     @m3tti @chiraag @morganmay @mcc The other aspect here: Browser-dev is political!

     Many of the decisions they're expected to implement in order to call LadyBird a "browser-engine" were made in the name of inclusivity. And not doing so correctly for a project with these ambitions can reinforce privilege.

     Looking at their code I get the impression LadyBird respects "accessibility" & "internationalization" better than "pronouns", but they don't really seem to care about it.

     @chiraag @morganmay @mcc why can't people just leave all those politics and stuff aside. Don't we have bigger problems like that. Water gets short. We are heading to a new war and all those other really bad stuff thats happening. And here we are complaining about everyone and everything.

     Sometimes i feel like being part of a medieval society that needs its scapegoats that they can shitstorm and talk about. Gossip is the thing today.

     And the guy just wanted to write a browser.

     Couldn't easily find a better source, but basically a minor PR to change doc language to bs more inclusive blew up because tech is supposedly apolitical (it's not).
