  • Before displaying a page it searches the content and injects a referrer tag to the end of URLs that match certain things. This is done instantly.

    E.g. If there's a Binance URL on the page it'll add something like ?ref=bravebrowser

    Binance will pick up that tag and give them money for any sign ups. Brave do this for any crypto services they have affiliate accounts with.

    • Built in email client
    • Built in RSS reader.
    • Themes and customisable UI (vertical tabs, bottom tags, tab previews, tab stacking)
    • Built in ad blocker
    • Sidebar with Mastodon, RSS, mail, translate, etc

    *I use Floorp now cos I wanna support Mozilla/Firefox by upping the browser share numbers but Vivaldi is the best Chromium-based browser by far.

  • Small Commercial Gym Software
  • I used to love Ubiquiti but they're turning into cunts these days. I also heard there's been a lot of people leave and low morale due to the enshitification of the products.

    I've since put OpenWRT onto my ERX and ER4. Will likely put it on the UAP-LC next to get rid of it entirely.

  • What's a thing that increased your power?
    • I want to downvote you cos I disagree.
    • But I have a policy of never downvoting unless it's spam.
    • But you seem to be posting this to get downvotes to test the hypothesis of the OP. A downvote will help you in the long run.
    • But I disagree with you so do I wanna help you?
    • Of course I wanna help cos life is hard.
    • But I don't do downvotes unless it's spam....

    I dislike wayland
  • I don't see anything alt-right in your past comments.

    Btw I agree with the Wayland thing. I won't move to it until it's perfect. X works fine for me.

  • Swalwell on Biden age: ‘I’ll take the guy who’s 81 over the guy who has 91 felony counts’
  • The comments by septics on Biden's age reek of ageism.

    His age is irrelevant. Can he do the fucking job?

    Yes?

    Then vote for him.

    The poor bastard is destroying his retirement, health and twilight years to stop the US falling to fascism and all you can do is whine about his age?

  • It's forking Friday!
    • Starting diet today. Calorie counting as a result.
    • Hunting for my nearest geocache later (exercise).
    • Putting some stuff for sale on Amazon if I can - not done it in years so not sure if rules have changed.
    • Fixing my openWRT router.

    But right now I'm feeling a bit tired so may go to bed for an hour.

  • Do you separate the art from the artists? If no, are you strict about it or do you cherry-pick?
  • *sigh*

    You REALLY want an answer that much? My point is - my life is too fucked to care about frivolous bullshit like art vs artist.

    It honestly feels like people get a sense of sick satisfaction out of shitting on different things cos "person bad". I hate to use a term of the alt-right but it's "virtue signalling".

    I ultimately don't give a flying fuck. I'm SO fukcing sick of going into a music post on Reddit/Lemmy/whatever and seeing a ton of top comments saying "Oh this person is a wife beater/raper/pedo/druggie/fuckup/etc". They're fucking killjoys?! Why can't people just enjoy the fucking music as-is?

    But since you pushed me I'll give it a go....

    I used to be a Lost Prophets fan and even saw them live. But I'm now bored of them. I could say "I wouldn't listen to them cos of the lead singers crimes" but really? I don't care and I'll never listen to it cos I've moved on from their music. If I found myself dancing to one of their songs without realising it and someone said - "This is Lost Prophets!! Don't you know what the singer did?!". I'd be like "Oh, ok. Thanks for ruining my good mood". In other words - they're the dick for bringing up a horror by the artist rather than just letting someone fucking bop along to it.

    Michael Jackson? I was dancing to his Bad album a few months back in my living room. I don't care about his crimes. I loved his music as a kid and still like it now. Nostalgia wins.

    People like RHCP, Marilyn Manson, Aerosmith? I don't care. It's music, it's not a lifestyle choice. Me listening to RHCP or Manson doesn't mean I support their actions.

    Do I care they get money if I stream their song?

    Not really. Life's too short and fucked for me to waste energy on that. Live and let live. Stop raging at things that happened in the past. It doesn't change anything. It's a waste of energy.

  • Do you support the death penalty?

    Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I've always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.

    But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.

    Which if even more disturbing.

    So what do you think?

    So is the US slipping into Civil War?

    People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

    So is this what CW2 looks like?

    P.S. I'm a Brit

    Can you ask your GP to scratch the inside of your ear?

    Right inside to that bit when it opens up at the end - my ear itches. If I put my little finger in I can feel the itch at the end.

    I know if I could use a pair of sharp curved tweezers I could scratch that itchy bit and reach a level of ecstasy reserved for the gods.

    Can I ask my GP to do this carefully? What if I provide tweezers?
