Even if altruistic, your proposal to “ban it” is not consistent with free and open societies.

Also do you realize what we’re communicating on now can be considered social media. Should this be banned too?

“I don’t like xyz; ban it.” – that’s the same reasoning that ends up banning prolific books to “keep us safe.”

For those of you not aware of details like me, here’s a summary. One of the protestors shot a cop with an AR-15. I can’t see a proper justification as to why the rest of them received such harsh sentences though.

After a three-week jury trial, the nine activists were all found guilty of a slew of criminal charges in March, stemming from a Fourth of July protest at an immigrant detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, south of Fort Worth. The demonstrators arrived late at night with a plan to set off fireworks as part of a noise demonstration to show solidarity with those detained inside. A few of the protesters spontaneously broke off from the main group and vandalized cars in the parking lot, a guard shack, slashed the tires on a government van and broke a security camera. When a police officer arrived on the scene and drew his weapon, one of the activists fired an AR-15, hitting the officer in the shoulder. The officer survived.

Can someone post the full article in a comment? I tried workarounds to read the full article but nothing worked.

I was hoping for a happier ending

Fair enough. But I wasn’t picturing them simultaneously doing it.

Enshittification is a contagious disease that spreads slowly.

Why?

What about investments?

Loading prepaid debit cards at gas stations sounds like a rough life. I’d like to think that I’d have more conviction for privacy if it came to that, but everyone has their line I guess.

Ppl say this with such conviction but what about your bank website? What if it becomes industry standard and you have no other options? Just going to keep all your money in cash?

I read this as “broken sphincter?” for some reason

I haven’t heard of Zen and just checked out the wiki on it.

There are so many browsers! It’s hard to decide. I’ve tried quite a few over the years. Been running Brave as primary for 3-4 years.

I appreciate the Reddit link. Yikes. I’ve noticed the enshittification of Brave but didn’t know all the bad stuff they’ve done.

I do like that Brave works well on all my devices and sync is reliable. I don’t like running different browsers on diff platforms.

Time to do some testing and research…

It’s so hard to find good things as it is. Adding in politics of devs adds yet another layer to it!

I recently started using FUTO keyboard and then learned someone they associate with is a bad dude.

It’s like, come on guys. I’m trying to degoogle, avoid enshittification, and be privacy and security aware… and then there’s this curveball that I have to factor in too.

I’m using waterfox as my dedicated porn browser and have found few faults. Maybe I’ll go that direction for my main browser.

I tried LibreWolf and had issues that I can’t remember now.

I read the article.

But also I’m out of the loop on why ppl hate Brave. Can someone clue me in?

Is there a better cross-platform browser? I like to use the same one across devices.

A lot of my friction moving from 1PW to BW was due to TOTP (2fa codes) being stored inside 1PW.

So now that I have those codes in a different service than my password manager, I hope it’s a less painful process as you describe.

I pay for Proton but still hesitate to move passwords there because I could easily see Proton developing a penchant for sniffing their own farts.

I JUST fucking moved from 1PW to BW and super irritated at the prospect of moving again so soon. Sellouts.
