It’s probably because I generally saw the sub shutdowns as a result of the protest, and not as an ongoing protest. Reddit clearly wasn’t in any talks with the mods at that point and vica versa.

Honestly i’ll just go with it being months. I’m basically just arguing semantics at this point.

I mean, I remember it being weeks myself.

But it’s not as if things went back to the way they were either. There were definitely effects due to those weeks.

Was strict the default? I’d assume the standard would be the default.

I’d imagine if you were using strict you want the sites to break because you absolutely do not want fingerprinting. That kindof restriction usually comes with the breaking being expected.

Uhhh…that’s not a meme, as the other guy said it’s virtue signalling. I don’t even know why you would fallback on it being a meme since people generally agreed with what you said.

If anything I think that makes you sound like an ass but that’s just me.

I mean yeah, but Spez we know for a fact actually did something.

Meanwhile someone will be eating gummies to cure themselves of some modern disease instead of using actual science-proven medication.

Okay

But in this entire discussion we haven’t even tied him or his homophobia to the feature change this article is discussing.

I mean, it’s more like I wanted to see more discussion about brave. It’s not even like it’s talking about things the CEO specifically did to the browser, it’s just talking about the CEO.

And yeah I’m complaining about different threads in a post, when 3 comments are about the browser and like 15 are about the CEO.

If you have something to say negative about brave from this feature, that’s cool, but I’m not seeing it.

I’m…honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there’s people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.

I mean it’s derailed the entire thread so pretty much nobody is talking about the removed feature anymore.

Wait why are you on the privacy community when you don’t care about the parts that are specifically related to privacy?

I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.

So basically they’re protecting you from something that’s only possible, because of something they shouldn’t have done.

I mean maybe you’d need an adapter if for some reason it doesn’t have the RYW plugs, but these things will generally work on whatever TV you plug them into. TV manufacturers obviously didn’t want to have to tell consumers that their products would stop working moving to LCD.

But a common factor is the console doesn’t know the difference so the screen size will usually be stretched. But thats about it.

?? Historically it’s been an issue where you need to prove you didn’t do it, because otherwise the companies would bury you in legal fees trying to defend yourself. You’re like…trying to argue an alternate universe to how this normally plays out.

That’s…not a legal excuse.

In fact that’;s an open and shut end to a project if you’re caught doing it.

Hasn’t ReactOS been accused of using code that was not reverse-engineered multiple times? If they became too big MS would probably just sue them.

Keep in mind that you are an experienced user of linux.

This site is probably about people who are both inexperienced, and also may not have time to adequately learn the system the way you have.

And no, as someone who has gone through Fedora, Mint, and Arch, saying they’re for “everyone” just assumes everyone is going to use linux the same way you do. Which is a huge mistake. Arch didn’t even have a normal installer up until a year ago, the process even with the arch wiki guide is completely unwieldy for most users to do. Many distros disable popular codecs by default, which a lot of users wouldn’t have the patience for. Some will have Nvidia drivers for up to date for gaming, and some won’t.

And most of all, you’re also running new users into the choice dilemma, where there’s so many options they just won’t know what to pick.

I mean…if you want unmodded entirely, don’t you just go to 4chan?

You need some moderation and they can’t all be exploitive self entitled if that can be argeed on. it has be working somehow

…What does the writer think support end means? Microsoft bricks the PC as soon as the support period ends?

They’re going to just keep using Windows 10, security be damned. Probably a good number of users who weren’t keeping their PC up to date even when Microsoft was forcing updates on them.
