Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros

Is this dude schizophrenic or something? What the fuck does he mean "Irish only apply"?
The irony that he is mad about woke when irish people were also shit fury on.

Urban dictionary says it's a term that refers to when an undercover government agent fails to blend in with whoever they're trying to blend in with.
Would that apply to James Bond? I've always wondered how everyone in those movies didn't instantly know who he was. Kinda like Archer. Archer is definitely a glowie.

Somehow, I knew it was Eich man.
I see what you did there

I like to say it has become fashionable not to hide it. Lol.
Yeah, that works too

The books were clearer about this, in fairness. Bond wasn't a spy so much as an agent provocateur and a major part of his role was to cause disruption, panic and general fuss, but in a controlled way.

You're right and it's so fucking annoying. I really want someone to jump into the niche and provide support for those of us who get to remember how to sysadmin again.
I don't want/need "plug and play" but I also don't really have time to relearn everything I knew "in a prior life."
Suggestions? At this point I'd love to have a backend for my email that isn't Microsoft.
Can I introduce you to your new best friend, Yunohost? It's a self-hosting platform based on Linux designed to run on a shitty old laptop, SBC, USFF PC or such plugged into your router. Browser-based, loads of extensions and tools, the hardest part it installing it - it's no more or less tricky that installing Ubuntu, but that's still involved for many people.

The whole point of fake coins is to trade them for real coins.
Yeah, a lot of people say things like "a BloingCoin is worth €1000" or "1 PissBux is worth more than a barrel of oil" but, like, so what? I know how many apples I can buy with €1 (about two). How many apples can I buy with a BloingCoin or a PissBux? Or, for that matter, a barrel of oil?

What the fuck is it with the "Tech Friendly" companies going to shit?
In addition to what others said, leadership drinks a lot of their own Kool-Aid. They spend a lot of time on Twitter and such.

Vivaldi's UI is so irritatingly laggy. Their feature set is great, but my 5800x3d can't make it change tabs smoothly and quickly.
I love Cromite, in that case. Lightning fast, barebones like Chromium, and has the best built in anti-fingerprinting I know of.

Always has been. I considered anyone who used it slightly sus until further proof. And if they basically advertised it, I considered them too far gone to try anything else.
It's a bloody web browser.
How many people do you think actually sit down and do in depth research and analysis into the CEO's personal beliefs, employment history, and associations before deciding which piece of software they'll use to look at cat pictures?
-
99% of people don't care about the things that you care about, and use the products they enjoy using. Classifying people by the web browser they use is crazy talk.
When it's owned and operated by a literal open bigot and the fact it only became popular after the bigot was removed from his office chair because of it? Yes, that's a valid reason.

Agents provocateur are actually what we historically had to worry about just as much as spies. They're the guy who's just raring to go do something a bit risky or really wants to run security for your event. Doing what they say or aiding them will get you arrested.

They grew up getting their heads shoved into toilets, and are now eager to shove somebody else's head into the toilet. I'm in my mid-30s, and I absolutely remember the teachers turning a blind eye to a bunch of kids ganging up on me with sticks in middle school, only to get detention for hitting them back with the book of arthurian legends I was trying to read.
We basically got taught that bullying is a good thing the strong do to the weak, and it fucked up multiple generations.
Yeah and a lot of them are mad that they only got money and power while the other kids getting our asses kicked, the queer kids, got to be cool as adults instead. /hj
Like i got taught not to be effeminate quite violently. While teachers picked on me for being weird and smart. I guess I just can't give a shit about these people who love to make sob stories to justify their cruelty and bigotry. They can heal or get out of the way.

Can I pay my taxes, rent, and student loans in your currency? If not then it's not real money

It's a web browser. You just blanket assume everyone who uses a web browser is aware of everything that said web browsers governance has said or done.

None of that affects the average user. I'm talking about the experience as a browser. No ads, popups, cookie walls, newsletter signup, none of that. Much better than I've seen with Firefox plugins. I don't use their VPN or crypto, it doesn't affect me at all. Crypto is always shady but it's a choice to engage with that, and they do make it easy to avoid completely
Of course it affects the average user, if nothing else then by showing that the browser can't be trusted.
If the people making the browser is willing to alter the Web pages people visit to steal money once, what makes you think they aren't willing to do so again for any number of reasons?

Basically, KiwiFarms were formed by people who were too much for 8chan, which was formed by people too much for 4chan, which was formed by people too much for Something Awful.
Free speech absolutism was a mistake...
(If you ask: there are now people too much for KiwiFarms, usually those that also want to torture animals rather than going after animal abusers for internet cookie points)
Not quite. KiwiFarms is older than 8Chan. KiwiFarms was originally called CWCki and was dedicated specifically to Chris-chan because Encyclopedia Dramatica wasn't quite what some of that person's harassers wanted it to be. 8chan wouldn't open for another 8 months after CWCki was founded but before it was renamed KiwiFarms.
Let's be clear here - Chris-chan has been systematically harassed for literal decades, has a bunch of problems at least some of which are consequences of that. Chris-chan is also probably the single most documented human being in history as a consequence of the massive and dedicated "fan" base.
