As a reminder if you are looking for a alternative web browser not controlled by AI cultists,
has various ways to set up a recurring donation!
I am not involved with Servo, and I don't know for a fact they will never let you down. What I can tell you is they
- Rejected a plan to allow AI contributions
- Allow gender-neutral pronouns in documentation¹
- Are designed from word go for embeddability, meaning they will always be easier to fork than Firefox or Chromium. -

@mcc also the Ladybird guy was jumping in to defend DHH against the Woke Left or whatever. In case people think the pronoun thing was an isolated incident

@oblomov @mcc yeah. my main concern is that anything tied to Firefox seems like it kind of lives or dies by what firefox does (the chromium problem) so it feels like a band-aid solution, but if there's no other solutions (and my friends who understand more about this technology than i do have told me there probably won't be), a band-aid is better than nothing

@emaytch @mcc Pale Moon has forked a long time ago and has been maintained independently from Firefox, so for all intents and purposes it can be considered truly an independent browser now with its own engine and it will survive even without FF. For LibreWolf and WaterFox, though, their survival without Firefox behind them is a huge question mark indeed.

@mcc post-edit comment: I had read that the Ladybird guy had declared that he didn't actually have an objection to the content of the patch, but just to the fact that it came from an outside contributor, and he works have accepted it if it has been from someone already involved with the project. I had been wondering how much it that was performative recovery. Interesting to know that they did make the change ultimately.

@lauramassera Hai assolutamente ragione, ma diciamo anche che nel 2025 è impossibile non riconoscere che la malvagità antisociale è il tratto distintivo di quelle Big Tech che spesso si presentavano eticamente candide.
L'unica eccezione è probabilmente quella di Apple che effettivamente ha deciso, sia anche solo per questioni di marketing e narrativa aziendale, di opporsi alle nuove tendenze del cattivismo trumpiano

@mattwiebe.blog what a journey!
I’m really impressed by your plans... I don’t think I’d ever have enough courage to pull something like that off. I hope I’ll get the chance to try your pizza someday!
Would be a great reason to visit Mexico 🙂
...and thanks for all your work on the ActivityPub plugin, I really miss your contributions ❤️

@OpenSoul era quello che mi stavo chiedendo anch'io. Il guaio è che è difficile fare una discussione seria, perché la maggior parte dei commenti che si leggono sono a tesi...

@stefano I think, it had been like this for a while. Sites for lots of more or less big projects, especially if they have paid version of a product, are marketing and buzzwords. That why I usually go straight to Documentation->How to get started for some simple overview and examples.
Looks like they just added those AI buttons without changing a site much.

The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.

La battaglia per la libertà cognitiva nell'era dell'intelligenza artificiale aziendale
La libertà di pensiero non è solo uno scudo contro le intrusioni, è il terreno su cui costruiamo tutto il resto: il diritto di esprimersi, dissentire, credere, imparare, amare. Richiede sia libertà negative (da manipolazione, sorveglianza, coercizione) sia positive (di immaginare alternative, di cercare la verità, di plasmare le nostre opinioni e preferenze).

@Elizafox when I first saw the original post, I snickered*, but thought it wasn't worth boosting. Then I saw it a second time because of Mastodon timeline reset shenaningans, I snickered again, but this time I boosted it, because I felt that something that could make me snicker two times in a row was definitely worth boosting.
(* not sure if this is the right word?)
