It is so I don’t understand on what basis they wanted to sue the forking developer. At first it was trademark issues (they renamed the project from 'Braver‘ to 'Bold Browser‘) and then the developer stopped working on it at some point, however, I can‘t find any information about why they did so.
Someone tried to do it a few years back and either got threatened with a lawsuit or actually got sued by Brave because of it. The browser was called Braver; you can look it up!
I‘ve always thought that it was only made for this purpose🫣
Have you tried out the Windows 11 22h2 version? THAT one is crappy af. Even switching between menus in the sidepanel can take a few seconds to register, and I‘ve had friends with powerful Nvidia GPUs report about the same issue.
They’re probably US-American, who thinks liberalism is the farthest you can get as a “leftist” and that liberalism is not just spiced up centre(-left).
It doesn’t matter if you think a thing holds no value or not. You might be doing something that is currently legal and socially accepted, that on a whim could turn into the worst crime ever. Why would you give Facebook or whoever information that you did it? Why do they need to know? E2EE is obviously something that is doing its job in keeping people free from surveillance or otherwise governments wouldn’t try to ban it.
TL;DR: You are better off keeping as much as possible to yourself in general.
Edit: typos
Maybe Duck-Duck-Go need to have a !bang search modifier for Lemmy. https://duckduckgo.com/bangs
Most likely not feasible, because what the bangs do is passing site:domain.com to the search result. As you know, Lemmy does not have a singular domain name so this won’t work for it. As a matter of fact, there is a bang for Mastodon, but it only searches the biggest instance, mastodon.social.
Just what are you talking about where you need everything to be encrypted? 🤨
Nothing specifically. It’s just none of anyone’s business. Privacy is a human right and not something for criminals only.
You say that the Danish system tries to avoid people trying to abuse the system, but here’s my problem with that: Where do you draw the line for abuse? Do you think that people from poor countries don’t deserve a better chance at life? Even if they lied about escaping war, they probably did it out of fear of being sent back to their home countries. They immigrated the way they did, because Denmark or other EU countries wouldn’t have granted them visas to travel there legally. People “abusing” the system is very broad & could be a lot of things including sending people home for “only” wanting to escape poverty.

From everything I’ve heard about Denmark’s immigration policies, I can only describe them as inhumane racist scums. They don’t even treat the immigrants as people.
The respectable ones like Signal have nothing to hand over because either it is E2EE or they just don’t profile you at all. If the mom and her daughter had used Signal instead, Signal would’ve complied and only been able to serve the court the metadata.
Facebook neither encrypts the data nor does it only take what’s given to them by the user. There is so much non-consensual data harvesting happening on that platform, that they claim their users agreed to, when no one actually did, since their TOS are such a mess and are constantly being updated.
Or, and I know Meta would find this absurd, but maybe don’t collect that data to begin with?!
I wasn’t handing out fault certificates, but merely pointing out that the community is so quick to defend things that are broken by design just for the sake of it.
And speaking of hardware acceleration, not even Intel cards could decode videos by default in Firefox (provided all the codecs were installed) up until version 115. You had to at least flip a flag in about:config and if you didn’t want to install the codecs from RPMFusion or any third-party non-oss repo, the Flatpak was the alternative, which would need to be run in native Wayland on Wayland. For that you need to pass a variable. How is a new user supposed to figure out all of these things when Firefox works just fine without of those hacks on other platforms? Yes, other platforms have their own issues, but at least they’ve got the basics right.
So many unnecessary hurdles that make no sense. And that’s just Fedora. Other distros have other kinds of fuckeries, like Snaps & incoherent GNOME on Ubuntu, no Secure Boot or Wayland on Pop!_OS, way too strict permissions & firewall on openSUSE, heavy screen tearing on Linux Mint with no Wayland on the roadmap which would fix that issue automatically. The list goes on and for each of those, you’ll find way too many people defending the broken design.
What I’m trying to say is that Linux adoption on the desktop will never move forward with widespread attitudes like that.
Exactly, can’t wait for this to be implemented!
There is currently a pending feature request to add a feature dubbed “multireddit” that communities can add themselves to and where the end user would only have to sub to one multireddit to have access to all the communities with the same on multiple servers. It seems to be opt-in for communities, though, which is good IMO.
The Linux community still does that tbh. Just because it works for some to scout the internet for jUsT tHrEe CoMmAnDs, doesn’t mean that it is easy or accessible to folks that just want a working system with working hardware acceleration (in the example of Fedora refusing to include codecs & a working MESA driver by default). Some people really enjoy making their and other’s lives harder 🙄
I need this made for iOS 💀
This is their repository btw: https://github.com/BoldBrowser
It seems they moved to making Ungoogled Chromium after that (you can see that Eloston, the major dev of that Chromium fork, contributed to the repo) and then maybe they just changed the repository and continued working elsewhere? That would at least explain the README.
