After a significant amount of time. Longer than Brave's blunders. And rehabilitation is not erasure. Likewise, murder enough and society will consider to instead remove the person from society as well instead of rewarding them.

Murderer is a noun. Once you've murdered that's what you are, regardless of past or present or future. People can change, but that doesn't change what you've done in the past and have become, because you can't undo what you did.

6 months to 5 years isn't "A long time ago" btw. I think it takes at least a decade to start considering something a long time ago.

That's a really concise and thoughtless way to excuse Google, Microsoft and Apple for monetizing spying on every person on earth for profit.

Nice strawman you got there. I think anyone with eyes can see I didn't bring them up because most (all?) Lemmy users know Firefox and its forks exist.

And yes, Linux distros have a business model. I'm happy that distros found a business model through offering official support to corporations, it makes it truly free to the rest of us. It also helps that their competition is very expensive. Will that model work for a browser? What do you think?

That's... Literally how browsers used to work. Netscape was a paid browser. Orion is starting to look into that model as well.

And yes, you just pointed out of possible to raise funds without pulling the shit Brave has, as Linux distros have done... So, congrats on getting the point? A little slow, but you got there.

It's still being kept up to date, just not getting new features, and the security issues have been patched up as they come along. It's not a dead project yet. Maintaining Librewolf isn't impossible since Firefox is doing the heavy lifting.

The main issue is mostly that it relies on Firefox.

Honestly, I don't mind the paid browser route. Browsers, and a lot of software, used to be paid, and it feels like things were less shit when some of it was.

I think ideally we'd see 2 versions of software like some used to be in the 90s - a free, stripped down version that only does basic functions (think Microsoft WordPad Vs Microsoft Word) and a pair full version. This model can still allow FOSS to exist as well, like perhaps having LibreOffice as is, and then having an enterprise version that has additional networking features and support that's paid for businesses, with all money from that going into the maintenance of LibreOffice.

First of all, @Ulrich@feddit.org , thanks for calling out the bullshit of this professional far right fire hydrant apologist. You've stayed on track with the main issue of their argument despite them wanting to hide attention away from it.

The reason their propaganda sounds reasonable is because it pretends to be rational and sounds calm, when in reality it's ignoring extremely glaring issues. In one of these cases for example, it's pretending that funding intolerance isn't intolerance. Another is ignoring details, such as how the crypto scam was essentially malware, and did cause performance hits to devices using Brave (part of the reason why it was caught).

Second of all, for everyone following along this far, I just want to point out the false equivalency between something like hard drugs and gambling - things that literally statistically bring literal harm - to marriage.

And finally, we're done entertaining, bullshit in the tea - that's why Teslas are burning. Remember that when shit hits the fan.

Holy copium batman, imagine excusing malware and checks notes literally aiding in denying rights to LGBTQ+ people.

Let me guess, you pretend to be centrist by day, and you wear

By night?

This is like saying "I see he was murderer until he got caught". No shit Sherlock some of those are past tense, because he got caught. If you want to go ahead and get exploited by a dickhead and his future pending scams go ahead.

"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, and apparently I end up supporting the right wing all the time because I'm a dunce" is apparently how it works these days.

That's a long winded way to try to excuse secretly mining crypto, far right misinformation pushing, transgender phobia, and more that Brave does / has done.

I also want to point out an operating system is a huge project to create and maintain, and yet Linux has accomplished this without all the shit Brave has pulled.

PS: technically Brave has used ads as well.

I've heard the Ocarina of Time start screen song multiple times, in phone hold music as well as an elevator, in multiple countries.

I also heard the song of storms once on a phone hold music.

But what's wild to me is that if you stay up late at night on the cruise ship from Finland to Sweden, this plays.

That's already an existing large cult. We were talking about hypothetically starting a new one run by op on this land.

Marketing.

But first you need the idea. I'd say leftwing based religious science compatible apocalyptics is an untapped market. So basically make a bunker commune for societal collapse based on climate change and say all the current right wing politicians are demons accelerating it to bring upon hell on earth, and that oil is the devil's blood.

Just off the top of my head that's an idea.

This does sound extremely useful and good.

I'd say the only issues software like this have is there's a lack of beginners guides to self hosting, so people either know too little and instantly have their server botted / hacked, or know enough to be too paranoid and afraid to set up their own server because they know of the risks.

As for me though, I'll probably look into implementing this and play around with it for our DnD group first.

Explain more of this Jitsi, sounds interesting for my business

It's Nicole's master plan

What? You don't run your hard drives in the oven while baking brownies? It makes them zesty.

Actually even if somehow all environmental pollution stopped at once, assuming it stops before a runaway event too, it would still take a long time for some greenhouse gasses to not have an effect. And that's not even getting into PFAS and adjacent chemicals and microplastics as macro plastics break down.

So either way, should still expect things to get worse for a while even if somehow everyone actually banded together to make things better.

PS: the math is pretty certain on some of this stuff too.

I get the sentiment, but wouldn't you be more effective at that point from attacking within enemy lines?

Speaking from personal experience, most likely immigrants who don't know much about us politics and still watch news and shows from their home country or in their own language.

Growing up, even though I was born in the USA, I'd only listen to what my parents heard (until I was a teen), watched what they watched (Univision, etc), are mostly Salvadorian food at home.

Yeah, basically a defense mechanism to the world going to hell between the rise of authoritarianism, stupidity, war, feudalism 2.0, microplastics, and the increasing severity of climate change that will only worsen much more.

Well, in that case, I hope it gets forked into a super gay version in the future lol

At least there's other projects too...
