GitHub - LadybirdBrowser/ladybird: Truly independent web browser

Hmm I don't think you really understand what happened.
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.
-
Alt right bs?
-
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.
-
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).
-
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’m with you. I install Legcord now so that I don’t have to install that shitty application on my actual computer. I highly recommend it for those communities that refuse to use anything else!
-
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.

Transphobic main dev […]
Do you have a source?

The documentation has long since been changed.
Note that the anon user is able to become root without a password by default, as a development convenience. To prevent this, remove anon from the wheel group and it will no longer be able to run /bin/su.
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/commit/a2a6bc534868773b9320ec3ca7399283cf7a375b (this seems to have also switched to gender neutral language in other parts.'of the documentation and comments as well).

what r they gonna do if it's open source and doesn't collect data.
worry more about ur OS -
You don't have to install anything. It's a website. I don't understand why people install the app (or any app that is a website in a wrapper).
-
Might want to look into Legcord, because it is definitely more than just a wrapper, friend.

As a non-disabled non-anarchist, yeah fuck them

Fascism, just like Communism or even a Dictatorships are not inherently bad.
Absolutely incorrect. Without getting into anything about the viability of a "good" dictatorship, that's a different discussion... Fascism is absolutely inherently bad. The entire ideology is based on: lies, hatred, discrimination, oppression, censorship, desire and ability to eliminate large swathes of their own population based on some inconsequential aspect of who they fundamentally are, etc.
It's folly to equate fascism with far-left ideologies, or even include them in the same league when it comes to evilness. While you might not agree with the methods of the latter (I certainly don't w.r.t. tankies), the ideology of socialism is based on: worker's rights, egalitarianism, equity, social safety nets, mutual aid, etc.
Not a single aspect of socialism as it exists in theory, so to speak, is objectively bad/evil. What happens is evil people use it as a vehicle to seize power. On the contrary, fascism is evil to the core. There is not a single redeeming factor to it.

In their defense, if everyone was perfect everything would be perfect.
Right, but fascism could not exist in that kind of world because it's based, at least partially, on exploiting inequalities to turn citizens against an "other" (usually marginalized groups at first). So if "everyone was perfect," there would never be the right conditions for fascism to take root.
