Always amazes me when people who are in the queer community, or consider themselves an ally run Brave browser.

Brave is run by Brendan Eich, former CEO of Mozilla.

Never forget, he opposed gay marriage, and donated to Prop 8 to limit marriage to heterosexuals in California. He held this belief firmly and after much outrage he resigned and then went on to form Brave.

Surely, the browser is named "Brave" because he believes he was "brave" for standing up for bigotry.

Remember kids:

IRC is free.
IRC is a open standard.
You can run your own IRC server.
IRC doesn't collect data on you and sell it.
You can still moderate your channels via invite, voice, and ban modes.
You can run a server on a 486.
IRC doesn't try to up sell you on "nitro".
IRC doesn't need to make money to make some VC happy.

@miah@hachyderm.io but irc doesn't have paid emoji reactions either ​:akkoconfused:​

monal-im.org :xmpp:

@miah the same holds for #xmpp. Plus 1:1 chats and voice/video calls :)

Iron Bug
I would also add:
IRC does not trash its protocol with new shiny useless features every week. and you don't need to install new versions at light speed. it's consistent and it just works.

First they hired a cop, now they're embedding AI. I'm calling it now(again), Raspberry Pi is dead. Pick a new platform folks.

@miah @BetoOnSecurity to be fair, the ability to do my own modest ML on edge devices is legitimately interesting!

But selling that as β€œships with AI!” Is gross.

@miah Having an official hat for AI work, I'm fine with that. There are certainly common pi projects where it would be useful.

But yeah, it really doesn't need to be built in. I always thought the Pi was meant to be minimalist, with GPIO to give it great flexibility with connecting other shit for specific applications.

@miah I've been building on single-board fanless x86_64 since the covert surveillance cop thing. Cheaper, more available, more performant, lower power, runs the same Debian I already run elsewhere. I've been burned by Arm boards needing custom kernels and quickly going out of support so nobody's porting the special code for the custom kernels any more..

I miss Ops work being generalized knowledge of UNIX and not specialized knowledge of some startup products that won't exist in 10 years.

@miah the startups are just UNIX Knowledge As A Service

@miah this is a really good point. I'd love containers and container orchestration to be a cmdline tool that just comes w certain OSes ... or other sorts of things that will be useful for ops people
