    The original op took some things out of context, Ford, last I checked, was not a bastion of the left. He names big donors.

    Then he describes how that money trickles down; and the last I checked the not so polite description is more accurate than not.

    I don’t mind people bashing bad guys here; and I’m sure this fellow has spent years raiding your hackles. But some people like me, it’s just embarrassing to read

      Pretty sure there's at least one quote of Davis himself using the n-word to refer to federal agents before describing how bright they glow..

        People always say things like that as if that some kind of argument in its favor.

        Being stabbed is better than being shot, but I wouldn't consider either them to be particularly good for your health.

        Oh, that was not my intention, there are far better drugs than K, even some, which don’t destroy your body.

        But when I compare friends who use coke vs K, well, there is a big difference. Coke using people tend to get on my nerves (even if they are not on coke right now) and get dumber in some ways, while with people using K, I don't have that.

          This spineless mouth breather just realised there's a buck to be made by glazing other alt-right mouth breathers. At least he can finally be himself now. Thankfully, his product is just google chrome repackaged and thereby sucks major ass.

          just realised

          "Just"? No, he's always been open about this, and that's why his appointment as Mozilla CEO was so controversial in 2014, and why the board revolted and he ended up resigning 11 days into his tenure.

          The whole origin story of Brave is steeped in right wing politics.

            Not shocked the fake coin browser has a right-wing CEO.

            The origin story of Brave is entirely right-wing. He was forced out of Mozilla because of his public stances on political topics. It's no secret that after being forced out for his politics, he went on to create a new browser company.

              Between this, Proton and Firefox's change of terms, most of the advice I've seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it's going the way of the dino.

                Didn't a lot of the people from back in the old 4chan days move over to KiwiFarms? This feels like it would be a kiwifarms thing these days rather than 4chan

                    Vivaldi is a very good browser, but if you want to support open web standards it would be better to use a non-Chromium-based browser like one of the Firefox derivatives. Also Vivaldi is closed source. Still, I do like Vivaldi.

                    Of course ff over everything. Zen browser is nice too. I say Vivaldi because of the chromium/blink rendering engines, Vivaldi has a consistent track record. They haven't tried to push any crypto down your throat and uBo still functions. They offer a different experience and welcome their community feedback

                      The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

                      Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

                          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.

                              Brave evangelists are the ones who enabled him to do this, they love it.

                              They're crying with joy, not rage or fear.

                                Proton is fine, they use encryption, but don't expect anonymity, since it's email ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                      im not aware of proton changing terms, but their CEO announced he has trump's dick down his throat. well, as far as it'll reach. between his lips, at least. so they can't really be trusted to not snitch at this point.
