You are the one assuming things wrongly about me, you know absolutely nothing about what I know and don't.

Am I not allowed to say anything anymore? I know what SerenityOS is and what it's trying to do, I just think it's unreasonable and a waste of effort.

Andreas himself changed his mind about reusing third party libraries in Ladybird, SerenityOS should do the same.

I know you don't care to read about things you comment on and like to throw uninformative recommendations about what people working on a project should do, that directly contradicts the goal of the project and why developers started hacking on it in the first place. Seriously, how do you expect your low effort backseat comments to be taken? You don't think the very capable OS developers already know that reusing existing Software takes less time than creating it? Or maybe you're missing some context on the project your commenting on, like its entire purpose for being?

Andreas did not change his mind about SerenityOS which is still a hobby OS project for Hackers as it has always been. He just moved on to work on Ladybird full-time to compete as a mainstream browser alternative to Blink/WebKit which has completely different goals to SerenityOS which is no longer a supported target since it incorporates 3rd Party libraries.

> Andreas did not change his mind about SerenityOS

He did, how much do you want to bet that if he were to do it all over again he would go straight to the browser work and skip the OS project?

That's why he doesn't even talk about it anymore, he even removed it as a target in Ladybird.

It's clear that he got burned by his own decisions.

I don't care what you think about me or not, I don't hate SerenityOS and I wish that project well, but I think they should reconsider their stance on third party libraries.

So it's clear you don't know anything about Andreas, why he started SerenityOS or why it's even called SerenityOS, but yet still have the false confidence to assume to know what he thinks - knowing nothing about anything. Thanks for wasting everyone's time.

The only ones who wasted time are the SerenityOS contributors themselves with the bait-and-switch, I'm really not interested to hear about his sob story about why he started it when he has shown that he doesn't care about anyone else but himself, takes everyone for granted and replaces the project unilaterally while killing the OS essentially.

[mythz]

I'm always amazed at the level of entitlement in some people. He spent his free time creating an OS from scratch with a great community behind it and shared his knowledge about how to build an OS from scratch across 100s hours of YouTube.

One of SerenityOS Apps (Ladybird) grew larger than SerenityOS itself which he's devoted the last couple of years to, trying the impossible feat of creating a modern web browser with a skeleton crew but yet still manages to attract idiotic, self-righteous low effort commentary like this. Andreas has already given the world plenty, owes nothing to me or you or anyone else, especially with what he devotes his future time to.

[throwaway1194]

I don't care, you are here throwing tantrums and name-calling like a 5 year old while my comments are being downvoted at the same time. I told you what my views about SerenityOS, Ladybird and Andreas are and you insist I'm wrong and ignorant while I never called anyone any names here.

You also say that I'm entitled, ok let's see who's the one crying on X about the Linux Foundation funding other projects than his own:

Look, it's fine if you like him and his projects, I don't because I know it's all about the money, he should have stayed working at Apple.

And again: I'm not going to spend my time nor resources to support someone who already displayed signs of betrayal to his community.

The SerenityOS community was fractured, all because of his selfish ambitions.
