    Now whilst I enjoy all the comments I actually have to add something quickly that explains why this kind of thing happens. I recently worked with a rather old lady to find out why she was having so many issues with technology and stuff. I found out that when she started work in 1986 she was told that the shared password in her department at the local hospital was “password” and so she has used that on everything she can since to remember it… other gems that they used on whole departments included “qwerty” and “123456” and the best one of all “letmeinnow”. On whole shared networks of 100+ machines…

    Simplewall allows direct control of internet access of any program and app; you can block CoPilot from accessing the internet.

    Let me know when it is discovered that they in fact replaced MS Recall with their own version that was scraping your data in yet another sketchy attempt to make money.

    In this thread something I see a lot on lemmy is happening. Maybe someone can give me a hint on how that happens. The post itself is 90% upvotes, while the comment section is really anti-Brave (for good reasons). Do most upvotes come from people scrolling through without looking at the comment section and those with an opinion on the topic dive into it?

      I upvote the post because I support the feature, and would like to see more browsers implement more privacy focused features.

      I upvote the anti-Brave comments, because fuck Brave.

      The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.

      To me the karma system is about quality. Not an “I agree/disagree” button.

      For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

      I think you should not downvote a post you have a negative opinion about. If the post is worth to discuss then why should I not upvote the post and then say that I disagree in the comments. If we all down vote those posts nobody will see it (apart of those who sort by controversial) and there will be no discussion.

      Most people never bother to read anything beyond the title of the post. Let alone click the link to the article.

      Now, i don’t know how everyone sees up/down votes. But I always thought that content and comments that is relevant and promotes discussion is good. And comments that aren’t are bad.

      Rather than a measure of others opinions.

      It seems to me most people simply upvote the post to reward OP for bringing things up, exposing etc. Comments serve opinions on the topic itself, but upvote/downvote is more for if it’s good according to community rules and if the topic itself is interesting.

        An unrepentant homophobe who accused people who dislike him for his homophobic views/actions as being closed-minded and bigoted for disliking him over it.

      It’s probably the best chromium browser out there

      Firefox has done shit too

      sadly we don’t have a lot of choice, but they’re one of the least worse

        Just don’t use Chromium unless you for some reason absolutely have to. Mozilla is just another corporation, but they’re not exactly threatening to monopolise the internet. Google is, and using Chromium directly aids in their effort to do so.

          It’s not that bad. Sure, having more choice is good, but it’s not as life threatening as you make it seem

          Using android and stock ROMs is a bigger problem

            I think it’s a compounding issue, primarily of Google products just kind of being the “default.”

            Google pays to be the primary search engine in Firefox, on iOS, and sets themselves as the default on their operating systems. They, wherever possible also set their browser as default. Yes, Chromium is open source, but they have the ultimate final say, and no one seems to have the interest in forking it. This puts Google in a similar position that Microsoft was in in the 90s and early 00s, where they can essentially hijack the web and force their ideas through whether others want to or not.

            We saw this with Google forcing Manifest v3, all Chromium-based browsers essentially just had to follow suit. That was just Manifest v3 however, who’s to say what else they’ll do?

            Then there’s my tinfoil hat worry that Google essentially being the window to the web for so many people, on an OS, browser, and discoverability level is just overall a cause for worry. That’s not even considering their communications and media platforms.

              I’m pretty sure if Firefox/Mozilla decides to change their policy on something, most forks of firefox will have no choice but follow the same path

              afaik all firefox forks are really small, just like chromium forks

              Mozilla might not have as much conflicting interests though, I admit it

                Perfect is the enemy of good.

                Gecko is still way more sympathetic than chromium, to me. Even if it is not perfect either.

                Oh yeah, absolutely. There are no good options for a truly libre web, unfortunately. :(
