Signal refusing to federate with WhatsApp, even though meta says they will still use the signal protocol is the most bone headed decision I have ever seen from them.

There no better chance to break the network effect than this.

As if there is any comparison, bing is miles better, especially in gpy-4 mode.

I’ve seen dumb answers to this, “Google is fine because I don’t care what they know, it’s not going to affect my life”

You know it’s funny that everytime someone says something you don’t like they are immediately right wingers.

I don’t even live in the west to have anything to do with left-right politics. And its fine that many don’t agree with your view points, aren’t the myriad of companies putting LGBTQ flags enough for you?

They are not the same rights.

It’s nothing privacy invasive. It’s a way to improve their search engine, these hit pieces against brave always get over amplified for no reason.

Well I am already used to using software from people who I don’t agree with in politics.

We are using one right now, Lemmy’s devs are AFAIK tankies, and that doesn’t really matter.

Also not all people share your political opinions.

You are being sold access to their AI model, not just content. OpenAI is doing the same thing, and until the court bans that, it’s legally ok, if you are asking morally, then that differs from person to person, and for companies any competitve edge is worth it.

I personally stopped caring as its going to happen anyway, the only way to stop it is the courts to get involved, as any search engine won’t be competitve without AI assists.

And even that isn’t clear, we don’t know if AI learning is fair use or not, they are many arguments on both side, with big names like the EFF siding with the fair use.

You can do that with docker too, not that it’s flawless of course, networking is just awful. Same thing on Podman.

Honestly I don’t care about his political beliefs, and Brave search is the only competitve independent search engine out there, it’s genuinely a joy to use. Until AI crawling gets banned they aren’t doing anything wrong.

Brave continues to be the best mainstream private browser, backed by actions instead of empty words like Firefox.

This not exclusive to brave, AI copyright is still not clear. Bing and others like Bard are doing the same.

I agree, the VPN app is just awful, and now drive will take forever to arrive on Linux, probably with a half assed version too.

I don’t know what they have multiple apps, just create one app for everything, mail and calender bridge and sync. A VPN makes sense to be separate, but that can be included too.

Though mail + Simplelogin + VPN(just using the wireguard config) is a killer combination, now with Pass being almost ready to use, proton Unlimited is a very good subscription.
