Do you know your neighbors? Maybe it’s time to get to know them.

Sorry I didn’t notice you in that balaclava, it makes you blend in with the darkness

Fuck, don’t tell the vegans.

It’s like how people say they’re going to delete their account and go outside.

Good, hopefully other shitty governments will copy the United States and just stop trying to send people to space, maybe focus the Space Force exclusively on destroying asteroids. I don’t want ads on the moon or in the sky all the time, and I don’t want people killing dogs by sending them into space. Seems shitty and like something I wouldn’t want.

Personally I don’t think we’re sabotaging each other enough. I don’t want fucking ads on the moon.

Fuck, they’re gonna put ads on the moon.

Well, I’m dumb and lazy, I don’t want to have to do a bunch of shit I guess.

Yeah, I guess I could do that, but aside from that, it is resource-intensive compared to forks.

How about we just stop doing sports? I remember the transgender sports thing, before that there was drug use in sports, to the point where smoking weed (not an athletic performance inhancer by any measure) could get athletes banned. How about we just ban sports. That seems to be what these conversations are leading towards anyway. It’s not just guns, because sometimes men who get emotional about sports will beat their families to death or something.

Or, maybe instead of banning sports, we still do sports, but everybody has to be naked like in ancient times, or maybe not naked but wearing a giant sign that says “I’m a douchebag” and when someone signs up for a sportsbetting site a paid intern just comes to their house and kicks them in the nuts

No, I mean the ads which are permanently pinned to the startpage. Of course I use uBlock Origin with Firefox forks, as most people do, but that doesn’t prevent the pinned ads from appearing in the startpage, at least not for me.

Vivaldi blocks ads and supports extensions

I could care less about the personal beliefs of the creator if the product works as intended, especially if funding the creator is optional

Persistent and unavoidable ads are the reason I don’t use original Firefox, so it’s the reason I don’t use Brave anymore. There were other issues too, and although it’s supposedly open source, the Palantir connection is shadier than their Prop 8 connection, which I don’t even consider that relevant since it was so long ago

Sometimes I’d prefer a polished product from a company with customers they expect to satisfy rather than a janky free product with ads. Their Leo AI and VPN, though it’s not something most people want, makes it more likely that Brave will have someone to be accountable for

‘Open source’ doesn’t mean anything to me unless it’s also audited by third party experts, not just talking about Brave right now but just generally. The company can literally just lie about what you’re clicking on, an educated expert who knows what they’re talking about needs to audit the software, I might not understand or see something in the code. At the end of the day you’re clicking on something from a website and downloading it.

I don’t think this user is aware that we’re using ‘malware’ literally

DuckDuckGo browser is so handy for so many reasons.
