Bullshit.
If you want to use the browser despite those controversies then that’s your choice, but be honest enough to admit they exist.
I don’t use brave and haven’t for a long time, but these things are well documented.

For the record I wasn’t disagreeing with your point or criticizing it at all. Just trying to give some context that might explain what you were observing.

This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?
He’s a long-standing member of the tech pundit community (dare I say the Linux community), and in recent years has been exposed as antivax, anti-woke, and a bigot. Before that he was just a confident sounding asshole with sometimes interesting opinions.
Been there, had that conversation.
I, for one, welcome our AI overlords.
Not anymore!
Oh I gotta fire up TF2! These sorts of shenanigans are the main reason I drifted away years ago.
This is it for the curious:

Let’s not forget the quality. Also poor.
Seems a reasonable line in the sand to me.
Trans rights are human rights.

You will never make me believe that Picard would have felt differently, and if you think he would have, I really don’t know how you missed so many of the fundamental messages across all Trek properties.
I didn’t see your comment before the mods removed it, but the beauty of Lemmy is it’s in the modlog.
You’re a disgrace to the fictional character you have chosen for your pfp.
Well, if we still have a nation four years from now, someone who cares about consumer protection might do something about that.
I’ll try hard not to become a troll posting this under every headline, but that’s my reaction to just about every article now of this sort.
Company, Republican Politician, or Billionaire does something clearly unethical and probably illegal, which is officially noted and reported on.
Yeah, and? It’s not a non-wealthy citizen, a democrat, or an entity targeted by maga as woke, so we can be sure the impact of this information will be most likely zero.
We are on the stupidest, bitterest timeline.
It’s not that I don’t understand those concerns, I just don’t think those are reasons to reject the concept, nor the obligation to make an effort.
How would you solve that problem?
I doubt I have the necessary understanding of the nuance to propose any good solution. That’s not evidence that one doesn’t exist, however. And if the folks who should be responsible for such things are choosing to abdicate that responsibility, I’m going to need a better reason than “because it’s hard.”
Me too!
Well, I can at least understand your point of view. Thanks for the discussion and perspective.
That’s a solvable problem, not a reason to reject fact checking as a concept.
Yeah, I peeked at your moderation history after posting, it’s OK, I see now this is the best I could have expected in answer. Good day to you!
