Decomposing the current time into prime factors. 24-hour-format, only one minute time, then the next one.

Valid question. Im short: They will stop working.

You are getting downvoted for the question because most people here think that you shouldn't use them. And they might be right.

Lmao

While I'm at it, what is the community opinion on NoScript? The first few weeks were a bit of a pain, but now it is actually quite convenient.

I read about one. Let me see if I can still find it..

Edit: I can't.

Thanks for your reply! Is the web annoyances list better than the built-in one in uBO. Should I disable the standard one?

OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice?

Are you shocked about the play or her response? Tbh I think it is a great opportunity to discuss Climate Change, demographic change, human rights,... at school.

Well, I guess that is exactly the problem: No guarantee that some method will work.

I disagree on the painful part. The lutris install is basically 1-click.

According to your logic, 30% of words would satisfy this property.

1. Accordion
2. Antenna
3. Banana
4. Character
5. Deceived
6. Elephant
7. Greening
8. Harbinger
9. Insignia
10. Knowledge

GPT-4, prompt: "List 10 words that start and end with the same letter but are not palindromes."

Even without the palindrome condition, it got some of these and a few palindromes.

Thaaaaaanks! 🫶

I am on 0.48 and it's not there. And the 0.49 beta isn't showing this in the release notes at all.

You can pay via Crypto/bank transfer and probably with cash soon.

The Discord thing is a valid point.

I don't agree on the trust part with you. EVERY SOFTWARE we use boils down to trust. Because let's be honest, we all don't read the source code. (most of the time)

And finally there are downsides to such messages: Where do they stop? If someone searches for how to suicide, they should be getting relevant information for their query. Overall, I thought that if you find all the aforementioned things bad, you might like this one. From a liberal perspective, this is great.

Weeeeeird, I asked him on Mastodon, let's see what he says.

From the linked source (2023), which I assume you can understand as a German speaker:

4. Fazit

Insgesamt hinterlässt Brave einen durchwachsenen Eindruck. Die Voreinstellungen des Browsers sind nicht ideal. [...]

Unklar bleibt, ob man zur A/B-Testgruppe gehört und welche Daten dabei an die Domain »variations.brave.com« fließen. Ebenfalls fragwürdig ist die Abfrage von Affiliate-Domains über die Domain »laptop-updates.brave.com«.

Passt man die Voreinstellungen an und installiert keine weiteren Add-ons, hat man einen Chromium-Ableger, der offenbar keine Verbindungen zu Google initiiert, aber dennoch unnötige Verbindungen beim Start aufbaut. So ganz passt die Außendarstellung bzw. das Versprechen zum Schutz der Privatsphäre nicht zum tatsächlichen Verhalten in der Praxis.

Can you link to where he says he uses Brave? Maybe I'm wrong here, but this seems sceptical.

More quotes:

In der Empfehlungsecke findet ihr einige Suchmaschinen, die ich für empfehlenswert halte. Brave Search gehört nicht dazu.

Ich erhalte oftmals die Frage, weshalb ich den Brave-Browser nicht empfehle und wieso ich nicht am Brave-Rewards-Programm teilnehme. Zunächst einmal basiert der Browser auf Chrome – das genügt für mich schon, um einen möglichst weiten Bogen darum zu machen. [...] Als datenschutzsensibler Nutzer verzichte ich darauf gerne. Auch das »Werbekonzept« finde ich wenig überzeugend.

(I really don't want to be toxic, but at least the Mike Kuketz talk is you spreading misinformation)

Mike Kuketz called Brave ambivalent and saif that their outward presentation does not match the Browsers behaviour

BTW, another argument is: Don't use Chromium-based browsers, browser engine diversity is important for an open web.

To be fair, at this point it is LaTeX or raw txt.
