    Of course that's not possible, the issue here is being aware and not caring and in some cases supporting it for convenience and selfishness.

      If it was intentional double entendre then I retract my comment, but used in the context of "bugs and features" there's a contextual implication.

          I still have literally thousands of clients that use Windows and want support... for these kinds of things. Firefox has recently stopped working on a few things and Brave works better for me right now. It's not convenience when FF doesn't work...
          But I digress, Win 11 here and Brave. My choices, for lots of reasons. Lots of linux boxes as well though. Each to their own and all that

            In this thread something I see a lot on lemmy is happening. Maybe someone can give me a hint on how that happens. The post itself is 90% upvotes, while the comment section is really anti-Brave (for good reasons). Do most upvotes come from people scrolling through without looking at the comment section and those with an opinion on the topic dive into it?

              An unrepentant homophobe who accused people who dislike him for his homophobic views/actions as being closed-minded and bigoted for disliking him over it.

                The better option would be to not use spyware as an operating system.

                  In my country, one of the most successful supermarkets is run by a fascist and he uses part of his fortune to finance our local fascist party, which is gaining strength every year by the way. Do we support fascism by buying in that supermarket? What if we suddenly started to boycott the supermarket to hell?

                  My point is that they earn profits by using their services and in today's society money is power. And from where the CEO got his power? From the millions of people with the mindset of "if it benefits me I don't care".

                    Not interacted doesnt mean it's non-existant.
                    It exists and therefore it's bad enough.

                        I think you should not downvote a post you have a negative opinion about.
                        If the post is worth to discuss then why should I not upvote the post and then say that I disagree in the comments.
                        If we all down vote those posts nobody will see it (apart of those who sort by controversial) and there will be no discussion.

                          My point was that brave's solution, like Signal's, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don't want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.

                          No way they'd do that though, because then they'd have the mouse and the other members of the content mafia breathing down their necks.

                            The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.

                            To me the karma system is about quality. Not an "I agree/disagree" button.

                            For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

                                If the software in question is bad, then I'd like to reduce visibility of the post while explaining why in the comments.

                                Brave is connected to the BAT pay-to-surf scam. Its CEO donates to homophobic causes.

                                  Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.

                                    Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!

                                    I recently decided to switch from using Atomic Fedora to reg KDE Fedora (cause tinkering and bypassing atomic features got on my nerves), and I almost went through with wiping everything and only having Linux installed. And then I realized I probably wouldn't be able to do some tests for college cause they use anti-cheating software (lockdown browser) which they probably wouldn't like if I ran it in a VM or wine...

                                    But man, once I'm out of college, I'm probably wiping Windows for good! Also gonna factory reset that partition so it at least takes way less space on my drive.

                                    (Side note: the other hesitation is that I'm 90% kernel updates nuked Bluetooth for me around March (It worked when I rolled back to January/February releases) and I do have zoom classes sometimes. Like, do I just have to buy a Bluetooth dongle to deal with this?)

                                      It's probably the best chromium browser out there

                                      Firefox has done shit too

                                      sadly we don't have a lot of choice, but they're one of the least worse

                                        They shit on it because just like Mozilla, they made some shit decision by making some shady partnerships, and because the CEO is transphobic/homophobic/can't remember

                                        Apart from the usual bullshit and antifeatures it has, it's still a great browser choice, just like Firefox
