  That’s probably a day’s profits. Fines are just a cost of doing business to massive corporations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I recommend against Brave.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s Ungoogled Chromium which claims to do just that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My RX480 from 2016 is still kicking, if crashing a bit. At this rate when it breaks I’ll just use my steam deck docked instead of selling my liver to buy a new GPU

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Brave is full of adverts for crypto and is owned by a homophobe

  Ah, back in the good ol’ days when there were no bodycams to turn off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First UK arrest made over filming of women on nights out without consent⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Again that’s not the case for protesters but the police just do whatever they like, who am I gonna complain to … the police?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First UK arrest made over filming of women on nights out without consent⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder why the police don’t name and shame this guy like they do for protesters

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seeing a sticker blocking a macbook's logo makes me realise it's a macbook more than just seeing the apple⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because Apple products are instantly recognizable but the logo gets covered up in media for legal reasons. A big BBC sticker on the back of a macbook just makes it even more obvious that it’s a macbook because it draws the eye to it and often the light bleeds through the thin stickers anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Surely a “friendly state” wouldn’t, on several occasions, purposefully bomb evacuating civilians or UN health workers or starve civilians? Also, friendly state is an oxymoron.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Teardown has wonderful raytracing but again they’re not going for photo realism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’d appreciate The Prisoner. One of the core themes of that show is the misuse of technology by the ruling class

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
