    As odd as this sounds, and as odd as the world gets, I still find a small comfort in the fact that there is enough stability in this world that I can count on one thing: someone al…

    Exactly! How dare you have access to their stolen content in the midst of them doing the same.

    As someone who holds a degree in Medicine besides his degree in Computer Science and works in medical devices, can I just please emphasise that QA should exist in this industry and…

    I live and work in the DMV. I get it. Doesn't change my point.

    As an American taxpayer who has a twenty-five year decade long career in IT this concerns me. Doesn't surprise me in the least but concerns me. Yet you see this waste and take to H…

    With Trump at the helm, yes. However; with that being said, the rot and decay has been festering long before Trump came into power. The issue is that most average Americans don't k…

    Yep. Everything about his body language screams, "I'm doing something slimy and I know it, but here, listen to these words spoken authoritatively whilst I wave my hands around and …

    MacOS has its warts and 'unpolish' as well, as it also gets viruses despite what Apple may want you to believe.

    I get that and it makes sense. What distinguishing features does it have that keeps you coming back to Brave that, say, Edge or Chrome or even Firefox doesn't bring? I ask because …

    I need someone to explain to me, at length, at some point in my life the value proposition of Brave and what it brings to the table that other browsers do not. For example, most of…

    Funny. In my five+ decades on this planet, I seem to find the right more apt and eager to employ 'thuggish authoritarian attempts' -- akin to my time growing up in East Germany. Bu…

    100% this. I'd love to have some of these features in eyewear, but there is no way in hell I purchase anything like this from Meta. Less those bastards get of anything I control (d…

    Which is, of course, flat out unacceptable on many levels. However; it seems to me some of these institutions could band together and pool resources both legal, financial, and othe…

    Wow. Illumos / Solaris is still kicking, eh? Really too bad Solaris didn’t stick around and was so horribly mismanaged by Sun. Solaris and Vax/VMS is where I started my career deca…

    Preach. This has got to be the most user-blind self-imposed preference in a modern operating system outside of Microsoft's BS. If you're going to use an OSS operating system, the c…
