    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.

    Neat. But it’s kind of concerning to see yet another OSS project hitch it’s community resourcing to Discord.

      Yeah, it’s a bit at odds with their “free from corporate influence” angle. Absolutely no reason to not use Matrix.

        How does the make it non free from corporate influence. The hate boner towards discord is getting ridiculous sometimes. Yeah it sucks to use a repo thats not googleable and not open source bur discord is an objectively better user experience than matrix

          How does the make it non free from corporate influence.

          Do they require Discord and depend on it? Yes.
          Is Discord corporate? Yes.
          Are they then still free from corporate influence? Nope. H Simply put, if Discord suddenly implemented weird rules the Ladybird devs would have to comply with, they’d simply have to follow suit or break their main communication channel.
