Our actions are political… and the choices we make show support for others choices too

I’ve heard enough from multiple sources about Ladybird’s creator to know that I don’t wish to support him and it’s not a recent view

I respectfully disagree.

You can believe in a kind of political "butterfly effect" where every little action you take has a meaningful effect on the world, but I don't think it's useful.

Downloading a browser may well put a thousandth of a smile on the face of someone you think is a bad dude, but if you give a shit about bad things happening in the world this is miles away from a good use of your time and energy.

Oh it’s ok we can disagree…

My views on Ladybird’s creator stem from his behaviour long before he started creating a browser or an OS

Choosing not to use it doesn’t cost me any time or energy!
