it only makes money until people don’t actually remove the bloatware. so if it does make money, that’s telling something

Firefox/Chrome - you need all kinds of addons and pihole type setups to do the same thing.

bullshit

you need a single addon, ublock origin. enable additional builtin blocklists according to taste.
you can have additional addons for additional functionality. does brave have libredirect built in? does it block and redirect google AMP sites by default? does it have a feature to only delete cookies regularly for specific sites?

and let’s not forget the elephant in the room: ublock is not working anymore in chrome! google made it so that you can only use the inferior lite version, that can only load much much fewer filtering rules into the browser.
I don’t know if brave kept supporting mv2 extensions, but if they do, I guarantee to you that it won’t be that way for long. it has been relatively easy sailing so far because google did not actually remove support, but it will be lots of work when finally google does remove it, and they’ll be needing to patch it in for every new version

pihole is not used for firefox, and that’s never been its use case. It’s for everything else that uses the internet, but cannot have something like ublock origin: various software, windows itself, android and apps there, smart home and iot garbage.
Honestly this statement of yours proves to me that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

All these tools break with updates, whether they are the browsers or addons/tools themselves.

I have no idea what you are talking about. anyone else?

I don’t know, because haven’t been around long enough, but yeah possibly they started using the red pro type there

well, it depends. if they were dropped just because they are smr and were writing slowly, I think they are fine. but otherwise…

what array system do you use? some raid software, or zfs?

now, that sounds more interesting than just “unsupported”!

they were selling wd red (pro?) drives with smr tech, which is known to be disastrous for disk arrays because both traditional raid and zfs tends to throw them out. the reason for that is when you are filling it up, especially when you do it quickly, it won’t be able to process your writes after some time, and write operations will take a very long time, because the disk needs to rearrange its data before writing more. but raid solutions just see that the drive is not responding to the write command for a long time, and they think that’s because the drive is bad.

it was a few years ago, but it was a shitfest because they didn’t disclose it, and people were expecting that nas drives will work fine in their nas.

but then wd and their fake red nas drives with smr tech?

what else we have?

or they would just gasp and then forget in 3 minutes, because people got desensitized.

I have lost faith in humanity. nothing would happen. not a thing.

Videoconferences? Forget about it. Images that look normal? You don’t need them.

what? these are non-existent. jitsi works fine. webaudio api was disabled by default a few years ago, but not anymore.

but I have no idea what do you mean with images

and teflon. don’t forget about teflon.

this reads like the next step is to force them to freeze theirs

you all have someone to talk to about your projects?

I often wonder if yours is an automated account, but did you read the comments?

bitcoin is a bad currency but you absolutely can buy legal things. like, check shopinbit. there’s also a similar website that buys the thing for you from amazon

I don’t think bitcoin provides much value in itself. Its basically an asset that is hard to make more of, like money or gold, which are also valuable because of this and that gold and specific currencies are relatively widely used.

bitcoin’s supposed added value over money is private digital transactions across the globe in a private way, so that you can send money whoever you want, but it’s not practically private, and has so large operating costs (even just the transaction fee) that it’s not really better than bank transactions.

so in short: its value is in its scarcity, and that you can speculate on it. the other possible advantages are not realized.

since the value is in speculation, the dollar limit is when investors start selling enough of it so that others will do the same out of fear. which is who knows how much. but it’s probably more related to other factors than the dollar value.

because most of us know this is bullshit

I agree with the depicted actual developers, but this is still funny
