Dunno, I’d say they’re working pretty hard on this already:
Windows 10 is about to expire
Windows 11 has extra ads and telemetry.
Windows 11 has invasive AI recall
Windows 11 won’t run on hardware < 7th gen Intel or without TPM chips
All the new apps are getting AI components that can snitch on what you’re doing. You can’t even post something into notepad without it being aware of what’s in your content and calling home.
It won’t trigger or accept my Bitwarden passkeys, and on google, if I do the use other device, it pops on my phone for bio auth, but the browser just never accepts the credentials.
I’d try it if I were you, I do a lot of strange things. just check to make sure they work for you first.
I wore out 2 copies of Short Circuit. I could start working on a third.
Long live the Duck
or SearX, which by proxy uses the duck and whoever else :P
Floatplane is feeling that. At small scale, they’re really a poor value proposition.
The other value is… copyright: Because
Copyright is the one thing I can’t think of a way to work around in a decentralized fashion. There is very little to stop people from hosting non-free movies, TV shows, or other people’s content. Community policing can only do so much.
The lack of proper copywriter policing prevents you from using their centralized monetization strategy. If you get paid to let them overlay ads, people will just record and repost your videos. If you use sponsorship, Sponsorblock will eat your lunch. You can try to do lockdown and Patreon; eventually, someone will copy and repost your stuff for free. Unauthorized copying ties closely with monetization. Without monetization, the lion’s share of content providers aren’t going to bother.
Most of the other problems are technical issues that can be solved, but there has to be a willingness to share a little more resources at the client level and enough money in it for people to develop the systems. The TB/day problem would evaporate if people had to pay a small amount for the GB of garbage they’re uploading to YouTube to get rich quick. I’m honestly shocked they haven’t added tiny fees for storage at their basic cost for the service. If your stuff takes off, they pay you for the ad view, if it doesn’t take off, you’ll be likely to remove the worthless burden from their system.

Yeah, sadly, bringing Brave into any browser conversation is like saying, “Please take a dump on my face.” And I get some of the vitriol. Brave would likely sell you down the river for $7 if they thought they could get away with it, but so would two-thirds of the browsers out there. Even Firefox, the last true holdout at the moment, is hungry. I hope they find a rev stream before they do something drastic.
I like the concept of letting you choose the ads you see and earning some of the compensation. But it needs to happen at the advertiser level. I’d like a world where I pay a little to the browser, a little to the originator, and maybe get a small pool to dedicate to a site or cause I want to patronize.
I think the biggest barrier on peer tube is the lack of easy monetization. Your average content maker is not ready to seek out a sponsorship and maintain that relationship. Vast majority of content we have out there is because people are seeking to make a few bucks.
And that’s why I keep them in the running. They openly claim that they intend to support V2 for as long as they are able but they admit the possibilities of having to push that code in if chromium made it difficult enough to maintain.
Yeah, I’m using Ninja on about 120 boxes. It’s set to auth critical only. If someone reports a problem, we’ll go ahead and blacklist that update temporarily while we sorted out even though it’s semi-automated they never happen all at once there’s always a couple of canaries that get up a little early.
Yeah, I don’t use their sync for bookmarks. I just keep the plugins the same with that. I installed the X bookmarks plugin everywhere and just do a manual export/import when I want to. Is keeping my toolbars lined up between all the different browsers.
That’s what people are doing with sponsored segments.
My gut is that if Peertube had an ad marketplace that content providers would flock to it. But ODYSEE already failed at monetization. And then you’d have to have some kind of guardrails in place to keep people from hosting pirated* movies for $$$.

Lol GPT vs Copilot were in stark contrast…
I think the journalists should just try to stick to things they understand. They probably ran a single query and it failed so they kept going on the same conversation.
Sometimes the difference between a good answer and a bad answer is two or three attempts.
It’s not like LLM’s are particularly good at sussing out lies anyway. It’s like summarize the concepts in the article than do web searches on each one trying to find an answer. It’s a fairly expensive query that they’re honestly going to try to avoid if they can.
I use PIA a lot, But yeah a lot of VPNs are getting flagged as malicious these days, to be fair there’s a lot of malicious people doing things on them.
I’m fairly certain he just tell you if you got him doing his rambling thing.
That’s a fairly long time ago now and the crypto token crap is off by default. As far as I know they are the only browser with a paid development team that is trying to combat YouTube ads. And they’re blocking technique is unique amongst the options we have. If it comes down to using Brave for YouTube, I have no problem with doing that.
With the change in political atmosphere I suspect they’re going to get a lot more leeway to do things we don’t care for. I wonder if they could lobby to make ad blocking illegal.
There’s a lot of people out there running automation to keep their servers secure. Well I agree any automation out there should be able to flag and upgrade excluded, It would seem to me like Microsoft should own some of the blame for a full ass hard to uninstall OS update fed in with the same stream and without it interaction. I kind of expect my OS in stall pop up a window and say hey a****** this is going to upgrade your system, are you cool with that. I don’t know how it works these days but I know back in the day going between versions you would have to refresh your licensing on a large upgrade.
Oh, let there be no mistake, Trump doesn’t give a damn about manufacturing inside our borders. Trump wants to do what the companies pay him to do. It’ll be the US corporations that have to allow the invasion of Taiwan, I suspect that he’ll have a vested interest in keeping Taiwan around.
