You haven't heard about it because it is a lie. Brave has a tipping service that lets users tip creators with Brave's crypto coin, BAT. When they launched the tipping service, they…

Chromium has better security than Firefox, especially on mobile, where Firefox's site isolation is either nonexistent or rudimentary.

Mozilla wants to do quite a lot more than just make a browser - for years, under Mitchell Baker, they weren't really primarily browser makers even. After she's left, Firefox has ga…

Brave's an easy slot-in - fiddle with settings or buy Brave Origin, and you get what's basically Chrome, except it has a built-in ad blocker that can do stuff extension-based ad bl…

Brave has an end to end encrypted sync service as well.

Both. Brave is FOSS.

Chat control was shot down, and will be proposed again. And again. And again. Until the people/governments vote correctly, and then dismantling it won't be up for a constant vote.

Cyan isn't between green and blue, at least not completely. If you take green and blue, you won't be able to represent a good chunk of cyan hues. It feels greenish and blueish, but…

The funny part about color spaces being that you can't make (pure) cyan out of green and blue, which is exactly why CMYK is used over RYB in inks. (I mostly think about colours in …

The fucked up thing is Windows is the most stable Linux environment to build against. Linux overall relies far too much on the idea that the software is either actively maintained,…

A lot of Apple's services revenue is Apple Store mobile games, AIUI.

Chromium is still markedly ahead of Firefox on security, especially on mobile.

Yes. They are weaker, but Manifest v3 has been tweaked a good bit since the very initial announcements, and people have figured out ways to compress old-format blocklists into Mani…

They're not rebranding Office, the app suite. They had Office.com, a hub website, and a desktop app called Office that was basically just a wrapper for said hub website. They also …

It's also weird because Microsoft has some excuse for wasting screen real estate - Windows is used on touchscreen devices and has to at least adapt to them. But Apple stubbornly re…

One thing I dislike is that Synaptic style proper package managers are being phased out in favour of app stores.

That's uncharitable: Stability matters, and Linux just doesn't give a fuck about breaking the environment since software is of course FOSS and can just be recompiled from sauce, ri…

I've tried their Arc Search mobile browser, and the UX is just absolute trash unless you're specifically using it via search only workflows. It's not really a browser in the normal…

皮 kawa 彼 kare 波 nami

> And how did Vietnam and Korea manage to understand their historical texts after they stopped using Chinese characters? And how do they create new words nowadays? I guess they jus…

Korean faces the exact same problems as Japanese, though - the language structure is similar, they have a ton of Chinese loans, and have in general gone through a largely identical…

皮 彼 波

It's not pedantic in that the characters themselves really are sound-based and provide a pretty decent clue. That said, it's still just a clue, and there are multiple similar pronu…

Okay. The point is, the typewriter writes 핸-style ㅎ always. Even if it could be a bit taller, but tends to leave the vowel lines bigger.

Japan has had pro-romanization societies since the 1920's, and even during the last attempt at large-scale script reform after the war, it wasn't just the Americans pushing it: Man…
