If it wasn’t for “piracy” (volunteers lovingly preserving and modding their games and consoles and sharing their work for free) most people would’ve left and forgotten about Nintendo years ago. Their products would have been remembered just like those old, abandoned songs you never hear on any streaming service anymore, then sometimes think about and never bother to find because “it’s so X0’s” anyway. Most of these companies owe modders and “pirates” the fact that they’re so happily earning so much in this golden era of remasters and remakes.

Frequently paying any amount of money for anything will always seem like a good deal to anyone who always depends on others to do everything. There’s no shame in needing each other, though. We should strive to be self sufficient but can’t be skilled or resourceful in every field. Abusing the needs of others on the other hand… All these huge companies should burn to the ground for that.

Yeah, LTSC IoT 21H2 should last even longer, but I’d still avoid getting attached to any PC that has it installed.

I’m guessing the double meaning flew right over, hence the incomplete table mentioning Tamara’s site from Oregon, USA. The thing is, I’ll need further research from other countries to consider trusting these findings, even if I’m already used to being overly cautious when purchasing hygiene products.

At the moment if it comes from the US I’m not buying it. 😏

Gotta go fastened!

That is the usual effect sensationalism has, but feel free to choose what best suits your needs.

I do enjoy Cromite, Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, Tor Browser and some others, but I can’t deny each (as any) has it’s own set of drawbacks. Better to have them in mind when setting up and using those browsers than to panic and run in circles searching for a perfect solution that doesn’t exist.

Even more importantly I’d celebrate that people are using any privacy focused FOSS, even if it’s not what I’d ideally use. If they feel motivated to keep on that road they’ll end learning to use more advanced options in time. On the other hand, make them feel insecure about their options and bloat their minds with sensationalist posts and they’ll just use Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge because, “personally”, why bother when everyone and everything is so evil and complicated and we’re all doomed anyway? 😮‍💨

Why I recommend against pushing people away from Brave:

Most people are still trapped in an ecosystem owned by either Microsoft, Google or Apple. We’re yet to see a perfect web browser for everyone, but in the meantime we choose one, maybe two or three if we feel a bit more picky for each task, and use them to the best of our capacity. Making anyone feel guilty and ashamed for choices like this, when the best options are few, relative, and often come at a cost, is just useless.

I suggest reading the settings guides available at privacyguides.org/en/desktop-browsers/ or checking the browser comparison at eylenburg.github.io/browser_comparison.htm to know the details that anyone who actually wants a better browsing experience cares about. Better to lend a hand than push around.

If whoever reads this still can’t get over it and needs to play a blame game with someone about why everyone should boycott Mozilla, Brave, Proton and other privacy focused FOSS companies because of what someone said, did or thought, please at least find a decent fork, toss a coin to it’s devs, share their work and help others benefit from it.

Therefore Putin funds brainwashing to make straight Russian super-feeders.
