Why not just not allow it to connect to any internet and use wired printing?

I don’t use the brave search engine (I’ve always been using ecosia) and just use it as a pure browser, would that be fine?

So what if I don’t log in when I use brave? Then it would have no way to get money from me.

I know that. In the title I said that I’m comparing brave to Firefox with ublock

I don’t want to use the crypto, if I just turn it off and use brave as an improved chrome, then which one is better?

uBlock (arguably the best extension) properly only works on Firefox

Isn't brave's adblocker just ublock?

I'm choosing a main browser, and I think that firefox with ublock and brave are probably equally good in terms of privacy and security, both of them look quite nice, and both are FOSS. The final thing that I'm considering is resource consumption. This reddit post shows that firefox is better than brave in benchmarks and ram consumption, but what about when firefox has ublock running and brave has all their preinstalled "extension" like brave rewards and wallet disabled (except brave shields is left enabled)?

J perm is essentially just [R U R' F': T perm] ([A: B] means A B A'), so you can still derive T perm from J perm and a lot of other PLLs from T perm. And I think J perm can make predicting edges easier since the 2 edges that will be swapped are the 2 that you already see. I don't use 2-look PLL but I use 2-look CMLL and I can easily predict EO (and EOLR if it's a good case) after doing J perm.

This article is about the brave search engine collecting data, so would it be fine if I use brave browser but use other search engines like DuckDuckGo or Ecosia?

How is brave compared to firefox in terms of privacy? If they are at least equal brave should be better because chromium-based browsers should have better compatibility on most websites.

I would prefer j perm (R U R’ F’ R U R’ U’ R’ F R2 U’ R’ (U’)) for adjacent corner swap as it’s 1 move shorter and is faster for me

It didn't say that it will be deleting older information, it just says that there's not enough space on the disk.

 

I want to backup my Mac onto my ssd drive so that I can safely upgrade to Mac OS sonoma beta, but time machine gives the error message that the disk doesn't have enough free space. I always thought that time machine automatically deletes older backups when it runs out of space, but it appears that it doesn't. I searched for tutorials on how to delete backups but none of them seem to work for the time machine interface on Mac OS ventura (most of them involve clicking a gear on the finder window in time machine but on my mac there's no gear icon). Any ideas how should I do that?

I play 2... d6 then usually take on f4 next move to transpose into Fischer defense. I think this move order is better because it tempts some 3. Bc4 players to play Nf3 attacking your pawn, when you can transpose. If you don't want to learn theory then just play the KGD with 2... Bc4 and 3... d6. In both lines white can't play 3. fxe5 due to 3... Qh4+.
