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.

Game consoles tend to have a webkit-based browser (ps3/4/5/vita, wiiu/3ds/switch).
All iOS browsers are webkit-based, due to apple's restrictions.

What cheering?
Are you trying to convince me that making a neutral meme about a shitty person's success is equatable to supporting/being a nazi?

So there's no issue with Andreas, just some people he's interacted with before?

It's great to hear he doesn't partake in dehumanising others for their past behaviour/statements :)

Do companies have any reason to invest in political parties, other than to sway policies?

It's pretty clear there will always be a conflict of interest, so how the fuck is this allowed?

The proton CEO praised Donald Trump's choice for who would lead the government's antitrust division, and now most of Lemmy think they're a Nazi company or something.

Just typical cancel culture bullshit. Where people choose to be outraged rather than attempting to understand a situation.
