  • I think many people don’t like it conceptually because the advertising for Brave is:

    Built in Privacy + Crypto + Ad Blocking

    Firefox + uBlock Origin suffices well enough for most people. It’s stable, suits the purpose, and separates them from a company entangled with crypto.

    Everyone is just trying to do their best to balance convenience with the social impacts of their actions. People make change because they care, either altruistically or personally, but it always comes with some sort of personal cost. Putting your neck out there and trying to make a change is more important than any specific browser choice




  • I would love to see an actual source/docs stating 1875 is a commonly used epoch, rather than microblog posts. Either bring hard facts or shut up, because…

    Arguing over the epoch completely misses the obvious refutation. If there’s errors in the database, that might be because there’s hundreds of millions of individuals represented in the DB, and no data should be made to be perfect at the cost of people starving. I would posit the bigger a tech system gets, the more social constraints it will acquire. The errors in the database could mean there’s underserved people, and we should fund efforts to represent these people, so their needs can be met. What errors don’t mean is that the SSA is being defrauded to such an extent that it should be shut down, but the way Musk has worked his claim makes that implication natural.

    The epoch could be yesterday or at the building of the tower of Babylon and it doesn’t matter, they’ll just deflect and say there’s people who are ageless in the dataset who are defrauding the system and it’s all corrupt

    This article gives validity to opinions of idiots meddling. This is implicit, and perhaps accidental, complicity in an outrageous government outreach. Musk is actively tearing down the government.

    Sure tech is cool, but it’s nowhere near as important as the social issues surrounding it and for a tech based newspaper to ignore that basic fact is embarrassing




  • Yep, my block list is long. It’s updated occasionally. I call it “weeding the digital garden”. Negatively sprouts everywhere and it’s imperative to cull it asap.

    The way I see it there’s far too many things in the digital world to care about, so I just care about basically none of them. I’d rather spend energy loving the people I love than being angry at what I see on the internet.

    The internet is full of slacktivism and I find it’s more worthwhile to do something good rather than critiquing the bad and doing nothing.
