I would say, finally, in an era of bitter political struggle even in the free software world, finally we see a good humoured hacker joke again

Lmao there’s actually something kind of hilarious about a person trying to push gender neutral terms into documentation for a program called “Ladybird”.
Did they want the project to be renamed to “Lady/Man/Thembird” too? /S
It wasn’t for Ladybird. It was for SerenityOS.
The irony youre laughing about isnt there.
So wait, what does any od that have to do with Ladybird? The comment they replied to was literally about Ladybird… Ooooookay then.
Ladybird started as a SerenityOS browser, and is now being made standalone.
Same (problematic) developer.
Ah, thanks!
One joke
For some, sure. For me, no… I genuinely feel bad for anybody who’s head is so far up their ass that they fail to see the humour around the irony here.
I am also genuinely confused as to how there can be documentation for a web browser that has gendered terms in it in the first place… Aside from the browser name, what other gendered terms would there be?
For example developers or users could be referred to with a default male pronoun (if the user wants … he can …) when, and that might surprise you, women and queer people do exist and might even use browsers or develop software. There’s no need to be exclusive.
