  • The newspapers said in the complaints, opens new tab ​that Brave illegally sells their content to AI companies including ​Anthropic, Perplexity and xAI — which are not defendants in the ⁠cases — in addition to infringing their copyrights by allowing users to ​access their articles for free

    The outlets’ lawsuits ​filed on ⁠Monday said that Brave “acts both like a burglar that misappropriates the content of publishers, and an AI ‘fence’ that ​sells stolen content to third parties”

    If you’re not already connected to local organizing efforts where you are, start looking for ways to change that. Look up if there are any mutual aid hubs around you, go to protests and ask around, try to get involved with food not bombs and see if you can get linked in with more efforts, figure out whos organizing ice watch in your area and do their training

    Any efforts to protect our futures and our neighbors will happen through local organizing where YOU are. If you want a democracy, this chapter of history seems to demand that we work for it; start getting connected.







  • Man if I ever get a smartwatch again this is where I’m headed. I love my little Casio’s though.

    I hope they make a one or two more options aesthetically. I think their current design is a good design, but really not my personal taste. I’d love to see another option or two as time goes on if its financially feasible for them!


  • Its not astroturfing, it’s that people have expectations of them beyond just being a browser that let’s you access the web.

    Frankly its not that great of a browser (its serviceable. And I use it, or a derivative, pretty much exclusively); generally the reason you use it is because you care about abstract things like not supporting the chromium monopoly, or wanting to pick the project managed with the most care for how it will impact actual humans

    And Mozilla has been making kinda crummy choices with respects to those abstract values more and more regularly it feels like 😅

    Like I really wanna love and support Mozilla. I’m using their browser cause I think its the best choice by the metrics that are important to me. And more and more I just feel kinda exhausted and kinda frustrated with them 😅
