> Also why they decided to start from scratch, instead of forking at least some components of a working libre browser
Again, further reading has allowed me to answer my own question. SerenityOS was an itch-scratching project where the goal was to try out entirely new approaches. One of the reasons for spinning Ladybird into its own entity is to move away from that, and start making use of existing code where it makes sense.
"I love SerenityOS, and I love the community that has formed around it. I don’t want to hold it back anymore by being a distracted BDFL. This is why I’ve also decided to step down. Effective immediately, SerenityOS is now in the hands of its maintainer group. They’re a lovely bunch of people, and I trust they’ll take good care of it."

This is what servant leadership looks like.

new blogpost! last year, I started hacking on bringing #SerenityOS to real hardware - this is my update on how far i’ve gotten so far.
Prepare for a lot of insane debugging techniques, and me learning and fixing stuff essentially as I go. (it’s fun, I promise)
@bugaevc Out of curiosity, why are you working on an experimental branch of GTK? I thought your projects these days are #Rust / #Hurd / #SerenityOS ?
(Please continue working on whatever you find interesting.)
My thoughts on the #serenityos #ladybird situation 
@hexaheximal @mrmasterkeyboard As a response, number 1, you are not the boss of him, 2nd, those comments are absolutely unnecessary. And he is right. Normal OS devs do not want that kind of stuff in their creations, and that's why the #serenityos community is mad about! So don't say he's "dogpiling" when he is making a right stand!
Anyway;
#SerenityOS do not concern themselves with with controversial topics such as implying anyone but men could possibly know how to use a computer
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/24647
Not content with making an OS trapped in the toxic nerd culture safe space commonly referred to as The 90s, the #SerenityOS developers are pushing further back in time by localising all of their code for Victorian British English audiences
#SerenityOS only has the 
and 
emojis and strictly no women allowed in. Sorry m'lady, and m'bird
You went to #SerenityOS? What's that? I heard it's some sort of gentleman's club?
What you are referring to as "#SerenityOS" is, in fact, a gaggle of misogynist techbros.
The "OS" in "SerenityOS" stands for "Opensource Shitheaps". The " Serenity" is chan flavoured irony
@mrmasterkeyboard Here are a few links:
- https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814 (the PR that started the drama)
- https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/8046 (a slightly later PR)
- https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/24647 (a spiteful PR)
- https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/24648 (another spiteful PR)
- https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/24650 (yet another spiteful PR)
- https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/pull/366 (another spiteful PR, this time for Ladybird)
EDIT: I'm not sure if "spiteful" is actually the right term. Either way, I don't care about SerenityOS anymore.
Hey, seen #ladybird and #serenityos blowing up for bad reasons and I don’t know what’s happening or what happened.
Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks! :3
Ya que estamos de nostalgia no se porque, comparto este sistema operativo que me compartieron en el canal de Slackware en IRC, se llama SerenityOS y es unix-like --> https://www.serenityos.org/ #serenityos #unix #unixlike #90s
I just wanted to mention that my follower list is a curated list of most to all awesome #SerenityOS people on this instance and others. So if I'm not following you, that's just because I want people to find the Serenity bubble through my follower list! I'm much more likely to follow you on my main account (@filmroellchen@chaos.social) if we've interacted 
Hello friends ! #introduction If you didn't know, I'm @filmroellchen@chaos.social. This is my second account on serenityos.social, our own instance for #SerenityOS contributors. I will try to post Serenity-related content only over here (and occasionally repost on the main account), and I'll keep this account tech only. So if you're interested in my Serenity work but not politics, social issues or queer stuff, come follow me here!
