The fact that the word "alienation" already existed doesn't mean Marx didn't have a specific theory about alienation in specific contexts that ended being pretty influential for philosophy. Like, holy shit, Marx's theory of alienation isn't obscure. Do a minimum of research before spouting ignorant bullshit.

Er, yes. It's one of the main features being introduced in 3.0. I don't know why you would just assume they're not adding it without looking it up. It made quite a bit of noise when it started being in the works.

Basically everywhere I go on Lemmy you're there spouting ignorant bullshit, garbage takes, rage-bait and misinformation. You're inescapable. This is the perfect example. You know what you're saying is wrong. You know you're being dishonest. Do you wanna know how I know? Because I literally told you as much less than two weeks ago when you tried spreading the same lies. But you didn't care back then and you still don't care now. The only thing you seem to care about going by the other things I've seen you post is pushing your favorite projects, and you will use all of the arguments available to do so, including the ones that you just entirely made up. You think LadyBird is the better project and are trying to spread the belief that Servo is dead to make others buy into the LadyBird hype further. But, of course, Servo verifiably isn't dead and in fact the Servo team writes up monthly blog posts detailing their progress, which show the project developing at a healthy pace. And to top it all off, when these facts are pointed out to you, your only comeback is "means nothing". Clearly you're not the kind of person to let facts tie you down.

LadyBird is an unusable pre-alpha-quality web browser. The fact that they haven't bothered porting to Windows yet is both thoroughly unsurprising and entirely meaningless. In its current state, it wouldn't become popular either way. But I guess Linux users have this weird inferiority complex where everything must instantly be dropped to port to Windows even when it makes little sense to do so.

WebKit/Blink are mostly LGPL.

WebKit isn't dead and is being used by GNOME Web.

Regular Qt themes are compiled C++ programs that use the QStyle API to alter the look of Qt applications. They can do just about anything, but obviously require code to create. Being compiled programs also means they can't be portably distributed. They have to be recompiled for every different Qt version and architecture.

Kvantum is just one of those themes, and it uses its code to load and display much simpler SVG-based themes. Kvantum themes are actually much less complex than regular Qt themes, which is the whole point, since that makes them significantly simpler to create and much more portable, which is why they're so popular. The vast majority of Qt themes nowadays are made for Kvantum. Before Kvantum, it was mostly the less powerful QtCurve. Regular themes can do a lot of things Kvantum themes can't, but Kvantum is usually good enough.

Because it doesn't matter for most apps. XWayland works fine.

Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

What are you trying to say? Of course it does. Pretty much every Linux app still supports X11, because a lot of people are still using X11. Only exception I'm aware of is Waydroid.

OS is also identified by user agent, so it's no less vulnerable to fake agents. In any case, I'd wager the vast majority of users even on Linux use unaltered agents, though this isn't something that can be backed up one way or another because there are no numbers for fake agents.

servo is a lot further along because they're not bothering with javascript and are just using spidermonkey. see WPT: https://staging.wpt.fyi/results/?product=servo&product=ladybird

So you believe that Mozilla was just "cutting useless bloat" on the sole basis that "If it was good Mozilla would’ve used it more"? Yes, I think I will stick with my own take. They dropped it because making web engines is expensive and they no longer wanted to invest in making a new one in Rust. It was good, that's the entire reason people are complaining.

Servo is not the old name for Gecko. Gecko existed long before Servo was started and Servo continues to be developed independently of Mozilla. It was a research project to develop a web rendering engine in Rust taking advantage of parallelization. The parallelization stuff mostly made it through the Quantum project several years ago, which did indeed help performance. That's about it. As of right now, Gecko's code base 55.4% C++, 22.6% JavaScript, 4.5% C, 4.3% Kotlin and a mere 3.8% Rust. If Servo had indeed been integrated into Firefox, over half of this would be Rust. 53.2%, if the current Servo repository is anything to go by.
