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.

      Someone made a PR to refer to users in documentation as “they” instead of “he”. The lead maintainer rejected it saying “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.” and then added a part against personal politics in the code of conduct. One brigade attracted for good reason later, another maintainer quietly merged the PR. It’s very weird, but not anything too serious IMO.

        Definitely won’t be using ladybird then. If someone hates trans folks and just women in general enough that they literally see using inclusive language to refer to theoretical users as politics I don’t see any reason to do anything to elevate their work.

          An absolutely strange hill to die on, and may be an indicator of a bigger hissy fit in the future.

          Since their first language is German, it might be that they think that they/them is like how it is in German, never used since it’s gendered language, and definitely political in the sense that it’s just wierd to see and making a statement of you use it.
