requires anti-fingerprinting, otherwise any website with tracking scripts can easily start creating a shadow profile for you.
Edit:
What I mean is it isn't a browser anyone who cares about their privacy should use (yet or every depending on development). Not close to ready yet. OP didnt put any context either for why they posted it.
63.3K commits from 1K+ contributors and still pre-alpha, it's amazing what a nightmare web browsers have become!
Independent but then their coms are purely proprietary, US-based sludge. If you think folks should be contributing to your project, you should be using technology where you can where you & your contributors can patch & make better too. There is no good reason to be limited to only Microsoft Github & Discord.
Don’t get it wrong: I have followed for years & want the project to succeed, but this reliance on corporations & not giving your users a private option where they can control their data needs to stop. Normies have ignorance excuse but software makers do not as they generally know better about how these tech firms operate.
servo.org: am I a joke to you?
Dillo sobs lonely.
literally never heard of it.
Ambitious.
That could be great! Alternative to firefox!
At least might help compete with Firefox to improve Foss browsers.
Languages: C++
Yeah, hard pass on looking at that code base.
From their website:
Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?
Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.
However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.
