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.
It has nothing to do with usage. It's a restriction that's imposed on the browser developers.
Mozilla themselves claim that this makes development harder for them.
By forcing developers to have the same limitations as their own browser, apple has made it difficult for competitors to gain an edge over safari.
Apple only allowed browsers on ios to use webkit, so they quite literally were holding back browser development.
This has only recently been changed, and it appears you can only use an alternate browser engine in the EU, so they are still holding back mobile web browser development for people in most countries.
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.
I'm 'addicted' to water. Can't go a day without drinking multiple glasses of the stuff.
If something is impacting your life or the lives of others in a negative way, you should probably work on improving that.
If not, who cares?

Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.
I personally try to avoid looking at 'raw' ratings when I'm trying to find new media.
Full reviews are better, because they're able to express more nuance, and I'm able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.
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.

Guess I've been living under a rock or something because I had to look up what 1488 meant.
I still don't fully understand though... Is this something that a lot of people recognise as a nazi / white supremacist symbol, or is it more of a niche reference?
