It's the one with a dev that thinks that replacing "he" by "they" is political propaganda?
Yeah, no thanks.
Thanks for the heads up. Not worth the time
Chill. Read the cited sources. It's someone asking the community to not use the github forum for discussing the completely irrelevant topic. It's not a fucking open forum it's for developers to use as a resource. I don't care if the person was giving out a $1,000,000 to anyone that commented, find an appropriate place to post your comments. I saw nothing against the topic itself but a bunch of angry responses. I mean if you read and are like na fuck that dude than 100% that's your take but that's the thing, its YOUR take. I hate seeing people so quick to draw the fuck this or fuck that card from absolutely zero rhetoric than what an anonymous internet comment said.
maybe I'm not seeing where the smoking gun is, here. I see a guy saying something akin to "can we not do this here in the github please"
and then I see a bunch of people blowing up and yelling about "dehumanization" over it.
...why is this such a huge deal exactly?
Changing "he" to "they" isn't a political change, or shouldn't be if you're not a fucking shithead
Maybe I’m dumb, but I completely do not understand what the dev did to upset people.
I read the thread and I’m confused about it.
People get upset over anything tbh
Can you provide some context?

This one for SerenityOS shows Kling's response to a very minor and neutral change.
What the fuck have to do one thing with another. You people are so fucked up . You make drama from anything imaginable
Kling is the one "making drama"
for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this "hysteria" over he/she/they is ridiculous!
As someone who speaks a language with gendered pronouns but no neutral option, this is very awkward to deal with.
yes, it's awkward for the "individual" who is longing for reliable expression
it also seems to be awkward for people who can't figure out the changes in the language they think as their own. They are irritated by their "disfigured" reflection
it's awkward for officials who need to make decisions (positive or negative) about the use of "inclusive" language
we give shape to languages and languages shape us
English could initially have neutral pronouns and people would be obliged to find other reasons to hate each other 🤷
Well on the contrary you should understand it more. A gendered pronoun carries an idea of gender, and having a genderless pronoun frees the sentence of this gender assumption. Nothing very hard to understand.
that's what i thought i meant but thanks for the lesson I've never needed
even your comment is, for me, coming from that ridiculous tension
Do you think there are no assholes working for google or mozilla? Assholes are everywhere. And fuck cancel culture.
Edit: I stand by what I said, you can downvote me all you want. It doesn’t matter to me one bit.
Cancel culture, this far-right myth that fascists love so much. You forgot to continue and talk about freedom of speech and how you are a centrist.
people can have different views. you might not like them but it's their views, not yours
And it's my view that we are free to dunk on people with bad views.
i don't get why sane people would rather a person with good opinions over a free independent web browser, the latter just seems so much more valuable to me.
Did the OP say they couldn't have different views? You must have replied to the wrong comment.
isn't that what they implied?
I'm fine with solumbran seeing the dev's opinions as "wrong", I just find how they base their whole view of the project on that single small disagreement makes them seem like a shortsighted dumbass
Oh that's not at all what they implied. They implied you shouldn't use the project based on the author's opinions. That's very different from implying the author isn't entitled to their opinions.
Boycotting the software doesn't infringe on the author's rights to have a shitty opinion. It's called consequences for being an asshole.
people can have different views. you might not like them but it’s their views, not yours
Yes, they can. And I can also view their views with disdain... or even horror and choose not to support their efforts, whatever they may be.
What you are really saying here is that you to some degree don't disagree with Kling and so it's this particular view you find acceptable to let pass. If it were something like "people should be fine eating small children" you might react differently.
Is this browser private? Does it implement proper sandboxing and have any methods of anti-fingerprinting? I hope it eventually see the implementation of a robust content blocker. What makes this related to privacy and not instead just open source. While it is nice to see an independent web engine, if there is no method of anti-fingerprinting, the privacy of this browser is severely limited.

because it's not affected by google's anti-privacy decisions?
63.3K commits from 1K+ contributors and still pre-alpha, it's amazing what a nightmare web browsers have become!
Independent but then their coms are purely proprietary, US-based sludge. If you think folks should be contributing to your project, you should be using technology where you can where you & your contributors can patch & make better too. There is no good reason to be limited to only Microsoft Github & Discord.
Don’t get it wrong: I have followed for years & want the project to succeed, but this reliance on corporations & not giving your users a private option where they can control their data needs to stop. Normies have ignorance excuse but software makers do not as they generally know better about how these tech firms operate.
Ambitious.

Yeah, hard pass on looking at that code base.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
