“us/them” mentality doesn’t help much. this is surely a great fuss for a 3 year old pr but you’re misrepresenting the situation:

• serenityOS (and consequently ladybird) has rather strict rules about wording documentation: they enforce language style and even date formats
• that wasn’t a report, but a PR: rather than pressing ~50 keys on your keyboard and then a “lock” button he could have just pressed the “merge” button and integrated those ~10 total characters changes
• github issues are routinely used to fix wording: documentation often lives on git and it’s useful to have it version controlled, even plain documents without attached source are kept on git so that their edit history is accessible and manageable

folks are making a big fuss but Andreas really set himself up: just say sorry and change 4 words, such a weird horse to die on

then use “they”, do you speak exclusively with yourself? your linguistic choices affect others, just like others’ linguistic choices affect you (as you were noticing and complaining about)

you don’t understand the language and thus everyone should comply with you? i’d rather read correct english than what you find more understandable

nice whataboutism, “they should do this instead”. oh they do, but you don’t care when they do.

the delivery didn’t deface anything, if you want to focus on the delivery and once again ignore the message at least be honest. willing or not, messages like this do BP bidding

comparing with mullvad is ridiculous and just shows how much you drank the apple juice without questioning

• mullvad doesn’t hold your contact info, like apple right?
• mullvad is open source so you can independently verified which data is being sent, just like apple right?
• mullvad claims to not log anything, like apple and their csam thing on icloud right?

“leave alone the multi billion dollar corporation” energy

what data gets hogged back? most stuff can be turned off and are features that would be missing anyway from xmpp, like identity servers or integrations server. also you can selfhost your identity server and add integrations manually
