It’s not a viral copyleft license, so you’re free to use the source code without giving anything back.
This has pros and cons over something like GPL, but people like to circlejerk GPL and pretend it’s always the best option 100% of the time.
For situations where you have to sign an NDA and are unable to release source code (eg; console game dev), MIT and BSD licensed projects are a godsend.
Sure. Lets just ignore ladybird/serenity and the positive impact Andreas is making because he didn’t accept a commit that changed a pronoun for a system account on the operating system he wrote from a ‘he’ to a ‘they’.
And lets ignore that it’s been changed since. People ‘never’ change, so lets fuck up their entire career and public image for life.
Yeah no thanks.
If you think that comment outweighs all the positive impacts Andreas is making, that’s your prerogative. I’m not interested in holding everyone up to such high expectations.
If that makes me a simp in your eyes, so be it.
If you read the commit, you would see it was referring to a built-in non-human account.
In no way did he assume the gender of any people, so who cares if he referred to a built-in account of his operaring system as ‘he’ instead of ‘they’?
A more accurate description would have been ‘it’.
As somebody who also identifies as LGBT, I don’t want or need your permission to feel anything.
I don’t feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.
The guy literally created javascript. It shouldn’t be a surprise that somebody who’s developing a web browser holds some amount of respect for him.
We could argue about this all day, but neither of us are Andreas, so we shouldn’t be assuming his beliefs based on a few interactions on social media.
None of this should get in the way of the web browser’s success anyway, because it’s not relevant to the project.
Game consoles tend to have a webkit-based browser (ps3/4/5/vita, wiiu/3ds/switch).
All iOS browsers are webkit-based, due to apple’s restrictions.
What cheering?
Are you trying to convince me that making a neutral meme about a shitty person’s success is equatable to supporting/being a nazi?
So there’s no issue with Andreas, just some people he’s interacted with before?
It’s great to hear he doesn’t partake in dehumanising others for their past behaviour/statements :)
The proton CEO praised Donald Trump’s choice for who would lead the government’s antitrust division, and now most of Lemmy think they’re a Nazi company or something.
Just typical cancel culture bullshit. Where people choose to be outraged rather than attempting to understand a situation.
I honestly thought they were holding a container of little chocolates before I read the comments
This is the first time I’ve heard of creamer and everyone seems to be shitting on it.
I guess I haven’t missed much.
Are there good ones? And do many people actually use this instead of milk?
Or is this just another one of those american culture things that us foreigners will never understand?
Does it… help? with butt stuff?
Not sure if it’s used anywhere else, but it’s the cover for the Hold / She Was EP by Dabin.
Telling someone they need to get their act together or you’ll ignore their shit is considered more hateful than asking for someone to be retroactively aborted?
Ah yes, because you absolutely must hate and dehumanise everyone who shares a different belief to you. You aren’t allowed to speak to or be friendly to anyone who has shared shitty views in the past, because how else could we possibly know that you don’t share 100% of their opinions?
You’re free to limit your communication to only those who share your views, if that’s what you find comfortable. But there can be many mutually-benefical reasons to befriend those who you dislike.
Anyway, I’m about done with this conversation, as I don’t believe either of us will come out of it with a different view.
Feel free to get the last word in if that helps you sleep easier. Seeing that you replied to a comment that’s almost a week old, I wouldn’t be surprised if you do.
