I’m in a similar boat, and am working on managing my dopamine set point. It’s tough, but it def helps, I recommend looking into that!

Edit: simile -> similar

Who you calling a NIMBY? Did you even read the article you posted?

Salonen supports last month's announcement to build 10,000 affordable and attainable homes in the region by 2030.

She’s quite literally the opposite of a NIMBY.

Yeah, seems like the poster didn’t read the actual article, either

Yeah, honestly that’s the primary, convincing argument against Brave, I feel: they’re helping Google monopolize the browser market, and, consequently, enabling Google to further dictate how the internet operates.

The article skipped over that entirely, and the author had never heard of LibreWolf, the current zeitgeist in privacy-focused browsers, so I question the motives for writing the article and question that the author has the technical chops to be able to speak to this issue with authority. Seems like he mainly doesn’t like that the founder of Brave donated $1000 to Prop 8, which, while fair, is hardly the main reason to not use Brave.

The really really concerning thing he actually mentioned was that Brave was at one point adding affiliate links to URLs without the users’ permission, but that was buried lower in the article under comments on Eich’s admittedly cringe politics and weirdly angry blurbs about Brave’s crypto token, which he never mentions requires a voluntary opt-in (probably because he didn’t know).

He’s not wrong, but he’s right for the wrong reasons.

when asked whether they agreed with the statement that members of the opposing party are “not just worse for politics—they are downright evil,” 42 percent of both Republicans and Democrats responded “yes.”

Yikes, that’s a terrifying mentality for 42 percent of people to have, that’s downright ruinous to any attempts to salvage the democratic system.

So, after reading the article, is there any reason to care beyond 8Gb ram and 128Gb flash storage being unable to (unofficially) run Steam?

Weird clickbait feels.

Fair point, and made me laugh

Yeah, there’s a few accounts that just spam-post high-school atheist memes here like “Ha! Take that, religion!”

Meh, if that were the reason Google Maps would also be unavailable

In this case I’m pretty sure it’s a play on “coomer,” given the masturbatory nature of the referenced mentality
