Makeshift

Yes I know, I read the article. I was referring to the first incident with the perception remark, but it still makes sense to include it in the headline with the second scenario for clarity's sake

FYI, there is a way to use ReVanced Manager to import your own API key into baconreader and other 3rd party apps:

I miss my pebble watch. best alarm I ever had. battery was great so you didn't have to charge at night, so you could sleep with it on; and it peacefully vibrates to wake you up gently, so great.

It shows people that it's not just trans people at risk due to this violent rhetoric the right spews. Everyone is at risk of being targeted even if they are perceived as trans.

I'm a cis man, but I don't have the deepest voice, and I've been worried about this kind of thing happening for a while since I live in the south, and it looks like I was right to worry.

I need a philosophy major to chime in on this one

Thanks for the understanding and reasonable reply. I also appreciate the thoughtful discussion.

I don't even dislike Firefox, I have it installed on my PC and my phone alongside Brave. And I don't think Brave is completely undeserving of criticism either, just not to the extent that it is portrayed at large.

let's go ahead and let companies have a standing military while we're at it :D

Vivaldi is not fully open source, Brave Browser is.

there is no reason to switch from Brave Browser based on this article, it's not even about Brave Browser, its about Brave Search, and nothing in the article affects users in any way or gives any reason to switch from Brave. Not to mention half the article is retracted now that Brave responded.

The author has no idea what they're talking about. It's just a website owner complaining about Brave Search having a summarizer feature so you don't have to read through 20 paragraphs to get to the important info on websites, same as Google and DDG's Featured snippets/quick answers. It's not even shady, it's a useful feature.

they can't hear you over the sound of their firefox circlejerk

just a few counter points:

• brave is open source too

• AI copyright precident has not been set by courts, there is no precident for any of this. i don't see why this is such a big deal you'd stop using their search.

• As a pirate, I think copyright law is bullshit anyway and holds us back as a species. Most copyright law is outdated and stunts creativity and innovation

• most people only care if it affects them. which this does not. it is relevant because that is how people operate if they're not virtue signaling

• there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. every large organization does some shady shit. Brave in comparison to most hasn't done anything to warrant such a huge campaign against them. maybe some criticism, sure.

• I meant brave is the only good alternative to Google. all the others have terrible results. Brave is almost as good as google

• and I'm not defending a corporation, I am just tired of Firefox fans jumping on any small thing and making a mountain out of a molehill to try and save their dying browser market share

• also no idea why you think I'm angry about this. I'm just annoyed at the constant Firefox circlejerk/astroturfing campaign

well those gaming chairs are definitely not comfort chairs, that's for sure
