Servo vs Ladybird

I believe that Ladybird has more funding and better support for the web, but Servo wins in performance. Though, they're hard to compare directly!

    the dev is a recovered addict and ex-convict who took up os development to be able to focus on something other than the world around him, in a country where the pronouns debate barely exists. him initially not accepting a documentation change from an unknown contributor that only changes pronouns does not qualify as a public freakout.

    Edit: not to mention, this has been fixed. read the history of the documents touched by the offending PR and you will see that they were changed years ago.

      All code is political, especially foss code. If he had accepted the change, even after initially being skeptical, no one would care. But he picked a side in the dumb culture war and stuck with it.

        but… he did. the documentation has all been changed to use second-person pronouns for user actions. that was years ago. the most rudimentary checks of the git history shows this. yet people are still going at him for it.

          That’s good to hear, if true. I’m not an expert at git, I’ve just seen the two issues that were both closed as won’tfix. I think they’d help their PR (edit: public relations) a lot if they just updated those issues.
