I mean, she should have just complied, I don’t understand why she thought refusing and driving the car into a wall would have had a better result… That being said the cop is absolutely in the wrong, even before the situation escalated he was pointing his gun straight towards the women’s face, which is unacceptable.

In other news: the sky is blue

It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.

Whether its lemmy or mastodon, or kbin that grows, we’re all benefiting. That’s the beauty of federation.

This is why brave exists as a good middle-ground

Why exactly?

Because with firefox, they’d have to install arkenfox’s userjs, change some defaults like the search engine from being google out of the box & add ublock origin, for it to be an alternative. Which for some people is overly complicated, in which case brave comes in handy where you just install it and don’t need to change any settings. It doesn’t use google for search, sync & google safe browsing are implemented in a privacy respecting way, it has an adblock & some resistance to fingerprinting ootb.

Now librewolf does exist as a firefox based browser with good defaults, but on windows unless you’re using a package manager, it won’t auto update.

crypto snowball scheme attached

which is opt-in.

Damn, 3 days 0 days without anti-brave browser propaganda, so lets break down this article:

Do you use linux? Go look up all the nasty stuff stallman’s said and firmly believes in. I don’t see people boycotting gnu which is a vital part of linux as a result of this, I myself still use it, because you should never mix politics with software. If the software works as it should, why do the author’s politics make a difference? A lot of praised artwork was made by artists who went mad. Similarly, I’ve heard the creator of lemmy has some questionable views, I don’t see people spreading anti-lemmy propaganda.

The same also applies with microsoft, if you use windows. Or apple, with macos. They’re no saint either.

The Ad Experiments

is Opt in… Come on at least try out something before you write a whole article on it.

Some ranting about the opt in crypto

Mentioned above.

adding affiliate codes to some URLs typed into the address bar

Again shows that they never actually tried the browser, they’re just jumping on the hate bandwagon. It never “rewrote” url’s, or “hijacked” anything, it suggested them, which the user could optionally click on, this is a very significant difference to “hijacked”, or “rewrote” as that’d be malicious, whereas with this approach the user chooses. This was later removed.

use vivaldi

Vivaldi is not comparable brave in terms of all the hardening they’ve done. Firefox is a great alternative, and that’s what I myself use, but I always recommend brave to less tech-savvy people, especially if they’re coming from something like chrome.

yeah it reads as if it it was just slapped into google translate several times:

But something that apparently will also have, that originally was not in the 2007 title will be microtransactions, which became popular not long after.

Ubisoft hasn’t offered many details about it, but fans have found clues to the presence of the possibility of microtransactions in Assassin’s Creed Mirage

titles of yesteryear.

very weird choice of wording throughout

Now the real question is, how did you pick your username @fucker ? lol

Honestly screw any state which has this stance against abortions, the fact that women don’t have control over their own body and are just seen as baby making machines is messed up. If i were female I would not want to live in texas. And america’s “the land of the free”, they once said.

You can actually use it on any browser if you just spoof your user agent to edge, there’s no technical limitation that requires edge, microsoft just did it to be shitty. There’s also a really nice app which integrates a tonne of ai’s (bard, chatgpt, bing, claude, etc) under a single app: https://github.com/sunner/ChatALL/

+1 for brave search

Oh noes! Sumeting isn’t abowt me! Dis must be wut discwiminashun is! Help! Help! I’m bean oppressed!

For the record i’m not american, that doesn’t mean i support racism against people who are. And honestly, its hard to take the opinion of someone who speaks this way:

doesn’t make you not a giant crybaby. Go home

especially when most others on this thread are speaking civilly.

Go home. Y’all seem to love your isolationist imperial hellscape, just stay there and keep your nose out of what other people are doing. The rest of us don’t want you around, anyway.

Thanks for confirming my point about blatant discrimination. Baffles me how people only think that racism applies to certain countries and that if you’re racist to say, americans, its acceptable.

Yeah i agree, or politics should at least rename to American Politics to clarify, and lemmy.ca’s one Canadian Politics, etc.

Ok, but what you described is literally discrimination against americans. Just because they’re american, doesn’t mean its not discrimination.

If you changed the word “US” to a middle eastern country, im sure that’d receive a lot of backlash, but since you mentioned the US its acceptable. /s

It’s carving out a space for everyone else.

when you place bias in a news community, that community is corrupt, its not a credible source for news.

There’s also @WorldNews which literally allows any world news article, except for US related ones which are banned… in a worldnews community, absolutely ridiculous. It also directly goes against their rule 3 which is “no discrimination”.

Fortunately there’s other communities which are just as active, if not more, without the same bias.

why is this any more troubling that bing’s ai doing the same thing? All AI is doing this, at least bing/brave/google link you to article sources

without attribution

no…? on every bit of info theres a source button next to it which links you to the original article, similar to what bing chat does.

Brave Software

affects brave search not the browser.

Well no, lots of people are jumping to conclusions without having even researched the problem lmao.

Someone please make a fork of Brave without the nonsense?

but this issue isn’t related to the browser, its the optional ai summarizer feature of the search engine.
