Nah it's usually a RAM Cummins turbo diesel with an "I'd rather be cummin than stroking" sticker across the back window.

At this point there is a pretty solid list of reasons to avoid Brave and use another FOSS privacy focused option.

Personally, everything I've read about Brave makes me trust them even less than Microsoft, and Google.

Thats fair. I haven't really noticed any of those issues. For my use case of just organizing and streaming my desktop's media library to my TV, its fantastic.

The most infuriating thing about Plex for me was when they shifted to force you to start with their BS streaming service at open. I only used Plex for my personal media collection. So having to jump through a bunch of menus to get to the only thing I want to use in their app was the biggest reason to switch for me. Maybe there is a way to fix that, but I could never find one.

Jellyfin just does your personal media library and opens right up into it when the app starts. Its simpler, faster, and FOSS.

Jellyfin is so much better anyway. I used plex for years and it has steadily enshitified.

Just wait till the "AI" bubble bursts.

For real. Riding in 100F temps in anything but lycra is out of the question for me. The only time I don't wear my cycling clothes on a bike is when I am pulling my kid in the trailer and we will be stopping at all the playgrounds.

They have that "If you find the right blend of essential oils to rub onto your legs you will be able to walk again." energy.

I'm a road biker who occasionally dabbles in gravel and mountain biking.

I think the right wing hatred of cyclists comes down to two primary things:

1. They have road rage over being behind bikes on the road, so they "hate cyclists."
2. They equate lycra/spandex as being feminine or at least "non masculine" if not outright "gay."

They are usually cool with mountain bikers because they aren't "in their way" on the road, and usually are wearing baggy "manly" clothing.

I can relate so hard to this. Liberal/leftist hunting buddies are basically non existent.

Dude. This. I grew up camping. I am into bushcraft, survival stuff too, and every interesting survival youtuber seems like a ticking time bomb, if not already openly right wing crazy.

Just a couple fascist corps squabbling over AI slop. I hope they both lose.

You are talking about tankies. Who are so far left they made a lap back to authoritarianism. In no way do they represent most leftists.

I got my first one today. I feel like I have finally made it in the Fediverse.

I have a lot of fond nostalgia for Digg, and Kevin Rose, especially from the Tech TV days.

But reading this article doesn't exactly spark much excitement for me. In the end, it's just another centralized capitalist venture (now with AI slop from the start) that will end up enshitified in the pursuit of shareholder profits.

We are already using the alternative. Lemmy is the way forward for this format.

They forgot to add political stickers which make you a target for the extremists who don't agree with you.

Yes. I don't really buy white clothing for that reason. I also don't like black clothing because of lint showing up so easily. Plus it gets really hot where I live. Wearing black out in the sun is just extra miserable.

I can't be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It's just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn't hurt anything. It's a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.

Maybe. If you want to trade heartburn for intense diarrhea.

Biological alarm clock. AKA my kids wake me up.
