Stupid people are profitable

I cannot tolerate Hannah Montana Linux slander

Brave is trying to create an ecosystem where you use the browser to access their many “free” services. Once they run out of venture capital money and they’ve got people hooked, it’s a slippery slope. Just my two cents though. I never loved Brave’s corporate personality to begin with.

I re-downloaded Brave the other day, and I was disappointed to recall how bloated it feels. The attention tokens, crypto wallet, in-house search engine, trialware VPN, etc.—it’s for someone, but not me…

Ironically that looks kind of badass

Thanks for the reply. What framework would you recommend for C/C++, preferably cross-platform?

I really like this idea, but I don’t think it should be opt-in. Generative AI tools have such a high potential for misuse that some form of provenance should be baked into the network architecture

Do you have much experience with deployment? I’ve got a small hobby project with a GUI written in Qt, and I’ve been having a hard time writing reproducible build scripts for cross-platform deployment.

On macOS, I can distribute the executable with homebrew and add Qt as a dependency. On Linux, I could theoretically build an AppImage, but I would prefer to have the build process handled by GitHub Actions, which doesn’t have sufficient resources to statically build Qt. On Windows, I’m at a total loss…

My project is tiny, but it does have a niche market, and I’d love to make it available to as many people as possible. Qt is killing me!!!

Sorry, I know that doesn’t have anything to do with the design side of things. I’m just throwing darts, cause I’ve had a hard time on my own with this.

VMWare offers free personal licenses, and it’s one of the best VM solutions imo

I do wish APT supported installing certain packages locally. Other than that, I’m more likely to use it than Snap/Flatpak/etc

This is a somewhat terrifying concept to grapple with. I think letting Meta federate would be letting vomit soak into the carpet
