Goddammit. I was so excited about the #Ladybird Browser project.

Turns out project lead Andreas Kling has a lot of braindead public takes about pronouns, Charlie Kirk, and white replacement in tech 🤢

I'm not touching that anymore until he's replaced and they put in place a proper contribution policy and code of conduct.

That leaves us with @servo and Flow Browser as alternatives to Chrome and Firefox. (Anyone have any damning news on those? 😨 )

Thanks to @sir for pointing this out.

@teun @servo @sir that's not entirely a new thing, there were hints some time earlier, when (I think mostly) he claimed, ladybird wants to stay away from politics (and we all know what that usually implies)

@gim @servo @sir

I had no idea, but I agree that such a statement usually spells bad news. Such a shame.

Ladybird and the Controversy over Inclusivity

What people were upset about, why it blew up, and why some people are still leery of the project to this day.
