It’s basically like a gamejam but instead of making a game in one weekend you have to build a web browser.

Here’s the github page: https://github.com/BrowserJam/browserjam

Oh… wow. What a bunch of fucking idiots. People have such an irrational hatred towards non-binary people that they would like to change the usage of they/them in the English language entirely. Substituting he for they in a note about no specific person is just using the language properly.

Yeah, the whole reaction to it is just weird and shows the actual issue here. I don't care too much about default gendering in language, because lots of people just gender based on their own gender by default out of habit, without any ill intention. In this case they could've just acknowledged it and changed it to a neutral phrasing for the next release, and no one would've even bat an eye. At that point it didn't even had anything to do with a non binary spectrum, but simply to acknowledge that not just men use the software. But immediately shutting them up and crying about politics really just lays out their agenda.

“Let’s not assume people using this are male”

“This is not a place for politics”

Wh… wha… what? Do they not even believe in more than one gender?

I guess only brainwashed liberals believe in the existence of women.

I don't think they ever apologized.

you would think it would take less time to make the change than to justify your actions and create bad will towards the project

Ladybird will save us all.

It and Servo are probably the two most exciting projects in open-source right now.

What’s Servo and why does it excite you?

Web rendering engine written in Rust

It's just another from-scratch browser in development. It's been seeing a lot of progress lately. Not as much as Ladybird but it's still making waves.

I think servo got a bit more recognition during the Kling/ladybird "drama"
