punctuation lice

if that’s a reference to something I don’t know it. I searched online, got nothing that made any sense

Simple, easy to remember. I like it

Sir, I’m going to have to give your restaurant and F on the health inspection You have a rat infestation

Joe Swanson can walk in that movie

All you gave me was a link to the front page of duckduckgo And by the way, duckduckgo broke their promise not to tailor results several years ago and still tailors results now

Here’s what proton Lumo could find about the allegation you just brought up with no evidence

Brendan Eich—co‑founder of Brave—has publicly disclosed one political contribution that often comes up in discussions about him: in 2008 he gave US $1,000 to California’s Proposition 8, the ballot measure that sought to ban same‑sex marriage in the state. That donation was made years before Brave existed (the browser launched in 2016) and was aimed at a social‑policy cause, not at supporting the browser or its development.

There’s no record of Eich (or Brave Software) making a monetary donation to a third‑party organization specifically to promote or fund Brave. Instead, Brave’s growth has been financed primarily through:

Venture funding and private investment – early rounds led by investors such as Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, and others. Revenue from the Brave Rewards program – a portion of the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ecosystem that shares ad revenue with users and publishers. Partnerships and affiliate programs – e.g., collaborations with nonprofits like Japan’s “Code for Everyone” (Minna no Code) where users can direct BAT earnings to the cause, but these are partnerships, not donations from Eich himself. So, while Eich did donate $1,000 to Prop 8, that contribution was unrelated to Brave and did not serve to support the browser’s development or promotion. The browser’s financing comes from venture capital, its own ad‑revenue model, and strategic partnerships rather than personal charitable donations from its creator.

So he donated to a group that also supported prop 8. To be perfectly clear, I don’t think any marriage sanctions by the government needs to be a thing. If you want to be committed to someone or even more than one person, as long as you’re all consenting adults and you’re all keeping the sexual things you do with each other private and out of sight of anyone who doesn’t want to see it, you do you

Brave Browser’s CEO is an anti LGBT+ bigot.

what did he say that makes you think that? Do you even know what he said? or are you going to be yet another person who has said that to me who never answers that question?

the moment that Brave stops working well is the moment I stop praising it.

unlike chrome and firefox, it’s easy to turn off the crap in brave, the options to turn those things off are right in plain sight and easy to figure out

I’m not so sure how politics got into a web browser with integrated adblocking though. Supposedly the creator of Brave was fired from mozilla for being a bigot. But no one who says that has ever been able to tell me what he said that was so horrible that he had to be fired. Which leads me to believe it’s either a flat out lie that didn’t happen at all or it was blown out of proportion

on top of that, Google’s war on adblockers is more than just blocking you from accessing youtube, there’s also lots of google-funded propaganda about the makers of adblocking software and the software its self. But it’s not just google funding that kind of propaganda it’s all the other malware companies funding it too.

what do I mean by “malware companies”? all online advertising is malware and blocking it should be considered part of any security setup

Brave browser can block all third party cookies and delete the ones from any website you close all tabs from if you don’t want the cookies from those sites to be saved

they got rid of the “don’t” part about the same time they bought youtube or so…maybe they waited until the moment they started auto-un-subbing people from certain channels, that’s where everything really got fucked up, it started from that

“google mislead ____ about privacy”…no! Really?! They would never!

It limits usb to just charging when device is locked, so I don’t see how something could get through.

Sounds like someone hasn’t heard of exploits.

this is supposed to be new information to people in this community?

I swear 99% of the posts I see here are just shit that I learned about right after the Snowden leaks…are people really that stupid that they can’t remember that what Snowden warned us about is still happening?

you know what? as I was typing that, I realized that people don’t know that Edward Snowden isn’t the wikileaks guy…so yes, people are indeed that stupid

you’d be surprised to find out that’s not entirely true…I’m sure it stops some, but there’s a lot more it doesn’t stop

my only advice, don’t do it without a VPN, proton, ivpn or mullvad

with ivpn and proton, be sure to have some other stuff open on the same device to make some extra noise to help prevent fingerprinting the traffic

with mullvad, enable DAITA, matter of fact, use DAITA whenever you’re using mullvad, it makes things a bit slower, but it’s worth it to not have to worry about any AI finding a pattern in your traffic

This isn’t new. Anyone who doesn’t have their webcams covered with white tape is an idiot

most likely, yes. It’s shocking how shitty the security measures are on so many things.

There was a game a few years ago where the DRM was so insanely aggressive it wouldn’t accept a legitimate key, and it only took about 2 minutes to break the DRM

Ever wonder why big tech companies go through data-breaches constantly? but 0% of privacy friendly things ever have that problem?

That’s because your data on those privacy friendly services is encrypted with its own key so anyone who wants to break in and steal data would need to break into each account one at a time…so that’s why facebook, google and amazon have databreaches all the time. because of a combo of shitty security and social engineering

privacy friendly services don’t allow their workers to have the ability to give away the goods

I’ll give you that, but I blame the public schools for conditioning kids into not using their brains

but a safe that doesn’t have anything digital inside of it wouldn’t run a python script

An insider threat was basically the only kind possible, but the only “hacked” output would just be a failed “off” state, which wouls be replaced.

Exactly, the computers that used to control our nukes were so old and so simple that they literally can’t do anything but what they were designed to do, they require physically inserting old floppy disks and manually entering codes to access, no network access, no ability to multitask, so malware can’t run in parallel with the other process…singular for the word “process” because those old computers can’t multitask

now they’re using modern computers that just recently got hacked with a sharepoint vulnerability…by the way, a whitelisting application that indiscriminately blocks everything that hasn’t already been allowed to run would’ve blocked the processes of that exploit and prevented anything from happening…I actually use something like that on my windows PCs

All those prehistoric old farts in our government thought that would be an “upgrade” and then they probably just used norton to secure it because they’re too stupid to research anything that might be better

Mechanical safes only, no electricity needed, no hacking possible…just like the computers we used to use to control nukes. Which could literally only do the one thing they were designed to do and nothing else, they couldn’t be hacked
