The real answer, that we all know but dare not speak, is that it’s miserable here.

Once you’ve blocked the tankies, porn, and militant dweebs, it’s wall to wall politics and titty memes.

I’m here because I’m also a miserable asshole.

I say this in all of these threads: more users does not mean a better experience.

Instead, focus on making our communities the best they can be.

Astonishing really.

This is the guy running the US like a business.

Don’t worry about debt, just stoke up inflation so it does t seem like so much money.

Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.

I often get a message that it isn’t supported.

Sure.

Indeed

Keep huffing your own farts mate.

That’s just because Brave tells websites that you’re using Chrome.

All http requests include a “user agent” where the requester tells the server what agent the user is using. requesters can specify whatever they want - it’s not complex to tell the server you’re using tea leaves to render the server’s response.

Some web pages are designed to tell the user that their browser is not compatible, if it doesn’t match a set of compatible browsers. So if you say you’re rendering the page with “tea leaves” it will tell you it’s not compatible because it doesn’t match “chrome” or “edge” or whatever.

The outcome is - these alerts are rudimentary and not actually considering the capabilities of your browser.

I generally use librewolf but as you say some pages are just broken, so I use ungoogled chromium for those pages.

Brave does this by randomization instead, which is far more effective.

Randomisation isn’t necessarily more effective, it’s just a different strategy.

Orion claims to this day that fingerprinting resistance is impossible, which is preposterous because Brave is doing it today.

I think you mean Orion is saying RFP is ineffective, and whether Brave’s implementation is or is not is a question of semantics.

Like most security measures, each decision is a trade off between security and usability. The Firefox / LibreWolf / TOR implementation is fine for most users:

Doesn’t Firefox have fingerprinting protections which are disabled by default? LibreWolf enables them by default.

Hold the phone. Do you mean to tell me, that the screen shot of a post I’m looking at is not an original funny joke created by the purported author, and is in fact an iteration of some other meme created by someone else?

What is wrong with people. Someone should call the people down at “the internet” and get all of this straightened out.

Oh you’re referring to a mythical super intelligence which will surely emerge after the next round of funding?

Because it’s really daft on a number of levels.

Firstly there’s no evidence what so ever that the current generation of AI is a pathway to a general intelligence or anything god like.

Secondly it seems to me that most decisions are about preserving money and traditions and positions of power - faith in “God” is a different thing entirely and maybe the church wouldn’t be so awful if they were focused on that.

Finally I don’t really think the emergence of a man made god-tier intelligence would really challenge believers in “God”. As in, I can see the connection logically but any Christian will tell you their belief is based on faith - it’s not logical.

Do you really, honestly believe that’s pope Leo XIV’s underlying reasoning here?

I’m genuinely asking, would getting the fuck out be enough?

He would need to capitulate. He would need to acknowledge his fuckup, to the satisfaction of Iran. I don’t think he’s capable of that. Not simply that he doesn’t want to, although that’s also true. I mean he’s not equipped to negotiate an end to this hostility.

Because theyre not idle threats he really will tariff the fuck out of you if you don’t comply.

The thing is, it was this b type of hubris that b for him into this mess and it’s not going to get b him out of it

Oil producers are wealthy donors. Farmers are not.

If I understand correctly, this would really cut into the profits of US oil producers.

He’s not gonna do that.

Maybe mastodon but the lemmy / piefed / mbin instances seem to be a much younger user base.

Exactly. This type of thing is such obvious low hanging fruit quick win for any government.
