We need a web biometrics API, fuck web integrity

So the subscribe page is going to start working normally again??

I'm gay and I'm from New York ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

There were 3 points:

1. CEO is a dick: not enough of a reason
2. Swapping ads: I have ads disabled anyways so what do I care. If I did care I wouldn't block ads in the first place

3.1. Promoting/friendships with crypto: ¯(ツ)_/¯

3.2. Privacy leak: it happens ¯(ツ)_/¯

3.3. Partnering with weird people: ¯(ツ)_/¯

3.4. IS AN ADVERTISING PLATFORM: ¯(ツ)_/¯

I've been using brave for over a year. I can't remember the last time I saw an ad on my screen. Now there might very well have been some But I have no memory of it.

Why was appointing Eich as CEO so controversial? It's because he donated $1,000 in support of California's Proposition 8 in 2008, which was a proposed amendment to California's state constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

Besides this I cannot find another good reason not to use brave. Nobody point to a specific line of code that ruins privacy, not enough reasons.

The cake is a lie

And there's the limiting factor. Since there's no way to reverse capital punishment like you can just take someone out of jail; A jury has to have absolutly no doubt and no more possible questions before deciding that this criminal can or can't change. The bar for capital punishment should the 1000 times higher than the next highest bar. It is because of my stance that I'm upset at how often people are condemed to death, capital punishment is being used too loosely and if society isn't capable of dispationatly executing a failed human and instead choose to take their feelings out on the bad guy then captial punishment should be banned.

I don't see what's wrong with acknowledging the fact that some humans are objectivly failures and have no place being compared to the average person. There aren't that many of them, most people (like 98%) are good people and will never beable to be judged like this because noone can possibly be holier than everyone. It's not a hard stance, its a system of value that acknowledges that some people are not actually people. It' noones fault until it can be proven to be someones fault and when it happens you have to clean up.

What about when a we decide a whole group of people aren’t people?

Ok, bear with me. It's actually as easy as not deciding that groups of people aren't people. Right? You don't have to do that, there's no rule requiring you to do it. People aren't groups and groups aren't people.

That’s happened multiple times throughout history.

We're all collectively better than those people for these simple facts:

• we don't drink the water we shit in
• we wash our hands
• we comprehend the fact that people are worth more alive than dead

A stupidly high price requires a stupidly high bar. The bar isn't high enough.

The death penalty isn't about punishing criminals.

Society as a whole decides that due to a person's actions and values they can no longer qualify as a person like the rest of us. To be a person you are required to value people's lives. There is no room for choice or debate about this matter, it doesn't matter what your religion or your heritage is, if you are a person, you're required to value the life of other people.

When failure cases like this guy and Dylan roof show up, we have to judge whether or not they're capable of valuing life and if they're not then they're not people. It's that simple. And if you're not a person, your livestock and human livestock is pretty damn worthless, so you might as well slaughter them on the spot.

Liftoff is opensource

I feel like I shouldn't be shocked by this. I feel this is kind of obvious that if there's data for sale then intelligence agencies which just buy it.

I thought I was crazy but I've been experiencing this too

But isn't that the move? YouTube pays their content creators.

My friend gave me a milk box they snatched from a highschool. My 24yo ass drank that box in the middle of New York happily. Tickled a core memory. No one cared.

Dang, I guess this would take an organized effort to code review every FAANG supported opensource project, but this is another thing I keep hearing and I want to discuss.

Usage of any chromium probably aids Google’s web takeover in someway or another.

Why?

Linus Torvald doesn't "take over" 95% of all computers on the internet. And why, because he can't. He can push a change to the linux repo to collect telemetry and show an ad whenever a command finishes. He's allowed to do that, there's no rule against it (AFAIK & "in-general").

Google can push whatever telemetry collecting code they want to the chromium repo. They're allowed to do that, there's no rule against it (AFAIK & "in-general").

Nobody has to take those changes.

None of the major distros have to take Linus's telemetry collecting changes, and no chromium browser has to take Google's telemetry collecting changes. Thats the thing about opensource, its that once you publish something with an open-source license you also give up authority to decide what direction it goes, sure you can want everybody to use your code with your special feature that only benefits you. You can want whatever you want. Nobody has to do what you want to in the opensource community, and nobody is gonna take changes from Google which include adblocker-blockers, telemetry trackers, or DRM systems. Opensource is pretty much already federated, just fork a repo and take pull requests to your own standard, your allowed to do that.

Think about it like this: why would Microsoft (Google's competetor) use chromium for their own closed source proprietary browser that they designed to make a profit for them?

I thought Git was a blockchain. Isn't it?

Honestly, I put some effort into get some of their reputation points. Then I asked one question that I didn't realize was dumb and I can't post questions anymore. You're welcome to see my profile and try to figure out how I did it 👍
