Yeah…that happens, but from my experience it works a lot of times

Try turning off JavaScript when ur faced with an overlaying paywall

Might I add brave’s BAT wallet is garbage. You had to sign up to some random exchange and upload your ID (I didn’t), but even that you couldn’t even backup your wallet into a new install, so hope that you would never have to format or reinstall or change devices - it’ll be a pain to restore, if it was even possible.

Firefox over brave any day.

ya. I was confused at first because i went to try it out but no f-droid or any other way of getting it?

honestly i don’t know what you did to mess up a windows install like that, but i agree overall that linux is easier. However there are quirks that can arise for a new user that will eat time or seem daunting.

for work purposes, ok fine. but personal purposes i’d try and steer clear as much as i can.

My general point is we should use alternatives whenever possible to discourage this kind of centralized power developing in the first place.

it will truly be messed up if essential websites block user access because of this

For sure, I agree and it’s bad. But frankly unsurprising. This is the trajectory of the internet: greater control.

We’ve become too dependent on centralized tech companies and erred in allowing tech companies to change, define, and control the internet in the first place.

Alternatives must be promoted in mass scale.

hey everyone a friendly reminder that alternatives exist, and just drop this shit fast and move to better alternatives. In this case firefox.

i just searched and it looks like there’s already one on an instance

I’m pretty much new to lemmy so i don’t even know how communities are made

surreal memes

I agree, affinity programs are really good and i’d rather see those on linux

welcome. you’ll love it

That’s a more detailed explanation thanks. The OP explanation was helpful for someone who hasn’t really looked into how it functions.

Is there some sort of judiciary at the EU level or is the robustness of laws tested in national contexts?

that’s how it goes. we’re in this transformation but most people don’t notice it because they experience the world and things seem to be ok (for now, or they are distracted by some other insignificant thing), and this is not even mentioning the economic and political obstacles that block any meaningful change.

I think the likely scenario is people won’t seriously start to be concerned (and by serious i mean taking proactive steps across their individual and social lives) until this situation further develops and it will be a bit too late. I hope i’m wrong.

all their wealth is basically dependent and built on the labour of all society, they’re not escaping this. They’ll have more privilege to suffer less relatively to the majority of the people on this planet, but they’re not escaping this

thank you for that brief explanation, didn’t really know the difference between the two branches(is that what they call em?)

unexpected heroes what a plot twist

That is absolutely disgusting. How can i take a news organization seriously if they think this is suitable form of consuming their news?
