  • Just idea that they expect growth where there is none is strange. This business are at the limit and have no way to grow faster than economic situation of many people around the world gets better.

    Sad part is fir them it is better to destroy service trying to increase growth in meaningless ways, than to just find a way to keep the business that is working.

    Idea of infinite growth is ruining us.


  • But that is always happening. Software that now can be built by two programers needed IBM few decades ago, just because of hardware, languages, available libraries and shared knowledge.

    But we still have so many “app ideas” that there is more work to be done. I would be happy to have AI write all those apps that I need and have no time or money to make them.

    My conclusion is that it is only about money and economy. We are in unofficial recession so everyone is cutting costs, as soon as money comes back we will go back into bulking/exploration phase.



  • It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

    When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

    So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don’t see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.











  • It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.

    Using “he” insted of “they” is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It’s like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.

    There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.


  • These people started it and are doing it for fun.

    Fixing few decades of technical debt is not fun and a big question would be if their code would even be considered for existing engines.

    It us so much fin it already has over 1000 contributors. It got us 1k more people that understand browsers deeply. I think that’s a huge win whatever happens with browser itself


  • I see it just as extension to “cancel culture” in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.

    It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.

    Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don’t know what’s happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.

    I don’t see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.

    Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.
