    If you look at the kwebkitpart commits, it looks like it's been nothing but localization for years.

      If the latter is Safari, then WebKit-based browsers are available for Windows and Unix-likes too.

      Which are? Please list a few current ones that have reasonable backing and at least a mid-size community.

          I disagree with Lunduke videos, specailly when he tried to bork Rust as a bad language without knowing single shit of rust programming. But if he was left wing we weren't having this conversation. People from moderate right should be excluded? I'm not talking about Lunduke here, but In general.

          Exactly!

          I dislike tech people who mix politics into their work, even if I agree with their opinions. If you do both, just keep them separate, like separate YouTube channels or blogs or whatever. Lunduke doesn't do that, and many of his tech takes are colored by that as well, so I ignore him.

            That's really too bad.

            We lost this war with operating systems when Linux ate the BSDs' lunch, and it's happening again with browsers. I hope GNOME Web sticks around.

              The main issue I have right now: the jurisdiction of this is in the US, and to be honest, I don’t trust the US that much when it comes to privacy laws regarding the (near) future.

                Don't you think for a second that talking like this is indicative of extremism, polarization, even fanatism? It is ok to take political posture, but this is excessive

                  No.

                  If khtml had been GPL, it simply never would have been used for chrome or safari, some other engine would have been picked.

                    Fascism, just like Communism or even a Dictatorships are not inherently bad

                    No offense but what the fuck are you even saying

                    Fascism is absolutely inherently bad, there is no removal of its evil, oppressive, and authoritarian traits after which anything is left.

                    In their defense, if everyone was perfect everything would be perfect.

                    But you're absolutely right. As long as humans are human there's no way to separate human nature from authority. And as a result, any system that doesn't strictly limit scope and authority is inherently bad.

                        The developer wrote a comment (not visible to the end user) using the male form.

                        A random person opened a pull request without any useful changes, except for changing that comment from "he" to "their".

                        The developer rejected that PR because it's politically motivated and it doesn't add anything else.

                          There's a big difference between negating the existence of people and what happend in this case, i.e. somebody writing a comment (only visible to him and other developers) using the male form.

                            The Discord-based "support" makes it a "meh." The main devs alt-right BS makes it a "hard pass."

                              i know there was a thing at the beginning of the project where they wrote a lot of the documentation with masculine pronouns (ie assuming the reader was male), and when they were asked to change that for gender neutral pronouns, they said no because "they don’t want politics in their project"

                              beyond that however, idk if they eventually changed that or if they did other stuff

                              Not really. A random person submitted a PR with just one pronoun change in the code comments (not the documentation, and not anything remotely visible to the end user).

                              The developer rejected the (useless, in my opinion) PR.

                                Inclusive pronouns are not political, full stop.

                                They are political, because people (I'm not one of them) think they shouldn't be allowed and there are only two genders (e.g. the current president of the US).

                                  Right, except that's not politically motivated, and is a useful change for people reading the code, both for women and non-binary people.

                                    Both facists and tankies have genocided disabled people and selectively killed anarchists.

                                    As a disabled anarchist, they end up seeming pretty similar to me.

                                      The hyperbole here is insane. My trans friend’s Japanese parents are supportive of him, but they have some trouble with pronouns. If you’re not a native English speaker and learned the standard pronouns, then I think it’s just naturally too confusing. Pretty much all of them are translating in their minds in real-time.

                                          I know what happened. Is it a stupid, unnecessary fix? Sure, probably. But that doesn't mean it's political. Trans people simply existing is not a political issue.
