> 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.

[throwaway1194]

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.

[mythz]

Calling someone selfish because he chose to devote his efforts to one of his spinoff projects and not wherever you think he should devote his future time/efforts to goes beyond entitlement. It's even worse coming from an anonymous drive by shit poster who doesn't care to learn anything about the projects and people they're more than happy to pass judgement and false commentary on.

Apparently this tweet qualifies as "Crying on X":

> Linux Foundation Announces the Launch of "Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers" > 1) Huh

Where he's asking why would the Linux Foundation throw their support behind further entrenching a Monopolistic browser? A browser that even the US Govt wants to break-up Google given the monopolistic control they have over it and the Web. The motivations of the initiative are clear in the announcement which says is being funded by Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Opera - i.e. mega tech corps that benefit from Chromium. So the question is really asking why is the Linux Foundation throwing their brand behind further entrenching a monopoly controlled technology at the expense of supporting more diversity in OSS browser engines? You're really cherry picking with this, I'm sure Andreas had done many unfavorable things, but asking why the Linux Foundation is involved in a counter intuitive initiative isn't one of them.

> I know it's all about the money, he should have stayed working at Apple.

Great more false confidence and proclamations of what someone's life is about, apparently in addition to working on projects you want, he should also work for employers you want to as well.

> who already displayed signs of betrayal to his community. > The SerenityOS community was fractured, all because of his selfish ambitions.

Your gross entitlement is apparently someone else's betrayal of their previous OSS efforts, where apparently he should've spent the rest of his life being a slave to his previous OSS projects you want them to, that he's already given so much time to, but you aren't even bothered to learn anything about before passing judgement on. Everyone is entitled to their views, but yours are so misguided that you need some serious self-awareness that "Open Source is Not About You" [1] before spreading more of your toxic entitlement.

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

No one is asking you to. But why do you think you should be entitled to what other projects, people and their communities should be doing now and in the future?

The SerenityOS project or community wouldn't exist and continues to move forward without him, receiving multiple commits a day with the latest a few minutes ago. Which is a huge accomplishment for any OSS project to continue to improve without their founder, not something anyone should be chastised for.

Exactly, that's why I support Free Software, not "Open Source".
