Horses for courses.

They took over a UK company called Play.com that was big in the 2010s for cheap CD purchases.

Before displaying a page it searches the content and injects a referrer tag to the end of URLs that match certain things. This is done instantly.

E.g. If there’s a Binance URL on the page it’ll add something like ?ref=bravebrowser

Binance will pick up that tag and give them money for any sign ups. Brave do this for any crypto services they have affiliate accounts with.

has donated to legislation to abolish gay marriage in California.

What an absolute fuck-head

Because it’s fucking awesome. Here’s why I used* to use it:

• Built in email client
• Built in RSS reader.
• Themes and customisable UI (vertical tabs, bottom tags, tab previews, tab stacking)
• Built in ad blocker
• Sidebar with Mastodon, RSS, mail, translate, etc

*I use Floorp now cos I wanna support Mozilla/Firefox by upping the browser share numbers but Vivaldi is the best Chromium-based browser by far.

Fuck you spez!

I used to love Ubiquiti but they’re turning into cunts these days. I also heard there’s been a lot of people leave and low morale due to the enshitification of the products.

I’ve since put OpenWRT onto my ERX and ER4. Will likely put it on the UAP-LC next to get rid of it entirely.

They only harvest from sustainable phone forests. 👍

It’ll be shut down within 2yrs and forgotten. Just like their Mars & Moon Maps and a million other things.

Nothing Google dies excites or even interests me

What do you mean? I’m an Arch Priest! I help the scutters find Truth.

Because they haven’t ascended and continue to scrabble about like pigs in shit.

I tok great pleasure in making my Brexiter dad look a tit by asking what he disliked about the EU. “Well I’m sick of their human rights court telling us what to do! So I’m voting we leave the EU!”

Me: “But we’d still be covered by the ECHR. Are you thinking of the ECJ?”

I don’t speak to him anymore cos he’s a cunt*.

*Not politics - he’s just a cunt who doesn’t approve of my ‘lifestyle choices’ (childless, gay and mentally ill).

Oh they’re still trying to get out of the ECHR so they can deport people to Rwanda.

Are you saying Europe isn’t a country and the countries in Europe have their own laws and history?

Say it ain’t so!

Thanks!

Holy shit! That Swan guy is a fucking legend. I’ve never seen Trump get that hounded by a journalist before!! He needs to et this more often. Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?

Do you think everyone should agree with you always?

No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

I never, ever downvote unless it’s obvious link spam. If I feel strongly enough I tell the person they’re wrong and why. That’s what I believe in.

I am curious, what current of socialism do you subscribe to?

Libertarian Socialism. In the UK the closest parties/groups would be Black Rose Labour and/or Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour. The countries closest to my beliefs are Denmark, Iceland and Norway.

However, the people on Lemmy.ml took further offence when I suggested DPRK wasn’t a democratic country and they trotted out a list of articles on how democratic it really was. Then I was given a bunch of Stalin emojis of him pulling heart shapes with his hands.

I’m not a fan of autocratic dictatorships and I was dog-piled and taunted with a bunch of Stalinist and DPRK memes. Because apparently you’re not truly left-wing unless you worship Stalin and Kim.

I would have been happy to debate these points with them but unfortunately my reticence of autocratic dictatorships was considered far worse than what was directed at me in response.

Lemmy.ml is just as bad. I suggested Nicaragua wasn’t a democratic country. Holy shit!! I got downvoted to hell, pasted left and right. Given 24hr ban.

Then I got a 4-day ban cos I suggested “Tankies give socialists like me a bad name”. Fucking hell fire. I’m not going near any of their subs again.

They wanted to build one in London. We told them to fuck off.

I live a life of whimsical nonsense and was probably horny for a moment so just blurted out what was on my mind. I find it amusing the number of downvotes I got.
