Well, 1st, your sources are are weak here. However, it is a fact Brave is also run by con artists and swindlers.

The issue many users have is compatibility. Firefox zealots ignore the fact IT folks must work with Chromium. I cannot get the tools I need to work reliably on Firefox (or LibreWolf, Mullvad, etc.).

So, within the Chromium limitation, , I work on 7 systems regularly, I must have bookmark replication, MacOS/Linux/Windows/Android support:

Ungoogled Chromium = rough, no bookmark replication Vivaldi = worse than Brave, because no full source code Opera = Chinese Iridium = Indian Brave = source code available, privacy focused Edge = lol Chrome = lol

Winner? Brave. I use it with Pi-hole DNS on my home network, forced to use it with work DNS on their networks. I do also use LibreWolf (aka Firefox) with the Mullvad extension. I use it along with Brave, and hopefully at some point I can switch. I’ve tried 3 times in recent years, but too many web interfaces have Firefox issues, since it’s blatantly not being used to QA websites anymore.

Storage Engineer, Storage Consultant, Storage Architect

then mix in netapp, pure , dell emc, ecs, storage grid, cleversafe, etc.

I’m referring to BIG storage, private clouds, data lakes, etc. For example, my primary customer, In three years we’ve grown the object storage footprint by 100 petabytes. The rest of the global footprint across 110 sites is another 95PB. Commodity services do not scale, and global data transmission is typically custom tailored to the user requirements. Thinks like a 1st pass at the edge in 15 remote test sites, each crunching 100TB of raw data down to 10TB for transmission back to core, and that process happens on a clock. Other binary distribution uses cases, transmitting 50GB jobs from other continents back to core for analysis. It’s all still custom. Then there’s all the API back end work, to build out all the customer accessible storage APIs, numerous challenges there.

Everything in IT infrastructure is done “as code” now. If you know how to code, but want to do something with real hardware and solve real problems, I’d go that route. To be more specific, IT Storage has a massive shortage of people, and it is weirdly neglected as a target career by younger folks.

I know how to code in python, powershell, C, REST APIs, etc., but I cannot stand just sitting and coding for any length of time. HOWEVER I do like writing snippets of code to solve problem and automate infrastructure. Look a NetApp certifications, Pure Storage, or one of the other leading vendors. If you’re already familiar with S3 protocol / Object Storage, look at those options. I had a position open that paid $120-140k starting salary that we had open for 9 months last year until it was cancelled. We interviewed a mountain of people, we just couldn’t find a solid candidate, and the bar was pretty low. Storage is also becoming a more and more critical part of security, as protecting intellectual property stored on storage is critical for practically every major company.

I work in IT and had to abandon Firefox because of compatibility issues that came up on a regular basis. it appears companies are simply not using it as part of their QA anymore. Also, in general the GUI theming has issues for me with the font and distinguishing highlights with my crappy vision. I tried every theme out there and for some reason apparently people writing themes just don’t care to make it so you can see what is highlighted and what is not. Even The default theme sucks in my opinion. There were a number of other nits that I just kept having issues with - getting prompted on eBay to verify my identity for no reason, repeatedly, which doesn’t happen on chromium and stuff like that.

I wish Apple would adopt the Firefox rendering engine and take Safari cross platform. It would give Firefox a fighting chance at the overall market.

I wish I still had a Facebook account to post this too so the right wingers would see it.

“She fell funny”

It’s really not a rumor at this point, she informed the courts to set aside an entire week just to deal with the indictments. That’s a lot of time just for that.

Always before the political party would be pretending to care. The GOP ISN’T EVEN PRETENDING. They’ve embraced extremist fuse like banning abortion and various other wildly unbelievably unpopular things. There is massive support for gun safety legislation, for tax relief for everyday people rather than corporations, for medical care reform, younger people support science and the GOP is blatantly anti-science in every way possible, just over and over again, there is absolutely nothing at all to attract younger voters or even middle-aged voters. The pendulum will never swing back as it stands today.

We have no example anything like what we’re seeing now. Those turning 18 are 87% blue. Every day boomers die, kids turn 18, and 83,000 votes change to blue - every day. The demographics are staggering. Want to know why the “red wave” was a pink trickle? That’s why. At no point in US history in the last 150 years have we seen anything like this. The GOP will lose the Presidency in 24 - there will be over 5 million new blue voters, and people aren’t turning red as they age anymore. The GOP will lose the House and Senate too. Attrition via death - the red side doesn’t have enough voters left.

Well, fork, I hadn’t looked at this team behind Brave. I use both Firefox and Brave. Bye bye Brave…

I am using Sync, and I paid for a year of it. A year from now, I’ll evaluate and maybe pick something else. Do I care if it costs a tiny bit of $ for a solid app experience that performs better than the rest, because it has dedicated development resources? Nope. Having read the details on what data is collected, do I have privacy concerns? Nope. Do I think folks have gone a little over the top about certain things? Yes. Bad enough having to leave reddit without making it even more complicated.

Delusional that they think distributing that book in that country will promote tolerance. “So, tell me more about your ‘Prophet’ that marries 9 year old girls…”.

Of The seven Trump voters in my immediate family and friends list, zero voted for him in 2020. what do you think he has done to change that since then? I have queried them and none of them support him anymore still, quite the opposite, after the insurrection they consider him a traitor, and only one of them is skeptical about the current court cases against him. The rest expect him to go to jail, legitimately.

#Yet another anti-abortion anti-clean air GOP piece of garbage. From her bio:

** New Hampshire Attorney General Clean air emissions standards Ayotte joined Attorneys General from eight other states to sue federal regulators over a rules change that made clean air emissions standards for power plants less strict and eliminated clean air reporting and monitoring requirements.[16][17]

In 2005, the court agreed with Ayotte and the others that the Environmental Protection Agency must measure changes in the emissions from power plants and could not exempt power plants from reporting their emissions.[17]

Prosecution of murder cases As assistant attorney general, Ayotte prosecuted two defendants for the 2001 Dartmouth College murders in Etna, New Hampshire.

As attorney general, Ayotte prosecuted the high-profile case surrounding the 2006 murder of Manchester police officer Michael Briggs in the line of duty. It resulted in a conviction and death penalty sentence.[18] Members of Briggs’s family praised her leadership in television ads for her 2010 Senate campaign.[19][20]

Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England Main article: Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England In 2003, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire found the Parental Notification Prior to Abortion Act, a New Hampshire law requiring parental notification of a minor’s abortion, unconstitutional, and enjoined its enforcement. In 2004, New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed appealed the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which affirmed the district court’s ruling. In 2004, Ayotte appealed the First Circuit’s ruling to the Supreme Court, over the objection of incoming Democratic Governor John Lynch. Ayotte personally argued the case before the Supreme Court.[citation needed] The Supreme Court unanimously vacated the district court’s ruling and remanded the case back to the district court, holding that it was improper for the district court to invalidate the statute completely instead of just severing the problematic portions of the statute or enjoining the statute’s unconstitutional applications.[21] In 2007, the law was repealed by the New Hampshire legislature, mooting the need for a rehearing by the district court.[22]

In 2008, Planned Parenthood sued to recover its attorney fees and court costs from the New Hampshire Department of Justice.[23] In 2009, Ayotte, as attorney general, authorized a payment of $300,000 to Planned Parenthood to settle the suit.[24]

I was playing off the fact that Israel is about to become a full-blown dictatorship (duh). Sucks to be these people, sure.

I don’t see them all that differently than idiot anti-vaxxers dropping dead of COVID, or wacko 7th Day Adventist no blood transfusion morons dying of an infected finger going septic.

It’s actually the original spelling. That is what you respond to? lol

There is an entire nation of educators that do have those credentials that are disputing Florida’s nonsense. Meanwhile The state itself is hemorrhaging teachers, and the insurance rates have gone so high due to repeated hurricanes that my cousin, an extremely rich and successful real estate broker, is leaving the state because real estate is now imploding there. The anti-immigrant law that the far-right legislature there passed, has left the entire construction industry at a standstill as well as wreaking havoc in the agricultural industry. Meanwhile the insurance industry is flat-out leaving the state because there’s no way to make money there. At the same time Desantis and the legislature are doing nothing to evolve Florida building codes and harden the infrastructure to keep the State livable in a world with multiple major hurricanes per season.

At any rate, Florida is just plain f#cked - the exodus has begun and Desantis is adding fuel to the fire.

I think if you spend your life believing ridiculous nonsense, prompting you to live in a country run by corrupt goons, a country with laws that allow them to do stuff like this, you shouldn’t be surprised when it happens.

If you think after the epic loss Drumpf suffered last time, PR from all these criminal trials is somehow good… wow. Also, if you think pollsters didn’t learn from 2016… wow.
