"Still people want to create more distributions instead of actually implementing missing features in the existing distributions"

If people would document their stuff and would bother to give the slightest hint what should be done next for a newcommer to their project, people wouldn't have to restart everything from scratch.

"I want a truly libre, open phone! ... MY truly open libre phone that i own and brand and get rich on!"


i cannot believe you made a marketing stunt out of his situation for your shitcoin


That's not his shitcoin; rasengan is Andrew Lee,[1] and seems to have no involvement outside of an open source grant from his company a long time ago. Besides, the airdrop for Handshake was ages ago, and it was given to everyone in the Alexa top 100k, I think.

It's a stupid cryptocurrency, sure, but insinuating bad motives is probably incorrect here. He just seems to like the crypto.

users can already get this behaviour by setting 2 values in about:config why is this presented as new feature? mozilla laid off devs to start making marketing stunts?


it seems like every time one company of the technofeudalist leaders got itself into a scandal, fanboys tend to forget the previous ones. When did apple become the "lifestyle brand", the good guys? Not so long ago HN was full of the storm how apps stopped working when tracking servers went down. Apple shares the very same interests around your personal data, it's just that facebook is a reseller and apple is an enduser of your privacy.


It depends on the issue. When it comes to privacy apple are the good guys AFAIK, they aren't in the surveillance tech business like google, facebook, and half of silicon valley.

When it comes to empowering users to control and modify/repair their own devices and the software running on them apple are the bad guys.

You'll see different responses depending on the topic at hand.


> When did apple become [...] the good guys?

The piece you're missing is that there are different groups of "fanboys". When a particular news story reinforces one group's ideas, you hear a lot from them in the comments. When news is ambiguous or non-threatening to a group, they stay silent in the comments. (If it's threatening they come out to defend)


have you used fiat investment apps lately? if you dont want monolithic hedge funds close trading and sell your assets without your concent and then wipe any negative speech of the fact from the app store, stick to cryptocurrencies


sorry OP but this just means that since '97, UX evolved faster than a human can follow (as usual in tech) and you are just out of touch with current trends. UX is still of the same, if not better importance as a decade ago (remember that uber is just taxi with better ux, airbnb is just accomodation with better ux, and revolut is just banking with better ux)


why "duck" though?


Haha fair enough. I like ducks, and thought it was a memorable name that had the domain available :)


and in return, brave replaces your urls with their affilate links. no thanks i'll took the hassle to open tor browser on an ipfs client


You're referring to a bug from June of 2020, which was patched within a couple days of discovery, IIRC. An issue which had no privacy or security impact. Details in our blog on the subject: https://brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/. Happy to answer any questions you may have.


That was a bug that was fixed pretty quickly. Details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25841456


Are we talking about BAT? Thought that was an opt in feature.


It's on by default. If I had a complaint about Brave, is that it's a bit "noisy" by default. I'd like more customization options on setup so that there's less customization I have to do once the browser is installed.


this won't be a question of what the user wants to do with these parts. I bet it won't even be accessible for common programmers. Applications will simply constantly racing between each other and reprogram the field programmable part of my cpu every startup


systemd-run -p DynamicUser=true <yourcommand>
