Do you think the first time Voltron formed, it was just a bunch of robot lions standing on each other’s shoulders so they could sneak into a giant R rated movie?
Did they wear a giant robotic trenchcoat?
The answer to these questions may shock you!
Because apparently it is “No.”

Yeah - but commit messages are the thing that basically breaks all the flow of git. All the things that makes git *good* and ruined by the existence of commit messages
I mean, that's also pretty easy to fix:
#!/bin/sh
# git-mcommit - commit with a default message
exec git commit -m "$(git diff --cached --stat)" "$*"
#!/bin/sh
# git-mcommit - commit with a default message
exec git commit -m "$(git diff --cached --stat)" "$*"
Yeah, but the problem is that people build workflows around commit messages. So you get a git log containing "Just committing this for the evening" and "FUck, I think this was right? Lemme send it to you" but then people want to take those events and process them. We need to have *merge* messages

You can kinda do moods on Facebook but nobody does and it's dumb. Nobody does icons.
Yeah - a lot of "mood" isn't just a mood post (hell, everyone does something like Mood now), it's more about posting with specific style, and I dunno

The only reason Brave and any of its products exist is as a shady cash grab after CEO Brendan Eich got fired from an executive position at the Mozilla Corporation for repeated instances of sexual harassment and coming out as a massive homophone who was donating large amounts of money to lobby for gay marriage to be illegalized

They operate and monetize in all the same ways as Google: They are spying on you
They do cryptocurrency BS on top of that

i think they deserve special condemnation for the specific form their spying + crypto shit took: the Basic Attention Token, a concept that would create profoundly harmful incentives and externalities for the web if it ever gained traction outside its originating project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#Basic_Attention_Token
ok since my first reply has been boosted, i want to be clear that i haven't investigated any of their privacy claims deeply, so i dunno what would and wouldn't constitute "spying". but i find the overall scheme to be so distasteful and fundamentally wrongheaded that i don't really want to engage with any brave defenders on it.
@jplebreton
I never before looked into what brave actually did because crypto was enough to turn me off - their big idea is to have your browser inject even more ads into the Web?! And yes they openly admit to tracking your activity to sell targeted ads, but it's "private" because the machine learning happens on your computer (which means you're paying the electricity for it, too). Oh and Peter Thiel is involved because of course he is

You genuinely are better off sticking to Edge and Bing if you are on Windows because Microsoft is already spying on you on Windows and using their products actually reduces the number of companies that are accessing your data
Edge literally does the same thing as Brave: It takes out Google trackers and replaces it with their own
Just add uBlock Origin
