I don’t need drugs, I was shot as a child, and I have enough adrenaline from that for the rest of my life.
Well, time to add Ragnarök to my Apocalypse Bingo Card.
I was just making a joke. Hopefully, those apps are not like the hardcoded messes that I’ve had to deal with before.
Don’t underestimate the legacy code. There’s a reason we avoid it.
So, straight out of 1984?
I’ve had many problems with drivers for Nvidia and RealTek components, that absolutely refuse to work for more than a week straight. Across three distros and two different machines.
and more stuff works out of the box than after a Windows installation.
Except drivers, those seem to like to catch on fire, for some reason.
An AGI with virtually no restrictions and an extensive knowledge of all information humanity has ever gathered?
Make a computer that governs the world fairly and for the people, cause God knows we can’t.
Kick the door instead!
Boy, thank God that you don’t have to deal with the draconian legacy codebases that governments have. There’s a reason no sane engineer wants to get even near them, and it’s because any change, no matter how small it is, completely breaks the entire system and no-one knows how.
Sure, a new system could be developed from the side, but implies getting engineers in a higher level than interns and governments don’t have good reasons to hire them. Their broken system gives them the perfect excuse for their bullshittery.
I don’t think we had trebuchets 15,000 years ago.
I remember seeing this song for the first time on a reddit thread like “You have to sing a complete song from memory, which song would you pick?”. That guy pulled a galaxy brain move.
I guess they place it in the installer to make it easier to update? Note, I never used Brave in my life, so I don’t really know how it works.
The point I’m making is that it’s not like Brave installed the VPN in secret, hidden away to it’s own devices. The code is there and a service is installed, sure, but it’s dormant until the user activates it.
Firefox also installs telemetry and data reporting functions like most browsers, also libraries like libwebp, which are prone to critical vulnerabilities (as seen), encryption systems like Encrypted Client Hello, and software like Pocket, which some users never use, but it’s still there.
Any browser will install many features that probably won’t be used. Saying that a browser that installs a feature like Tor or VPN (which aren’t even hidden, Brave publicly present those features) is automatically bad doesn’t sound reasonable to me.
You know Firefox installs a bunch of stuff by default as well, right?
I’ve think it says “We’re Felons”
