I was so excited for Ladybird, right up until I found out the project lead and main developer, Andreas Kling, is scared of pronouns.
Again, I’m aware some folks think this is annoying, but if you’re the kind of user who shuns Brave because the CEO does stupid shit, Ladybird probably isn’t the way to go either. Not for the moment, at least. People deserve the right to make informed decisions, so I’ll keep sharing this, and I encourage others to do the same when relevant, but don’t harass anyone, please.
If you don’t care about any of this, it’s a very interesting project. I just can’t say I approve.
Lunduke is not a credible source. He’s inconsistent and has misled people countless times. I’ll still check it out and respond, but will also link other resources.
While I do agree, he has sourced and linked all statements
Edit: ._. What does any of that have to do with Andreas, ladybird or Serenity.
I do not care if you have some sort of hate for the blogger, all the statements made in the article are sourced. You’re acting like the blogger is attacking you specifically or something.
Andreas said it simple (While in different words). What does your sex have to do with the project? Absolutely nothing.
all the statements made in the article are sourced.
If only his sources matter, link those instead. Bringing in Lunduke’s article means bringing in his views. That’s not some special Lunduke-hate-boner property, if anyone linked an Israeli news website in a thread about Gaza, I’d call that ridiculous too. Articles reflect their authors, and you happened to pick one of the worst authors in tech.
You’re acting like the blogger is attacking you specifically or something.
Because Lunduke’s ideas can cause real damage to people’s lives, and I’m tired of seeing them. Again, I’m sorry if I come across as affronted—this genuinely, deeply frustrates me. And it’s hard to hold that down.
I don’t blame you. I don’t know how you found the article, or how you read it. But please reconsider sharing Lunduke’s stuff. The man’s one step away from conspiracy theorist, or hell, maybe he counts as one already.

“In different words” is doing a lot of work, there. But that’s a great point you made, sex has nothing to do with the project. So why did he reject a simple change which only made sex even less relevant?
And I ask again: which other side is Lunduke representing that you felt was important to include?
Forcing all pronouns to male is injecting politics into it, and to turn around and say “dont inject politics into it” is ridiculous. The dev is a fucking idiot, as is whoever wrote that garbage.

Thank you for suggesting we not harass anyone. That is a lot better than I have seen elsewhere related to this.
Annnnnd here’s the other side of the story. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5823666/ladybird-web-browser-developer-attacked-by-unhinged-dishonest-activists

Go ahead and read the current build instructions since the original commit is from 3 years ago. https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/BuildInstructions.md
Do you see the use of pronouns anywhere?

July, they are still pulling this shit today. Fuck off with your dishonest nonsense.
