You can train the models locally now too. Have been able to for awhile actually, don’t even need the latest graphics card, a 3090 or older high server GB cards would work.

Yeah, you’re right, people are too soft.

They should do that was done to Nazis during the war instead. Let me know if you volunteer walking into a BAR.

It’s people like you why I have to keep this damn gif around:

And then he ended up with the Pine twins! Next thing you know, a damn triangle is messing up the space time continuum

France’s arsenal is enough to wipe out most of Russia’s population, since most of Russia is villages and nature, with most of it concentrated in the western side

And if Russia does so Germany and France might do the same.

Hence why they haven’t picked any fights against NATO either.

Finland, Sweden, and Estonia will take over St. Petersburg while Russia is busy trying to take a Baltic region that has the support of the rest of Europe? Not to mention I think Poland won’t allow that shit to happen a THIRD time in about a century - they’ve been prepping for awhile now.

I mean, it would turn into a three pronged war where the first prong has already been struggling to even keep territory let alone gain it. Most of the pro soldiers are gone and it’ll be conscripts dealing with professional armies with modern tech.

It’s not an association fallacy or poisoning the well if those things are actually being done, which has already been covered in the previous comments. Goggles is another current example of that.

You can go on and have your last word now, I’m done with your bad faith argument. I think there’s enough evidence in this comment thread by now for others to see you’re being disingenuous.

I’m sorry, do you genuinely think that burning some random guy’s car is actual retaliation?

When that car has become a symbol, definitely. The car being burnt isn’t random after all.

Otherwise your statement has the same energy as saying we shouldn’t burn some random guy’s work uniform. It omits that this is the uniform:

You really underestimate how many people buy above their means for cars.

As far as I’ve seen, most Teslas being scorched are dealership ones, not personal ones. But even if it were a personal one, isn’t insurance mandatory in the USA? Probably would get a bigger payout if someone did torch it rather than trading in at a dealership. And would definitely probably get more out of it than if it were just keyed and the tires were punctured. Bonus, one less swatsicar in circulation.

If you’re happy with tracking and spying at the browser level, then fine, but I’m interested in how we can put an end to that.

And brave has shown it’s not a solution to that at all, so there’s literally no reason to defend them, or use them.

Goggles is the first part, the owner is the second part

In short, I support these probably for the same reason you oppose Eich: I believe in freedom. I guess I define that a bit more liberally than you do.

I know you fake mofos are the type to always need to get the last word because it makes it seem to other dumdums that getting the last say is somehow “winning”, but I’m leaving this link here for anyone who remotely might believe your take is a good one:

Unfortunately due to how insurance works, damaging Teslas is yet another way to raise premiums.

Also, this isn’t about joining a cause anymore. This is about the only method of retaliation left. I assume most who could afford a Tesla (which was always on the higher priced side of things) are also those who could have by now afforded to do a trade in for basically any other car for months by now.

If I myself somehow still had a Tesla, I’d get rid of it for a used car if I had to. If I could afford it though, I’d pay for a punk band to create a song against Elon and Trump, and shoot a music video of said punk band and friends destroying the Tesla in slow mo and lighting it on fire, ending it with the car blowing up.

Actually, how about you find poor people who own a Tesla and reach out to them. I’ll crowdfund for them so we can make this music video happen, and the proceeds will go for them to buy a new car. Find me more than one and I can do different music videos - maybe dubstep or electronica while this guy shoots his plasma cannon at it. Or Classical music or an orchestra as we destroy a car with icicles and rust for example.

It’s not a strawman, it’s the problem.

It’s a strawman you’re still trying to prop up because the issue is not only the Brave browser itself, but the owners of it.

Even if we took your argument in good faith, it would still be flawed since Brave is based on Chromium, of which Google essentially controls at this point, so you’d still be supporting Google hegemony. In other words, even from that stance you’ve brought up, it would be a bad idea to use Brave vs Firefox, Librewolf, Konqueror, etc.

After a significant amount of time. Longer than Brave’s blunders. And rehabilitation is not erasure. Likewise, murder enough and society will consider to instead remove the person from society as well instead of rewarding them.

Murderer is a noun. Once you’ve murdered that’s what you are, regardless of past or present or future. People can change, but that doesn’t change what you’ve done in the past and have become, because you can’t undo what you did.

6 months to 5 years isn’t “A long time ago” btw. I think it takes at least a decade to start considering something a long time ago.

That’s a really concise and thoughtless way to excuse Google, Microsoft and Apple for monetizing spying on every person on earth for profit.

Nice strawman you got there. I think anyone with eyes can see I didn’t bring them up because most (all?) Lemmy users know Firefox and its forks exist.

And yes, Linux distros have a business model. I’m happy that distros found a business model through offering official support to corporations, it makes it truly free to the rest of us. It also helps that their competition is very expensive. Will that model work for a browser? What do you think?

That’s… Literally how browsers used to work. Netscape was a paid browser. Orion is starting to look into that model as well.

And yes, you just pointed out of possible to raise funds without pulling the shit Brave has, as Linux distros have done… So, congrats on getting the point? A little slow, but you got there.

It’s still being kept up to date, just not getting new features, and the security issues have been patched up as they come along. It’s not a dead project yet. Maintaining Librewolf isn’t impossible since Firefox is doing the heavy lifting.

The main issue is mostly that it relies on Firefox.

Honestly, I don’t mind the paid browser route. Browsers, and a lot of software, used to be paid, and it feels like things were less shit when some of it was.

I think ideally we’d see 2 versions of software like some used to be in the 90s - a free, stripped down version that only does basic functions (think Microsoft WordPad Vs Microsoft Word) and a pair full version. This model can still allow FOSS to exist as well, like perhaps having LibreOffice as is, and then having an enterprise version that has additional networking features and support that’s paid for businesses, with all money from that going into the maintenance of LibreOffice.

First of all, @Ulrich@feddit.org , thanks for calling out the bullshit of this professional far right fire hydrant apologist. You’ve stayed on track with the main issue of their argument despite them wanting to hide attention away from it.

The reason their propaganda sounds reasonable is because it pretends to be rational and sounds calm, when in reality it’s ignoring extremely glaring issues. In one of these cases for example, it’s pretending that funding intolerance isn’t intolerance. Another is ignoring details, such as how the crypto scam was essentially malware, and did cause performance hits to devices using Brave (part of the reason why it was caught).

Second of all, for everyone following along this far, I just want to point out the false equivalency between something like hard drugs and gambling - things that literally statistically bring literal harm - to marriage.

And finally, we’re done entertaining, bullshit in the tea - that’s why Teslas are burning. Remember that when shit hits the fan.

Holy copium batman, imagine excusing malware and checks notes literally aiding in denying rights to LGBTQ+ people.

Let me guess, you pretend to be centrist by day, and you wear

By night?
