  • It’s not fear of the freedom, it’s choice paralysis. People want to go to one website, sign up for one account and then be part of a network with absolutely zero research beforehand. I like the fediverse, but the barrier to entry is higher than that because it first requires you to understand the technology at a base level.

    Internet services getting shitty and then dying is nothing new. Look at MySpace, Digg, or any BBS. people just abandon the old one and join the new popular one. They’ll leave when it gets shitty enough and join the new thing

    I honestly prefer Valve’s method. You as a consumer should be reading what you’re buying before you purchase anyway, and you can still use their refund system if you somehow missed the warning.

    Removing unfinished games from the storefront just increases the amount of lost media out there. These projects should be available for as long as possible simply for archival reasons.

    Mostly it’s their attitude to controversy.

    Brave has had several major issues over the past few years and they didn’t reverse course until press got bad enough for them to make a statement and try for damage control. This includes:

    • Replacing ads on websites with their own, and collecting that revenue

    • Inserting their own referral codes into auto complete when users navigate to Binance

    • Installing an extra VPN service on Windows machines without user consent

    • Sending DNS requests to the local ISP when in TOR mode effectively removing protection against spying

    On top of all that, it’s based on Chromium, which means that Google is in control of their upstream source code.

    Yeah, I know I’m approaching fossil age, but the pen itself was first made 75 years ago. I had always assumed that the hole in the cap was a change made much closer to the 50s than sometime within my lifetime.
