Very interesting. Not what I was expecting on a Monday morning.

TL;DR: The Ladybird browser, which was written from scratch and aims to be an alternative to corporate-backed browser, now has a non-profit organisation behind it. Also, it got additional funding of 1 million dollars. The end.

Ah, now I can be excited for them and move on with my day. I get that video presentations can be great for feature releases that need visual aids, but I don’t want to sit through a video for details that can be summed up in two sentences.

Then don’t watch it. I have spent more time now reading this complaint on Lemmy than I have watching videos that were not worth my time.

The guy that made this video had a few minutes to make a high-engagement video I guess and no time to write a low-engagement press release. That was his choice.

Your choice is to watch it or not. He does not your views. Videos do better regardless of your opinion.

I actually agree with you but I am just sick of reading this comment on every video posted. Use tech to transcribe it yourself or just don’t watch. Stop making me read this complaint. Unlike video, I have to waste time reading before I realize what you are saying.

Then don’t read the comment…

LeFantome ,

Well, you clearly did not read mine. At least, not the part where I addressed exactly that. I do love these opportunities to brush with genius.

Iapar ,

Nope. I read until you did what you criticized, decided it was wasting my time and stopped.

Telorand ,

The complaining will continue until post quality improves.

LeFantome ,

The reason videos are so inefficient for him is because he has to take so much time on each one to complain about it being a video.

This is very exciting

Thanks, this was hugely helpful. For some reason half the comments here made it about politics.

Interested to see where this new software actually goes.

#1 sponsor is Shopify, how does that affect the indepentness?

How can you be “independent” if you have sponsors? All sponsorships are in the form of unrestricted donations. Board seats and other forms of influence are not for sale.

…per the FAQ.

influence exists whether they want it to or not.

Exactly. When the person who holds your purse strings decides they don’t like something, they can influence you by simply… taking away your financial backing.

True but you can account for that in the organization

Why are we shouting?

As long as it doesn’t become a way for Shopify to shovel ads and collect data it isn’t a problem. We will watch with great interest
