OT, but I really like the name Ladybird for a silly reason - it's the name of Hank Hill's dog. Whenever I hear it I think of her and smile. That's right, the thought of a cartoon dog makes me happy. I told you it was silly.

Lots of things may be scams, but it's hard to see how a reasonable level of quality control is.

In the UK a ladybird is what Americans call a ladybug.

Me as customer: having trouble using the likes of GitHub and Threads using the "OS sanctioned browser"
That's on nobody except Microsoft and Meta for testing against Chromium only.
Person in tech me is in conflict with customer me as to who is to blame. Maybe system imposed browser/agent defaults were a mistake after all.

So it's okay for a website builder to test in only one browser defaulting to an imposed browser/agent restriction?

Well and knowing Hank, the dog is surely named after Lady Bird Johnson.

There's no quality control in AppStore, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44732995.

What quality control? Are we talking about the same App Store where copyright infringement is blatantly on display? What a joke. I guess it doesn’t matter if its customers are equally as clueless.

#29Me as engineer: it's wild a big corporation dictates a quality bar and limit API access for 3rd party software. Me as customer: oh man I'm sure glad stuff is reviewed to some quality bar and the OS limits API access.
Me as a consumer:
- browsers having to go through Apple means slower updates (including for bugs or security), not needed on Mac or any other platform
- Apple forces every alternative-engine browser to use a pretty broken framework that Safari does not use, not needed on Mac or any other platform
- Apple's restrictions on alternative engines in the EU are a vast list of malicious compliance[0], making those engines a theoretical academic exercise, so they're definitely still fucking you as a consumer.

You seem to totally be overlooking who Hank was paying homage to with that name. Thanks to Ladybird, spring time in Texas provides a colorful palette of wildflowers, especially the bluebonnet, to travelers along the highways.
