  • "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me."

  • I agree that some distro desktop are good. Others are a pain in the ass in orders of magnitude never seen before.

    But it will be hard to make Linux the default when many programs are made to target windows only and most people are already used to Window's fuckery.

  • The point I'm making is that it's not like Brave installed the VPN in secret, hidden away to it's own devices. The code is there and a service is installed, sure, but it's dormant until the user activates it.

  • Unfortunately, unless Microsoft fucks up BIG time and makes Windows simply unusable, people will continue to use it. I think the year of the Linux desktop will come by the time GTA VII gets released, once we all here are six feet under.

  • Firefox also installs telemetry and data reporting functions like most browsers, also libraries like libwebp, which are prone to critical vulnerabilities (as seen), encryption systems like Encrypted Client Hello, and software like Pocket, which some users never use, but it's still there.

    Any browser will install many features that probably won't be used. Saying that a browser that installs a feature like Tor or VPN (which aren't even hidden, Brave publicly present those features) is automatically bad doesn't sound reasonable to me.

  • I don't think we're talking about the same Spacewar. The Spacewar I'm talking about is "used" by pirated games only to the extent that they make steam think the pirated game is spacewar, unlocking access to the steamworks API, including multiplayer support.
