Look at these sponsors! I wouldn't use Ladybird in 1750 BC.

Non-browser companies I don’t like are sponsoring a browser engine alternative so they don’t all end up getting hosed by Google’s lock-in.

As long as the end result is what I want I am alright with jerks I don’t like footing the bill if our separate self-interests are momentarily aligned.

This is a wait-and-see for me.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yeah. Corporate sponsorship for the purposes of "get us the hell out of this monopoly" is kinda how open source has worked so far.

Sometimes its fine. See: Linux

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Thank you, an intelligent comment

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 6 days ago

Damn, thats a really low quality copper sponsor

[–] shiftymccool@piefed.ca 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, as if finding FOSS alternatives to mega-corp software wasn't hard enough, now i have to care about the politics of a sponsor's co-sponsor's ceo's husband's dog's groomer before I install? Pass

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

I think this is a joke about the first copper-tier sponsor.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I work in the copper industry and can confirm we get shit sponsors.

Someone already asked me to upload to other than Imgur, so did I, but forgot to edit the main post. Should be fine now.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago

No problem!

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This is a silly take. It's an open source project from a non profit creating a new browser option

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 127 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)
[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 55 points 1 week ago

Swoosh 🤦‍♂️ thank you

[–] explodIng_lIme@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah the other side of this is that there is mandatory 1 sponsor and it is Alphabet/Google

Edit: read the list and noticed the primeagen is on there so I guess it must be evil

[–] pirateKaiser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

What did the primeagen do? Haven't been keeping up with his stuff for a while. I remember he gave me American Christian conservative vibes but I've never heard him taking political stances (outside of the prevalent pro capitalism typical for the region)

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Agreed. I looked into this and it seems like an honest effort to try and prevent a total Chrome monopoly.

A fresh browser is a massive project. Web standards are massive, and complex, and growing.

It would be nice to see Firefox killing it, but they aren’t.

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

there's another non-fascist browser rendering project yknow, with less hype around it but just as promising imo

~~and also it's made in rust so you know it's good~~

if something is sponsored by futo, shopify and 37signals???? run

i trust Ea-nāṣir more than i trust DHH

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

update me is this part of the joke or is there some problem with futo im unaware of

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

futo collaborates with and platforms curtis yarvin, a self-described fascist

they also did a bunch of other shady bullshit which the article talks about, but which i don't consider to be as important

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

curtis yarvin sounds like the name of a star wars imperial officer the nazis are getting out of control

[–] veggibles@lemmy.wtf 3 points 6 days ago

Where were you during the Battle of Curtis Yarvin?

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Goddammit, now I have to find another keyboard for my phone. Any recommendations for one that isn't supported by fascists?

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Could someone fork the FUTO keyboard? Idk how this works 

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

i’ve switched to HeliBoard on my tablet!

i wouldn’t call it a drop-in replacement (i don’t think it has swipe-to-type or voice recognition for example, tho i could be wrong) but for me it works even better

FUTO is seemingly lead by an entirely unrelated toxic individual. But as for 37signals:

The open source web application framework Ruby on Rails was initially created by David Heinemeier Hansson for internal use at 37signals, before being publicly released in 2004.

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

for further context on DHH, CEO and founder of 37signals: he also made omarchy, the infamous dodgy-personal-arch-config-turned-linux-distro, is in large part the reason why framework is in so much hot water right now, and the reason he's bad (and why we're mad at framework for collaborating with him) is he's an open white supremacist

[–] kazaika@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Damn thanks for explaining all that, i didnt know any of that

Didn't he sell that dodgy copper way back when?

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh no!
Not me!
I never lost control.
You're face

With the man who sold the world.

Content not viewable in your region.

Could you provide an alternate link? Or maybe use the image button to upload it to your instance so it's out of the control of some corporation?

(Imgur deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription, and they geoblock my country because the data protection commission threatened them with a fine for selling children's browsing history and they'd rather take it out on users than simply filter the accounts they auto-tagged as children out of the data they were selling. We left reddit for a reason. Imgur is no less moneygrabbing.)
