Oh wait hey you're on my instance. Cool! We're such small one lol
It's an elite club. -
They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.
Exactly, how do you even fight with the OS except just making it bit hard for them lol. You have to tell the OS what pixels to put in the screen, there's literally no way you can hide things from the OS if they want to know.

What? When was the last time you tried Linux?
With flatpak, it’s usually a one-click process to install anything nowadays.
Except:
- Most of them are bundled terribly, forcing you to use flatseal or similar to make it work - way to much to do and understand for the average user
- Roughly half of all the programs I install are flatpaks, and the other half are appimages. They both largely work the same, but the fact that there's a difference will be crippling to the average user. Especially if you ask them to choose between one or the other
- Believe it or not, a lot of people are not comfortable with the app store mentality flatpak seems built around. Googling "chrome download" is far more ingrained in the average person. Aside from browsers and projects of similar scope, this is difficult to achieve on linux
Can 800 year old grandma Doris use the feature? Can the average person who writes comments on YouTube videos? Minion meme posting facebook aunts? If not, it's not ready for mainstream.

Linux blocks that "feature" too...

If fascism was a passive philosophy that didn't hurt anyone then you might have a point. But as you can see recently it's extremely dangerous and ruins lives.
You may not want to mingle with politics, but it doesn't have the same view.
Yep, everything is politics whether we like it or not.

Of course that's not possible, the issue here is being aware and not caring and in some cases supporting it for convenience and selfishness.
How does me using brave browser supports fascism?

If it was intentional double entendre then I retract my comment, but used in the context of "bugs and features" there's a contextual implication.
It was wordplay, yes.

I still have literally thousands of clients that use Windows and want support... for these kinds of things. Firefox has recently stopped working on a few things and Brave works better for me right now. It's not convenience when FF doesn't work...
But I digress, Win 11 here and Brave. My choices, for lots of reasons. Lots of linux boxes as well though. Each to their own and all that -

In this thread something I see a lot on lemmy is happening. Maybe someone can give me a hint on how that happens. The post itself is 90% upvotes, while the comment section is really anti-Brave (for good reasons). Do most upvotes come from people scrolling through without looking at the comment section and those with an opinion on the topic dive into it?

But it’s funded by an unrepentant homophobe! How can you pass on that?!
An unrepentant homophobe who accused people who dislike him for his homophobic views/actions as being closed-minded and bigoted for disliking him over it.
You can't make this shit up

The better option would be to not use spyware as an operating system.

How does me using brave browser supports fascism?
In my country, one of the most successful supermarkets is run by a fascist and he uses part of his fortune to finance our local fascist party, which is gaining strength every year by the way. Do we support fascism by buying in that supermarket? What if we suddenly started to boycott the supermarket to hell?
My point is that they earn profits by using their services and in today's society money is power. And from where the CEO got his power? From the millions of people with the mindset of "if it benefits me I don't care".

Not interacted doesnt mean it's non-existant.
It exists and therefore it's bad enough.it’s bad enough.
This is debatable. i find some that people hate on AI and crypto regardless of it's implementation

I’ve noticed this on political posts too, among others and I’ve wondered the same thing.

I think you should not downvote a post you have a negative opinion about.
If the post is worth to discuss then why should I not upvote the post and then say that I disagree in the comments.
If we all down vote those posts nobody will see it (apart of those who sort by controversial) and there will be no discussion. -
My point was that brave's solution, like Signal's, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don't want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.
No way they'd do that though, because then they'd have the mouse and the other members of the content mafia breathing down their necks.

The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.
To me the karma system is about quality. Not an "I agree/disagree" button.
For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

As does Linux.
You use Linux? Here take this you've earned it

Brave is connected to the BAT pay-to-surf scam. Its CEO donates to homophobic causes.
