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 has nothing to do with usage. It’s a restriction that’s imposed on the browser developers.

Mozilla themselves claim that this makes development harder for them.

By forcing developers to have the same limitations as their own browser, apple has made it difficult for competitors to gain an edge over safari.

Apple only allowed browsers on ios to use webkit, so they quite literally were holding back browser development.

This has only recently been changed, and it appears you can only use an alternate browser engine in the EU, so they are still holding back mobile web browser development for people in most countries.

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.

I’m ‘addicted’ to water. Can’t go a day without drinking multiple glasses of the stuff.

If something is impacting your life or the lives of others in a negative way, you should probably work on improving that.
If not, who cares?

“New password must differ from your current active password”

Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.

I personally try to avoid looking at ‘raw’ ratings when I’m trying to find new media.
Full reviews are better, because they’re able to express more nuance, and I’m able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.

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 :)

Do companies have any reason to invest in political parties, other than to sway policies?

It’s pretty clear there will always be a conflict of interest, so how the fuck is this allowed?

What a shitty beach

The proton CEO praised Donald Trump’s choice for who would lead the government’s antitrust division, and now most of Lemmy think they’re a Nazi company or something.

Just typical cancel culture bullshit. Where people choose to be outraged rather than attempting to understand a situation.

Ah fair enough, can’t argue with personal preference.
You sure you weren’t using waterfox classic though? That has a more dated UI than the current version.

I personally use librewolf anyway, but waterfox is still a pretty decent step up from Firefox, privacy-wise.

The national pyramid scheme

Zelenskyy was only interested in allowing the US to take their ‘rare earth’ if the US was also going to guarantee that it would help their defense against Russia’s advancements.

Trump claimed the deal had already been made, and tried to make the conference about how great he is and how bad the previous presidents were.

He praised questions that verbally sucked him off, and belittled those who asked genuine questions about the deal.

Then the two Americans bombarded Zelenskyy with questions and refused to allow him to answer.
They talked over him and got upset at him for not sucking their cocks the whole conference.

Zelenskyy was sent out because the babies in the Whitehouse couldn’t handle somebody who didn’t kiss their feet. He didn’t disagree with the deal, he just wanted more clarification and this was taken as a personal attack.

The world does not respect Trump or the US. We laugh at their incompetence and look forward to their ego getting checked.

This whole press conference made the US look like half-assed war profiteers, rather than the ‘freedom fighters’ they like to roleplay as.
