ICE Kills Yet Another Protestor, A Study in r/Conservative Censorship

Reply in thread

I'll preface this with things on the internet are not always factual.

In addition to that, I was mistaken, it wasn't total traffic, just the two most active users didn't post at all on the day the Ukrainians attacked the power grid...

The other statistics in this thread are eye opening for normal people, if they are accurate.

Waterfox to integrate Brave adblock engine, with search ads enabled by default

The comments here really put into perspective how many people don't actually read the articles linked.

They're using the open source ad block library from brave, largely because of licensing, but keeping text search ads for the default search engine (Start page) enabled because that is part of how Waterfox makes money.

It's just an integrated adblocker.. It's not enabled for anyone using an ad blocker already and for new users.. you can shut it off and still use uBlock Origin instead.

Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects

Reply in thread

The AI code thing is geared towards vibe coded projects. Using AI to clean it doesn't mean it's vibe coded.

Codeberg e.V. members voted to ban projects that “mostly” consist of code written by generative AI tools.

You can argue, it's hard to prove that etc, etc... But you need to remember that they have limited funds/storage and if vibe coders start using that storage with dead-end projects, that can be a problem.
