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).
Ladybird is gonna be awesome, you are overblowing things, it's an open source project chill out. Also sevro is not currently really being designed as a desktop web browser. Its a web engine for light weight embedded applications. Ladybird is currently the only in development webbrowser that is primarily designed with desktop main browser use as its intended use.
And I know you aren't a fan but in the next 5 years pretty much every piece of software you touch will have code from an LLM in it, so get over it or stop using software.
I don't think it's overblowing things at all when I look at these tweets: https://nitter.net/awesomekling/status/1966456391146606806 https://nitter.net/awesomekling/status/1971287738268909576
That dev seems to be a real piece of shit.
Looking at those tweets I would say it is way overblown. People act like it’s the end of the world if there is a slight disagreement.
If you think rejecting hate speech is overblown, you might be part of the problem. It's not a "slight disagreement" when people question the fundamental right to live of another group.
I don’t see any hate speech and I tried looking for anyone questioning another groups right to live. Is the group thing connected to Charlie Kirk?
I did see some blog posts from David Heinemeier Hansson that could be seen as controversial, but that’s just it, controversial, people have different opinions on topics.
