It's really depressing that you've been downvoted to grey. People don't even have coherent reasons to dislike the browser.

But its Brave, crypto aligned projects are a nonstarter.
anonbanker · 6 months ago
"crypto-aligned" is such a gigantic red herring.

so use the --disable-features flag at runtime?

maybe go into brave://flags and disable the wallet?

or just admit you're only against Brave because Brendan Eich privately donated $2,000 to a failed CA Proposition?

Show me another browser that still runs uBlock Origin.

Other browsers may be less resource intensive but with unreadable internet.

Brave re-implemented everything uBlock Origin does, and did it in Rust.

Nonsense. You are making the assumption that laughing is always voluntary, and only to communicate that you find something amusing. Both parts of that are false - for example many people will laugh instinctively as part of a fight flight response when the perceive danger from others to communicate "hey im with you and not scared, don't hurt me more". People who hate veing tickled because they feel defenseless will still laugh when tickled, for one concrete specific.

Imagine being so humorless as to purport that laughing at a joke is somehow equivalent to a form of torture.

If a comedian elicits a laugh from a person - who is at fault if the person laughs, the comedian or the person?

I would argue that the person is at fault. Unless you are suggesting one does not have a choice whether to laugh or not.

If that were true, then all comedians would either be funny, or not funny, for all people. That is simply not the case.

Imagine even entertaining the idea that laughter is a bad thing.

I'm grateful for the author for showing me SimpleX-Chat[0]. I'm an avid Matrix user, but communication tools that weren't birthed from a political hivemind are important tools to support, especially when you're being told that the opposite is true. In this case, the communication tool seems to be grounded in interesting ideas that preserve privacy more than Matrix seems to be capable of doing.

Oh, this is bigger than just Android. SDP munging can cause all sorts of havoc on desktop clients as well. Bit of a blind spot in WebRTC implementations.

who is covering for what bad news cycle?!
anonbanker · 7 months ago
The (Special Council) Robert Hur tapes with Biden leaked. Jake Tapper's book was released. Both evidence significant cognitive impairment in a sitting president. 25th Amendment can be applied retroactively.

They needed something to shift that cycle, and distract.

Oooh, kernel 5.4 This means that Teslas are vulnerable to every exploit discovered since, and anyone wanting to gain full access to the system has a multitude of tools to get there.

I don't buy it. The only evidence is the robot itself saying something vague. Their insistence based on flimsy evidence just screams irrational hate intended to inflame confirmation bias.
