Boy, thank God that you don't have to deal with the draconian legacy codebases that governments have. There's a reason no sane engineer wants to get even near them, and it's because any change, no matter how small it is, completely breaks the entire system and no-one knows how.

Sure, a new system could be developed from the side, but implies getting engineers in a higher level than interns and governments don't have good reasons to hire them. Their broken system gives them the perfect excuse for their bullshittery.

Given Web 3 was a shithole of a collective delusion, maybe don't.

And the last one is flipping him off.

Yet not many people can brag about breaking half of the internet in one swift blow.

Specially the shiny stuff.

I don't think we had trebuchets 15,000 years ago.

I remember seeing this song for the first time on a reddit thread like "You have to sing a complete song from memory, which song would you pick?". That guy pulled a galaxy brain move.

I guess they place it in the installer to make it easier to update? Note, I never used Brave in my life, so I don't really know how it works.

Why, hello there Anakin.

I agree that some distro desktop are good. Others are a pain in the ass in orders of magnitude never seen before.

But it will be hard to make Linux the default when many programs are made to target windows only and most people are already used to Window's fuckery.

The point I'm making is that it's not like Brave installed the VPN in secret, hidden away to it's own devices. The code is there and a service is installed, sure, but it's dormant until the user activates it.

Unfortunately, unless Microsoft fucks up BIG time and makes Windows simply unusable, people will continue to use it. I think the year of the Linux desktop will come by the time GTA VII gets released, once we all here are six feet under.

Pretty sure that when humanity dies, math dies with it, and the universe won't give two fucks about it and continue on it's merry way.

Firefox also installs telemetry and data reporting functions like most browsers, also libraries like libwebp, which are prone to critical vulnerabilities (as seen), encryption systems like Encrypted Client Hello, and software like Pocket, which some users never use, but it's still there.

Any browser will install many features that probably won't be used. Saying that a browser that installs a feature like Tor or VPN (which aren't even hidden, Brave publicly present those features) is automatically bad doesn't sound reasonable to me.

I don't think we're talking about the same Spacewar. The Spacewar I'm talking about is "used" by pirated games only to the extent that they make steam think the pirated game is spacewar, unlocking access to the steamworks API, including multiplayer support.

Spacewar enters the chat

You know Firefox installs a bunch of stuff by default as well, right?

Someone could have hidden something malicious within your ideas, better create a whole new conceptual system.

It did sound a bit like you were cheering for it, but I understood the message you were trying to transmit.

Not being a hip new language is an advantage on my books, and on many others'. PHP has been battle-tested and was once (and in a way, still is) a pillar of the internet. Stability always trumps novelty. Rust wasn't exactly created with the internet in mind, but PHP was, and it's way easier to find PHP developers than it is to find Rust developers (last time I checked).

Though the performance boost provided by Rust over PHP is not something to be ignored, though servers written in C or C++ have also been around for quite a while, and PHP still managed to trump many of them.
