remember the real reason he bought Twitter was to influence the 2024 election and stop any kind of leftist organizing on the site

I'm no Biden stan, but I am a progressive, and he has definitely been more progressive than Obama was. Obama was a great president aka being a public figure/speaker, but Biden has had a much more progressive policy agenda and I'm all for that

I can't tell if this is a joke about people not doing their part, or if the gif genuinely didn't load.. 🤔

Pi hole doesn't block youtube ads. Since they are served through the youtube.com domain, you'd be blocking youtube as well

Obama campaigned as a progressive and governed as a liberal. The world changing had nothing to do with it

EDIT: For instance, he ran on making abortion rights law, but once elected with a supermajority he switched gears and said it was not a high priority.

Every single one of these Brave "scandals" are so irrelevant and meaningless. I was hoping the reddit hive mind wouldn't be brought over to lemmy, but here we are.

This article, especially after the update from Brave, seems like a huge nothing-burger. Just another excuse for the Firefox Fanatics crowd to rag on Brave and circlejerk each other about how good Firefox is.

The article isn't even about Brave Browser, and it has nothing to do with user data. The website owner is mad that Brave Search is crawling their site and using data in their "Summarizer" feature. I thought Firefox users were supposed to be against the Google internet monopoly, but apparently when it comes to one of the only companies with their own independent and actually decent search engine, they don't seem to care anymore because of stupid "Firefox good brave bad" browser wars nonsense.

I can absolutely understand that point of view and even agree to an extent.

However, as a counterpoint: creative people being able to support themselves with their work means they can focus on their art instead of it just being a side hobby to their money making job

I wish I did this. I went to check if there were any signs of the protest and couldn't help but contribute to one of the "fuck spez" signs

I then realized that place already felt kind of overdone last time they did it, this time it just feels completely meaningless

It shows people that it's not just trans people at risk due to this violent rhetoric the right spews. Everyone is at risk of being targeted even if they are perceived as trans.

I'm a cis man, but I don't have the deepest voice, and I've been worried about this kind of thing happening for a while since I live in the south, and it looks like I was right to worry.

The death of the old internet continues..

I need a philosophy major to chime in on this one

I've barely used mine. I just didn't think through what use case I'd have for it and bought it since it was cool. I don't travel much and I usually only want to game when I'm home anyway, where I use my main gaming rig. I thought I would use the deck in bed, but I find that it's not as enticing as I thought it would be

been meaning try and sell it while it's still got some value tbh, it's basically brand new even though I've had it for nearly a year

for real though.. as an American I would love if we were 11 years behind the EU in lots of other areas

the lack of depth was what really made the game a disappointment

this right here. I didn't experience any bugs at all on pc but the game is just bad, the world doesn't feel lived in, and the gameplay is just meh (some guns were fun though)

Just don't use a VPN on their site or they will lock your account for days pending review for "suspicious activity"

I stopped using them after that

I agree the crypto stuff is super annoying, but it's a really nice and clean browser after you disable all that and tweak the settings (which you'd probably want to go through and configure with a new browser anyway)

and iirc Proton took the Swiss government to court after that and won a case reclassifying email legally so that they can't be forced to disclose IPs like that again in the future

it was a little over the top, but it was at least kind of cool.

s3 spoilers below

the show really jumped the shark for me with the nasa terrorist attack and Ed making that impossible landing which all the scientists said was impossible

also I hated that they introduced that Russian guy that got Ed's daughter pregnant only to kill him off. it just seems like they started going for shock value at some point

let's go ahead and let companies have a standing military while we're at it :D

omg it's network chuck!
