    making (presumably) thousands of dollars off their users

    I agree with this post completely but for some reason you finishing with this makes me chuckle.

    Oh no! Thousands! They might be able to pay rent for a month or two!

    I’m just being cheeky, and while its true what they did was scummy, it also feels like a really… smallish amount of money?

    If we’re literally just talking thousands, and not tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.

    But yeah, fuck Brave.

    Firefox gang and Hardened Firefox gang here to stay.

    Mozilla’s got its own problems but that’s a story for another day.




  • Depends on the government.

    The internet is endlessly being scraped for data, especially by governments. Lemmy can be scraped just as easily as any other website.

    Some governments are happy to let people more or less discuss whatever, because they know revolutionary steam is blown off by being allowed to talk about bad conditions. A loose grip has been shown to be more effective than a tight grip, when it comes to control.

    Other governments are more strict, and it doesn’t matter where you’ve been critical of them. If they can figure out who you are, and find out you said something on Lemmy that they think they can prosecute. Oh, they will, they will.

    I think you’re missing their point.

    Indy was always “it belongs in a museum” when its an intricate part of some foreign nations history. That museum always seemed to be British or US.

    The point being they’re just stealing their history back. A reverse Indy.

    “It belongs to the culture it came from. Allow them to choose what to do with it. Perhaps they even have their own museums.”









  • I get that, but Windows/Powershell isn’t case-sensitive, so you can type it all lowercase if you want (I do).

    Linux on the other hand is case sensitive despite most GNU tools defaulting to all lower case. There’s definitely a bunch of case-sensitive switches in Linux CLI applications.

    There has been optional case-insensitive file system support in Linux for a few years now, though.


  • It feels like lemmy users are too shy because of reddit popularity.

    I see you’ve never heard of the 90%/9%/1% rule of social media users.

    90% are lurkers. 9% are intermittent posters. 1% are heavy use posters.

    It’s not that people are shy, it’s that literally with a fraction of the userbase Reddit has, that 10% that actually makes posts is just a smaller number of people.
