Tommy Tuberville Proclaims Ukraine ‘Can’t Win’ Over Russia: ‘It’s a Junior High Team Playing a College Team’

  • I read in books how common it is, but seeing it happen in that WikiLeaks helicopter video made me feel sick for a week.

    I hated imperialism (especially US) way before but I'll never forget how they killed these journalists only to mow down random villagers who only wanted to help.

  • I remember how maglev was supposed to be the future when I was growing up but most European projects went way over budget and were eventually scrapped so I'm really happy to see that the Chinese finished this thing and that it actually works and delivers in terms of speed.

    This feels so much more futuristic than boring tunnels.

    • [Solved] Can't send selected pirated ebooks through the Send-To-Kindle service to my Kindle. Is it some kind of background piracy detection?

    Jump

  • You don't have to convert to mobi anymore. The Kindle backend supports epub for a couple of months already. I've also read reports that Kindle's can now convert ePub by themselves if you copy ePub files via cable but I haven't verified that myself.

    Jump

  • Can confirm, though it's unlikely to be some piracy check. The epub just has a couple of errors that might make it difficult for Amazon's server-side epub parsing implemention:

    Unfortunately I couldn't find any other epub versions. Though I just discovered the Kindle ePub fix project and converted the ePub to a fixed version using the en language tag. That seems to work because the book just showed up in my Kindle library. :)

    • Do you trust Brave company and their products: Browser, Search, VPN, etc..?

    Jump

  • I don't know about this take. I'm not sure how serious you are about it, but imagine a web without Javascript. Perhaps we'd all be using proprietary abominations such as Java or Flash today, not knowing what would've been possible with a more open, albeit somewhat clunky, programming language that's supported by every browser.

  • Can't reproduce on the most recent stable version of Brave on Android 13 (Pixel 7 Pro). Tried multiple mirrors on Anna's Archive.

    • How many of you were using Digg during its prime?

  • Almost never did, to be honest, but I'm sure I missed out on a lot of interesting stuff because of it.

    Jump

  • You're right, it's definitely fishy and his claim doesn't seem to hold up. According to Wellfound (previously Angellist) Brave was seed funded by Founders Fund with 4,5mil USD, which brings them close to owning 10% of Brave, though possibly with some dilution, because Chinese company Qihoo 360 provided 2,5mil USD in seed funding in 2015 already. I don't think it's likely that any "[...] first floor engineers at Brave" have a bigger equity, if I'm not completely misunderstanding how these equity valuations work.

    It's definitely suspicious. Since I'm inbetween moving browsers from Chrome to Brave right now, I'll have to dig deeper into this and maybe switch to Firefox again. Though Mozilla has their own issues.

    Sigh. Thanks for your reply!

    • What are your thoughts on restricting children’s access to pornography online?

    Jump

  • The government has way too much influence over children already. Governments could do so much for children that would actually benefit them (better education, free lunch at school, better public libraries, ensure no kids are starving because of poor parents, no wars in foreign countries, whatever) but instead they use children to increase their control over people.
