I heard like @poVoq@lemmy.ml said it’s closer to 10-12h battery (though it depends on your system’s power settings/tweaks). But personally i never had any laptop with more than 3-4h battery so even 6-8h would be pretty good by my standards ;)
Brave is really a cryptoscam like any other. Lack of monetization is not the problem on the Internet. Monetization in other areas of life is. As long as we try to “fix” the problem of content creators by finding new ways to exploit/track users to come up with advertisement money, we are ignoring “how to survive with all my bills” is a problem we have in all fields, not just for artists.
Brave has shown over the years they won’t hesitate for a second to introduce a very user-hostile change for all users if that brings them money. Trash it in the dumpster.
Also, it’s a worrying trend that most new Web 3.0 browsers as they like to call themselves all have strong JavaScript support. Client-side scripting is an anti-feature of the web and only Tor Browser includes a mechanism (Safest mode) to disable it. If you have JavaScript enabled, privacy/security is impossible by design.
PS: i downvoted because i’m strongly opposed to Brave’s recuperation strategy, not because your post in itself is bad :)
the bug that allowed your ISP to view TOR sites
It’s an honest mistake and is mostly not a problem. Brave browser was never meant for privacy. Tor project always strongly recommended to use Tor Browser NOT ANY OTHER browser for accessing .onion, precisely because of such problems… this is the first thing people are told when they start to use Tor: don’t use any other browser than Tor browser or you’ll have plenty of leaks of all kinds.
Signal encrypts everything and always has.
This is not exactly true. Encrypting metadata is most times impossible due to the server needing to know who to deliver messages to (at the very least). “Sealed sender” is now a thing (though i don’t know how strong a protection that is), but to my knowledge Signal continues to aggressively expose users’ phone numbers both to the server (in a hashed formed, for contact discovery) and to other users in public chatrooms. Please correct me if wrong.
it’s owned by a non-profit
A non-profit doesn’t mean you need to do good. Also, it can turn into a for-profit over the years. It’s in fact a conscious strategy of startups in the field of “sharing economy” (remember couchsurfing?)
This is why I believe Matrix is the future.
Matrix is one among others, but i’m not convinced a single solution is going to be the best:
They all have strong arguments going for/against them. I believe interoperability is the only way to go. These network are doing mostly the same thing, and there’s no reason we can’t talk across networks.
Which brings me to the fact matrix folks really don’t seem to care about interoperability though i hope i’m wrong about this.
A gateway to Reddit may be useful but:
You can take a look at Bridgy as they already have a Reddit gateway.

This article should not be in /c/Science because it’s not a scientific piece. It’s a piece of propaganda for the tech industry.
What’s stopping electric cars? While not exactly a blocker (thanks to official propaganda), there are very good chances that electric cars pollute A LOT more than their mechanical counterparts. How is that, you may wonder?
Well the base structure of the car is the same. Except instead of feeding your car gasoline, you feed it electricity. This has two consequences:
Electric cars are not a solution by any means. Unless you run a bike to charge them (or use a nearby water stream), they’re by far even more polluting than traditional cars.
What’s fake about Covid19? I don’t believe it’s dangerous enough to warrant a confinement like we had here (which introduced a lot more suffering than the disease itself) but there’s nothing fake about it…
Still i agree with your point that tracking does not prevent actual problems. This is the argument we had with CCTV around two decades ago: a camera isn’t gonna help you in case of problem.
Hello dear leninists, maoists and authoritarians of all stripes. This was posted in /c/anarchism so please keep your downvotes to yourselves. You are only welcome here to engage in insightful criticism of our respective formatting, not to spew your hate and spit on us.
If you come here to judge us, please take a fucking look in your own backyard. There’s some fucked up shit to dig over there ;)
how you would propose preventing hierarchies from forming
Well that’s very precisely what anarchism is about: a collection of mental tool and individual/collective strategies to sabotage all forms of domination.
hierarchical organization tends to outcompete one that’s non hierarchical
That is true. Most autonomous communes have been assimilated or exterminated over the years. Contrary to popular belief, the middle ages were a rather free time for those people who lived far away from the centers of power. Nowadays, nobody can escape State control. This state of things was obtained through a mix of technological progress (gasoline motors considerably expanded the reach of State control) and progressive narrative (“public school is mandatory for the good of the children”).
It seems to me that many anarchists work of an assumption that majority of people will have a similar mindset to their own and choose the anarchist approach voluntarily.
Many anarchists are very skeptical/defiant and would rather on a daily basis only interact/cooperate with other anarchists (affinity) because they assume other people have an opposite mindset. However, despite all our formatting from years of school and media propaganda, most people in practice agree with anarchist principles when faced with actual situations, for example:
Many people have argued in the past that in nature humans and other species tend towards anarchism (disinterested cooperation). That was the main point of Kropotkin’s Mutual aid, or David Graber’s Are you an anarchist? the answer may surprise you.
Despite my criticizing “nature” as a valid concept at all, i do believe most humans tend to be compassionate and critical by default, and it takes considerable amount of resources to indoctrinate people into behaving otherwise. For example, it takes many years of public schools to “teach” kids helping one another is cheating… and some like me will never “learn” ;)
Any ideology that aims to be successful has to be able to effectively compete with and hold its own against others.
Competing is not exactly the word. But authoritarian systems and libertarian capitalist communes tend to exterminate alternatives, so we do have to be prepared. However in anarchist thought/practice this is usually understood as specific of a specific context (power balance). Two examples:
About defending ourselves, popular self-defense is an important notion for anarchists. Basically, it’s the idea that most conflicts can be resolved through non-violent means (deescalation and community accountability) but we should have the power to defend ourselves and our communities violently if the need arises. Both aspects are core principles of popular self-defense.
you can’t compile your code, you’re lucky if it even tells you about spelling mistakes without doing a complete deployment
It’s exactly my experience. YAML is wrong because it’s hard to parse in a secure manner. But ansible YAML is another kind of hell really…
writing my deployment code in a plain, compiled programming language
I’m seriously interested. I’ve considered writing a “rustible” kind of thing in the past to have higher-level declarative actions (apt, service, file…) but never got to it. Do you mind sharing? :)

ah thanks i didn’t know fairphone had an own distro by now… i don’t exactly understand the concept of a hardware manufacturer maintaining a distro but that somehow makes sense
