Horses for courses.

That’s not a divorce-level crime. It’s execution-level.

Before displaying a page it searches the content and injects a referrer tag to the end of URLs that match certain things. This is done instantly.

E.g. If there’s a Binance URL on the page it’ll add something like ?ref=bravebrowser

Binance will pick up that tag and give them money for any sign ups. Brave do this for any crypto services they have affiliate accounts with.

What an absolute fuck-head

Because it’s fucking awesome. Here’s why I used* to use it:

• Built in email client
• Built in RSS reader.
• Themes and customisable UI (vertical tabs, bottom tags, tab previews, tab stacking)
• Built in ad blocker
• Sidebar with Mastodon, RSS, mail, translate, etc

*I use Floorp now cos I wanna support Mozilla/Firefox by upping the browser share numbers but Vivaldi is the best Chromium-based browser by far.

Fuck you spez!

I used to love Ubiquiti but they’re turning into cunts these days. I also heard there’s been a lot of people leave and low morale due to the enshitification of the products.

I’ve since put OpenWRT onto my ERX and ER4. Will likely put it on the UAP-LC next to get rid of it entirely.

Do you think everyone should agree with you always?

No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

I never, ever downvote unless it’s obvious link spam. If I feel strongly enough I tell the person they’re wrong and why. That’s what I believe in.

I am curious, what current of socialism do you subscribe to?

Libertarian Socialism. In the UK the closest parties/groups would be Black Rose Labour and/or Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour. The countries closest to my beliefs are Denmark, Iceland and Norway.

However, the people on Lemmy.ml took further offence when I suggested DPRK wasn’t a democratic country and they trotted out a list of articles on how democratic it really was. Then I was given a bunch of Stalin emojis of him pulling heart shapes with his hands.

I’m not a fan of autocratic dictatorships and I was dog-piled and taunted with a bunch of Stalinist and DPRK memes. Because apparently you’re not truly left-wing unless you worship Stalin and Kim.

I would have been happy to debate these points with them but unfortunately my reticence of autocratic dictatorships was considered far worse than what was directed at me in response.

Lemmy.ml is just as bad. I suggested Nicaragua wasn’t a democratic country. Holy shit!! I got downvoted to hell, pasted left and right. Given 24hr ban.

Then I got a 4-day ban cos I suggested “Tankies give socialists like me a bad name”. Fucking hell fire. I’m not going near any of their subs again.

“Nerd” 🤓

Why is it a good thing?

Because America believes it’s an exception and above everyone else.

Ah yes the oft-used American Exceptionalist attitude of “we’re too good to bind ourselves to treaties like this”.

Tale as old as time. It’s why the US isn’t a member of the ICJ and many other international treaties. King’s don’t follow rules - they make them!

Shame they don’t respect walrus!

Norwegians are bloodthirsty fucks!

They killed Freya the walrus cos people got close to her. Now they’re killing bent orcas.

Contrast that with England who let our walrus have a happy wank on the beach before he swam to the sunset.

I’d love a nice simple zippo like this. Fire is what makes us human so I’ve always felt a deep connection to it. It wouldn’t just be useful for so many things it’d also be great to fiddle with, whip out light it flip back and pocket. I also love the smell.

I need a Zippo!

Your Pi runs all that?! I’ve setup Homeassistant on a Tinkerboard and it’s slow as shit with nothing else running. :(

Holy shit!! I didn’t know I needed this. I’m so building some - thank you! 👍

I kept buying Pi Zero Ws, hats and phats then put them all in a drawer cos I couldn’t decide what to do with them. I think I’ve got about 7 or 8. I really should do something with them.
