Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, backed by a non-profit.

Finally, another web engine is being developed to compete with Chromium and Firefox (Gecko), and they’re also working on a browser that will use it.

Here’s the maintainer talking about the current state of the project, and a demo of the current functionality

    Not really an example for transphobia, but rejecting gender-neutral language in documentation is a red flag.

      This was resolved and the PR was merged

        No, it wasn’t. You might say that the issue was sidestepped, because it says “it”, rather than “they”, now.

        I guess it was an overreaction by mastodon, though. Even if I understand the initial criticism.

          ‘It’ is gender neutral so it was resolved

            You claimed the PR was merged.

              A PR fixing all those issues was merged.

              They used “they” when referring to a person, and “it” when referring to a process (the author used “he” when referring to a process calling another process, when he should have used “it.”)

                But not the PR.

                  Does it matter? It’s the same outcome either way

                    It doesn’t really address the core of the issue. Also: you said something wrong and ri corrected you, while acknowledging that the text was gender neutral now. What’s the big deal?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
