Ladybird is pretty much dead to me, firstly because the dev has some really bad right wing vibes (he said gender inclusive language is too political for his docs and retweeted a Nazi on Twitter). And secondly because the started using AI to move the code to Rust to make it more secure, which is insane if you know anything about AI or security.
My current hope is in servo, because they have much more capable maintainers and the project seems to make some good progress. Also they have daily builds on their website for every operating system, so you can already try it out easily (but don’t expect everything to work right now, they still need some time).
The Democrats are fully complicit in this war though. Basically nobody except for Mamdani has mortally condemned it.
The real lesson here should be, that the American political system needs to be completely overhauled for there to be real change.
I think they have their own action system (codeberg.org/actions/meta), but I’ve never tried it. Maybe you can look into that?
My point about Microsoft was mainly because AI is harmful and often used in a hostile way against open source. Also the fact that Microsoft tries to own the whole free software ecosystem.
