Ha, you want choice in how your OS functions?
Here, have another bing toolbar for your settings app.

I’d pay for your bodily fluid any day ;)

I have nothing personal against him, but I can’t watch his videos because the way he speaks is too distracting.

Distrusting services from a country due to their government is not xenophobia.
It’s the same as avoiding chinese services because of their national policies.

I’d still happily welcome american and chinese people into my country.

Non-US is a start for now though, because they currently have the most control over the internet.
Plus the US government is currently exceptionally hostile to those who aren’t US citizens, so I have little reason to trust that they won’t abuse me or my data.

Ah yes, because you absolutely must hate and dehumanise everyone who shares a different belief to you. You aren’t allowed to speak to or be friendly to anyone who has shared shitty views in the past, because how else could we possibly know that you don’t share 100% of their opinions?

You’re free to limit your communication to only those who share your views, if that’s what you find comfortable. But there can be many mutually-benefical reasons to befriend those who you dislike.

Anyway, I’m about done with this conversation, as I don’t believe either of us will come out of it with a different view.

Feel free to get the last word in if that helps you sleep easier. Seeing that you replied to a comment that’s almost a week old, I wouldn’t be surprised if you do.

It’s not a viral copyleft license, so you’re free to use the source code without giving anything back.

This has pros and cons over something like GPL, but people like to circlejerk GPL and pretend it’s always the best option 100% of the time.
For situations where you have to sign an NDA and are unable to release source code (eg; console game dev), MIT and BSD licensed projects are a godsend.

Sure. Lets just ignore ladybird/serenity and the positive impact Andreas is making because he didn’t accept a commit that changed a pronoun for a system account on the operating system he wrote from a ‘he’ to a ‘they’.

And lets ignore that it’s been changed since. People ‘never’ change, so lets fuck up their entire career and public image for life.

Yeah no thanks.

If you think that comment outweighs all the positive impacts Andreas is making, that’s your prerogative. I’m not interested in holding everyone up to such high expectations.

If that makes me a simp in your eyes, so be it.

If you read the commit, you would see it was referring to a built-in non-human account.
In no way did he assume the gender of any people, so who cares if he referred to a built-in account of his operaring system as ‘he’ instead of ‘they’?
A more accurate description would have been ‘it’.

As somebody who also identifies as LGBT, I don’t want or need your permission to feel anything.
I don’t feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.

The guy literally created javascript. It shouldn’t be a surprise that somebody who’s developing a web browser holds some amount of respect for him.

We could argue about this all day, but neither of us are Andreas, so we shouldn’t be assuming his beliefs based on a few interactions on social media.

None of this should get in the way of the web browser’s success anyway, because it’s not relevant to the project.

Game consoles tend to have a webkit-based browser (ps3/4/5/vita, wiiu/3ds/switch).
All iOS browsers are webkit-based, due to apple’s restrictions.

What cheering?
Are you trying to convince me that making a neutral meme about a shitty person’s success is equatable to supporting/being a nazi?

So there’s no issue with Andreas, just some people he’s interacted with before?

It’s great to hear he doesn’t partake in dehumanising others for their past behaviour/statements :)

It’s actually a comment on the performance loss incurred from a likely failed branch prediction.

The toilet brush next to it makes me more uncomfortable.

It’s a boy!

Yes. It’s clearly red.

The government could get google to remotely install a system app that reads your encryption keys.
But it’s not like they’d do that….

Oh, what’s this? A new closed source app was just automatically installed on my phone.
“Android System Key Verifier”. Huh, I wonder what it does?
