Until their users found out.
- Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 4 months ago:
Even an audit is really just someone else saying “trust me bro”. You have some level of trust.
- Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 4 months ago:
My confidence is inversely proportional to any evidence you have to the contrary.
- Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 4 months ago:
They don’t keep a search history. Your searches aren’t tied to anything, because they aren’t even saved. They don’t have any reason to save them since they aren’t selling any targeted ads.
- Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 4 months ago:
That’s why all the top results on every search are actual results, instead of a bunch of ads.
Totally worth it. - Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 4 months ago:
Kagi does it already.

- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
If you want this, do that. But don’t do that only because you want this.
It’s still pretty contradictory.
I think it’s just one of the necessary contradictions/lies that society requires to function. - Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 4 months ago:
That’s better.
I wasn’t confused. It just looked like you were.
It’s still great, but at least its not clearly wrong. - Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
If you want Y, do X.
But don’t do X because you want Y. - Comment on Please give some feedback on this proposed model to fund musicians in the Fediverse (an alternative to Bandcamp / Spotify) 4 months ago:
I like the general idea!
Specific implementation would make all the difference. The percentage splitting would have to be very graphical to be intuitive and used by most. And artists would need a way to sign up once, and be paid from all instances.
It sounds like a massive project. But one that may be worth while.

That doesn’t sound very “Open”.
- Comment on Sustaining Proton’s mission over time | Proton 4 months ago:
Proton Photos as a simple archive sure. Drive can already do that.
But they won’t be able to do any of the fancy AI driven features, as they would all require Proton to have direct access to the images. That goes against the whole idea of Proton.
- Comment on Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth? 4 months ago:
But now your talking about something else unrelated to what time you get up for work.
- Comment on Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth? 4 months ago:
It’s literally just a number and doesn’t make any tangible difference.
- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 4 months ago:
In some other countries like South America
- Comment on The Dating App Paradox: Why dating apps may be 'worse than ever' 4 months ago:
Are those similar in some way? I don’t see the connection.
Even if your “Stupid is as stupid does” argument is true. Do you think it’d be common enough to be a problem? How common?
- Comment on The Dating App Paradox: Why dating apps may be 'worse than ever' 4 months ago:
You think someone would give up on a real relationship just to a some money back?
Would you? How much money would be worth giving up on “The One”? - Comment on NVIDIA’s new AI chatbot runs locally on your PC 4 months ago:
There are a number of local AI LLMs that run on any modern CPU. No GPU needed at all, let alone RTX.
- Comment on Google Pulls the Plug: The End of Third-Party Cookies and What it Means | TWiT.TV 4 months ago:
Yes, exactly.
- Comment on The Dating App Paradox: Why dating apps may be 'worse than ever' 4 months ago:
The only fix I came up with, is to charge people some amount up front, then if they’re still active weekly users in 6 months, they get a refund. That would create a better incentive structure for the app.
- Comment on What normies see when someone posts here claiming Disco isn't canon 4 months ago:
That would be the lie part.
- Comment on What normies see when someone posts here claiming Disco isn't canon 4 months ago:
The whole idea of “Canon” is a comforting self delusion and lie.
Let it go. Enjoy what’s in front of you. Stop getting distracted by things that don’t really matter to the story at hand. That’s how TOS did it. - Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees? 4 months ago:
When I read the title question, my immediate answer was “If the rapist is a gay man, or a straight woman.”
- Comment on How would fedi fans feel about a paid LinkedIn alternative on the fediverse? 4 months ago:
Yes exactly.
You can pay to fund the instance you use. To help ensure it’s worth the time of whoever is managing it.
It’s how Communick works. Or is hoped to work. It seems difficult for many fedicins to understand that developing the software and managing the hardware won’t ever be free. Someone needs to pay for it.
- Comment on 'It's definitely backfiring': Seattle ordinance intended to help app delivery workers is 'hurting' them 4 months ago:
I expect this is temporary as the market adjusts to the new prices. Eventually drivers will leave since its not worth it to them, increasing the orders per driver. It’ll work out.
- Comment on Boffins find AI models tend to escalate conflicts to all-out nuclear war 4 months ago:
WarGames told us this is 1983.

The trick is to have the AIs play against themselves a whole bunch of times, to learn that the only way to win is not to play.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new service tries to wipe your data off the web 4 months ago:
The front page there is literally: “Give us your email, so we can find leaks of your email.” It’s exactly the same thing.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new service tries to wipe your data off the web 4 months ago:
I can also see the irony. But I can’t imagine another way to do it at any scale. Do you know of any other way?
- Comment on Vivaldi explains why they will not embed LLM functionality in their browser 4 months ago:
I do this already. It’s great. Kagi has a browser plugin that does it.

That could be. Maybe some alloy? Not sure
