I can feel the cracks in the Matrix…

Thanks for your work! To be honest, I knew of AI Horde for essentially forever, but only discovered your contribution to it today 😅

You could use https://github.com/Haidra-Org/Lucid-Creations

apparently developed by db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com. It uses AI horde so you don’t even need a powerful GPU (or CPU).

There’s much more controversy surrounding Vaxry.

Why tf do people even use Samsung Internet browser?

Thanks for sharing that linked comment. I knew there were other things that weren’t as talked about, but I didn’t have the energy to look into them and draft a comprehensive insight with citations.

Source for your claim? By all means, fuck /u/spez, but making wild claims like this is simply defamation.

Andrew is not just “any individual”. He’s one of the lead developers of Ladybird, and the co-founder of the Ladybird 501©(3) nonprofit.

I’m not sure I understood; a line for what?

I’ll try to answer based on what I think you meant: if there is a software with a person with undesirable views in control of it, I’d try to boycott that software if feasible.

This is not about “the FOSS community”. It doesn’t matter if you developed closed-source or open-source, doesn’t matter if you license your software with AGPL or NULA, if you make a comment that’s seemingly transphobic/misogynistic, people WILL freak out.

The reason you might see this occur more frequently in open-source spaces could be sue to the fact that issue trackers and PRs provide much less filtered responses than corporate social media accounts and blogs.

The issue I have with Ladybird is that the remarks were made *by one of the “lead” developers". In a huge project with thousands of developers, it is inevitable that some of my code is made by a person with unsavory views. However, I dislike the fact that such a person is in charge of the project.

I have no problems with the code itself. Code is code. But it is moreso the leadership of the Ladybird Foundation that bothers me. I’d like for one of the options to come true:

• Andreas apologizes for his actions and acknowlege the recklessness of his words
• The Ladybird Foundation has a change in representation
• The project is forked and maintained by a different corporation

Personally, I’m excited about Servo. Not only due to the leadership, but because it is made Rust. As we all know, Rust has a carcinized logo that gives you the legal right to spam rocket (🚀) emotes.

Brigading was definitely not a justified act. That was wrong and extreme, and shouldn’t have been done. However, this still doesn’t excuse the closing reply to the PR.

People are losing their shit … over comments in the source code and a single line of documentation?

This is quite ironic, considering the first person in the PR seems to be the person who closed the issue.

Personally, I’d want my software to value basic human decency, no matter how good the code is. If the developer lashes out at an inclusive change in a single line of documentation, I’m not using that browser even if it could solve my taxes.

This is just my take though, and if you want to use the browser, then go for it.

It takes no effort to refuse a PR without making a comment that even the basement dwellers of /r/conservative would have realized would be sensitive and politically charged.

The developer literally said he’s not opposed to gender-neutral language

It isn’t really important what the developer claims; if they don’t act according to their claims, then there’s no point. Even I know how to build sandcastles in the air.

I prioritize basic human decency over browser engine monopolies, but everyone has their own priorities.

I personally got very negative vibes from that comment. It takes literally nothing to merge/refuse the PR. Instead, he replied with an extremely charged and hostile statement.

Grammar PRs are common in open-source projects. Ladybird has had fair amount PRs relating to grammar, that have been merged. Are those not “cruft in that doesn’t advance the project technically”? What’s so specific about this PR?

Also, if a person cannot see the effects of their statement on such a charged topic, then that showcases blatant stupidity and obtuseness.

I’ve checked out the PR, and it does look bad. But I’d like to see a justification. The comment seems blatantly transphobic/misogynistic. Seems like you’re saying that my understanding is extreme. How could yours be refuted?

Brigading was clearly not justified, but as per my apparently extreme opinions, so isn’t the original reply?

For research purposes, could you give a link to the media so I can download it to my local storage? Asking for a friend.

Even the Linux kernel is not as much of a beast that a browser engine is

A browser engine takes years more [than a kernel]

That’s cool, I didn’t know that. !til@lemmy.world

Distros are not kernel forks. Distros simply take the kernel, and bundle it with many utilities for the end-user. It is the equivalent of taking a puzzle set and assembling the pieces together. Sure, many distros maintain their own programs (such as a package manager), but it is an entirely different thing to maintain pacman than to maintain the freaking kernel.
