Oh, forgot to read why they're leaving. Assumed it was a data privacy thing because Europe, but the UK isn't like that I guess. :(

We should all take up writing backwards like Da Vinci. Benefits include:
- not smudging everything we write
- not getting as many cramps in our hands
- making our writing much harder for righties to read.
I remember in Kindergarten when my teacher tried to force me to write with my non-dominant hand.
If only it didn't take banning encryption to get rid of them.
Perhaps today is a good day to die!

It's kinda tragic too. I do agree with the sentiment behind age verification, it is in the kids' best interest that they not be using porn at that age. But there's really no way to effectively enforce this without violating basic rights. There is no good solution. Given that dilemma, all we can do is try to better prepare parents to deal with this in their home.

Building a browser is hard, and it's even harder when one of the maker of the most popular browser also operates several of the most popular websites. So most other browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, and many more) are Chromium under the hood. This means that they often implement Google's preferred web functionality as opposed to the actual standard. If Google wants some feature going into the browser, most Chromium derivatives will follow their lead. Even though Brave has rejected many of Google's moves, I'd argue it still isn't enough since they still give Google some control over web standards.
The Internet needs to be impartial and fair in its design, this means it shouldn't be influenced by any one interest in particular. Google's indirect influence over nearly the whole browser market goes against the principle of an open web. The only way to fight effectively this is to use an independent browser, like Firefox.
This is your hourly reminder that Brave is still Chromium and still contributes to Google's influence over internet standards.
I don't think the makers of this product understand that condoms are not actually required for sex.
