It’s everyone’s business that cares about those people.

But is it though?

Believing that same-sex marriage shouldn’t be a government-supported institution isn’t the same as believing LGBT people are “invalid” or “wrong” or whatever.

For example, I personally oppose government-supported marriage entirely (despite being married myself) because I think marriage should be a religious/personal thing instead of an official government institution, and that we should replace it with a series of contracts that grant certain legal privileges (e.g. joint tax filing, power of attorney, etc) in an a la carte type setup (i.e. you may want to join finances w/ someone, but not give them hospital visitation rights). I think we should also allow more than two parties to enter into these agreements to cover a wide variety of unique living situations (e.g. you may want to joint file with a parent that you care for).

I don’t know Eich’s personal political views, and I honestly don’t care, as long as they don’t interfere with his role.

That’s a monumental task. They would have had to create their own ad network similar to Google and then solicit every site on the web to participate.

Not necessarily. For example, they could partner w/ someone like Axate, which basically does just this.

Only because they got caught, and they didn’t refund any of the crypto they earned in the interim.

My understanding is that they can’t really do that, because the payments are anonymous. I could be mistaken though.

When it comes to TOR, mistakes can be a matter of life and death. People only use TOR when they need complete anonymity.

And if that applies to you, you should be very careful about the tools you use. Brave is a new thing and is relatively unproven. Use established, proven tools like Tor Browser.

Not true. I like Our Lord Gaben. I like Meredith Whitaker. I like lots of CEOs.

Eh, I don’t really like Gabe Newell, but I certainly appreciate the investment into Linux. It just so happens our interests align more than they don’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if GabeN’s personal politics were quite conservative, because conservative policies generally benefit rich people like him (the closest I can see is maybe libertarian).

Meredith Whitaker is an absolute treasure, we don’t deserve her.
