It's fine to do that kind of work for free for the sake of creating and maintaining a nice community for something you enjoy. It's like charity work.

The problem is that there's a big company that's profiting massively from this 'charity work'.

Props to her for becoming a better person then she was before. Takes guts to take that stance, I'd say

Yeah, I'm all for bashing companies regarding privacy and whatnot, but this is just informing/warning you about account security.

Not wanting to date someone because of their beliefs sounds like a perfectly valid reason. Especially if those beliefs can impact someone's rights

My guess is because Brave is a relatively known Chromium browser that's been degoogled. Along with built in ad and tracker blocking, and it's an easy less evil of the two.

I want to like Firefox, both as normal user and as web developer, but something about it keeps bugging me. The UI feels sluggish, sites seem to be slightly less performant, and I can't seem to get used to it.

That said, I've started using Vivaldi, and while it can be considered bloated, I really like the tab options it has, while also offering a degoogled chromium that's being kept to date.

Non-US guy here. I don't get why there's a choice whether to vote for him or not, when you know the alternative is Trump.

It's clear Biden isn't a great option, and there's probably plenty of reasons not to want him. But is any of those reasons gonna get better in the next 4 years when his opponent would win?

It sounds like they don't really have a choice in this unless they completely switch up their internal search engines, right? Like, it's a shame, but not exactly something they're to blame for? Or am I missing something?

Imagine feeling like your phone's brand defines if you're poor or not lol

For me, the difference is how they go about doing it. The tracking Microsoft does is baked into the OS you use, for the sake of... well, not for seeing if people in your friends list also use Word or Teams.

Valve tracks a lot of data too, but also seems transparent about it. They show usercount, active players, it shows up for your Steam friends (if you want). And at the end of the day, they don't need to appeal to some shareholders. To me it feels like they track for the sake of their products, not for the sake of selling this data.

That said, I do think I'm pretty biased towards Valve in this, so I'm not sure how fair my view on it is

I like the contrast with this comment about how web is starting to do too much. I agree with both sentiments, so it would be great to find the golden mean.

I agree with the principle of it, but it's also a slow and tedious process, one that the complainer won't benefit from for years, if ever.

Not that you shouldn't do it, but it's not a solution to what happened here.

To be fair towards Reddit here, AI now is vastly different and more capable for this kind of stuff than it was years ago.

You're completely in your right to think that. I'm also glad there's an audience that thinks otherwise.

I get the sentiment, even though I wasn't too much a fan of the original series. That said, while sales don't equal quality, nor does sticking to the same thing. Changing style, direction or genre doesn't equal lack of quality. I was quite a fan of Origins and Oddysey.

The real risk is losing the original fanbase, which did happen quite a bit, probably.

I remember looking into that a while ago, but it's not like I can just instantly hook up my WhatsApp or Telegram account into that, right? I'd need a server to act as a bridge.

And I wouldn't be so keen on giving that kind of access to a random server.

Wouldn't surprise me if this rule would help with that. Removing a glass back has always been shit compared to just clicking off the plastic ones

No arguing there, the specific situation is shit either way

That sounds like it has to get worse before it can get better. Having trump would create motivation to improve things for getting a better candidate next election, something like that?

Doesn't sound like a great option either. It's not like there's a 'good' option, just a 'slightly better' one.

It was right before realizing I'm in a burnout. Too much in my private life going on, kids, housing, study, full time jobs.

The last time before that must've been years, but I've been holding it in for as long as I could, I now realize.

I've had it running with zero issues on my Steamdeck for a while now, so I'm guessing that, aside from some manual setup without SteamOS, proton should work just fine.
