Oof. An always online terminal with an AI that does who knows what with the things you type? I don’t think so.

Also, Open Sourcing the client but not the server seems like marketing at best.

A quick Wikipedia also says that they basically run on investor money. Including Sam Altman and Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn who had three massive data breaches in as many years.

That’s a hard pass for me.

It does look beautiful though

Yes, of course. But afaik the idea of flatpak is, that every program has a list of libraries and versions of them that it wants. So when program X was built with libfoo version 1 and program Y needs libfoo version 2, you basically download the library twice.

When you go through the package manager, you just download the current version that’s in the repository. This can lead to problems when a program expects some functionality that has since been deprecated, but I never actually had issues with that.

Also, a lot of the libraries a flatpak downloads are already installed on the system, just in a different version, I noticed.

I’m on a home computer that I use by myself, mind you. So if something breaks, it’s just my own problem. If I were to use software in production or even just administer the computer of a tech-unsavy relative, I’d likely use flatpaks or similar for stability and security reasons.

I’ve used flatpak for a while because it’s the default ob Fedoras GUI Software Center, but I’ve recently switched back to dnf and native packages where I can.

The thing is, that I have a shitty 500GB SSD with a shitty 50Mbit Internet connection (which is closer to 30Mbit because my house still has lead cables instead of copper). So downloading 300+ MB of libraries for a 2MB Program is just not feasible for me.

I’m using chrome on phone, because it’s basically part of the operating system, but I did like Fennec. It’s a fork of Firefox mobile with a few more privacy features (or so they advertise)

I’m very much out of the loop actually, but the meme mentions Loli porn. So I assumed the question was about that.

Also, I think somewhere in this thread someone posted a link to screenshots of the whole ordeal, and there is a drawing of a very young person fellating a horse.

Many people find sexualized depictions of minors reprehensible. Regardless of whether or not they are illustrations or photographs.

Another argument I have heard is that people who consume loli might someday not be satisfied with drawings and escalate their consumption to photography or even try to act out their fantasies with real children.

Also, lolicon is outlawed in many jurisdictions (or at least a grey area) since it might fall under cp laws.

Personally I am suspicious of any “slippery slope” argument, but this topic is definitely not something I want to take a strong stance on.

No, I was stupid. Fixed it

I’ve just looked it up and I’ve paid ~300€ last year. But only because I neglected to tell them, that I’ve started training for a new job so my dues would actually be much lower. I’ve just changed it and this year I will pay maybe 30€ or so

Edit: My math was way off ^^’ it’s actually more like 150€/year right now.

Though they do take a percentage of income before taxes, so I think it’s still very fair.

I work in IT. My boss is by all accounts very competent in both programming and administration, yet all his documentation basically says “remember to set DoTheRightThing=True”

Edit: I just looked up the documentation for an internal service and under “Error recovery” it just says “The output of command xy should make sense”. fml

Maybe. I still don’t see how not having rights as a worker (or in this case my rights not being respected) helped to develop my personal wealth.

If your claim, that workers rights diminish wealth, is true, I should have become more wealthy instead of less. Right?

Who’s Wohlstand? I’ve worked 40, 60, 80 and even 100-Hour weeks and at the time I’ve always had to live paycheck-to-paycheck because my Bosses would pay close to minimum wage (less than if gerechnet auf die Stundenzahl), invent breaks I didn’t take to balance out any overtime I had or just not pay overtime in the first place (but still demand it).

Explain how my Wohlstand was diminished by having too many rights

You are correct. It is illegal.

The problem is, that the law is not absolute. Neither in it’s writing nor it’s application.

Large companies regularly break the law (especially data protection) and face very little consequences. Either because they can afford a staff of lawyers to find and build loopholes, or through schmoozing with the right desicion makers. Paying a fine of 20 million is not much when you made 20 billion (20 thousand million) in profit.

Even more so, very large companies (think Facebook or Google) hold enough political power to influence or even change laws.

Alright, thanks for the correction.

I do have lag issues with YouTube on FF as well, but only the video not the audio. I just assumed it was a codec issue, or just RAM management, since it only occurs when I’ve been running FF plus a game like wow all day

It’s also enabled by default.

Edit: Apparently it’s not enabled by default. I tried brave some time ago and remembered that it was enabled, which promoted me to uninstall it immediately. Maybe it was enabled by default then, maybe I misremembered.

Having a VPN basically just means sending your traffic (albeit encrypted) to someone else’s server, before sending it to the wider internet.

That means if you don’t specifically disable it, everything you do in the brave browser could theoretically be logged, processed and analyzed by the owners of brave.

Even if the traffic itself is still encrypted, like with online banking, just knowing how many people in a certain city use which bank for example, could be very interesting to advertisers.

Depending on how evil they are, they could also log extensive amounts of user data, just waiting for the day it becomes legal to sift through it (just like a lot of governments do).

Or maybe they just log and sell your data even though it’s illegal. Like a lot of companies do all the time (see Cambridge Analytical scandal etc.).

Or maybe they don’t. But if I was a browser company I’d sure enjoy having all my users route all their traffic through servers I control.

Castle + Starfield, so probably Firefly again? (I still haven’t watched Firefly)

Can’t post image replys, so I’ll just post a link:
