You can soak it in industrial strength bleach, but that red tint is never coming out

If you look at what a raging tool the CEO is and the implications of the browser’s association with crypto (no matter how optional), I think that Brave just attracts that type of person

Have you ever interacted with a Brave user? No, they can’t.

Ok whatever lmfao

Oh sweet, I have that and I never noticed that was a feature.

Anyone who’s media literate enough to care about such things do not rely on Google’s algorithm nor monetized YouTube channels / “content creators” to keep informed.

Monero is crypto, and this is an ad

What’s the extension called?

I think this is a good thing. While I understand that mainstream news sources tend to be pro-capitalist/pro-state, it’s still a step up from the unhinged fascist and nationalist conspiracy theories that run rampant on that site.

Yeah that’s fair. My emotions are super raw today, and it’s time to logoff and get some fresh air.

Just don’t eat avocado toast and cut down on your Starbucks so you can buy an expensive one

Or just ask your rich daddy for money, how hard can it be

“Sorry, but you’re poor, so you just have to accept seeing ads.”

Damn, capitalism rots the brain

Sorry, but I’m getting a lot of insufferable techbeards lecturing me in a joke forum, and I’m about to nuke the whole post. I just thought some people might find it funny and be able to relate, but there are a lot of people who want to defend big greedy companies for some reason.

Oh, spare me this lecture again! Being techie doesn’t save you from having to go through a cringe firmware update or lack of service through the “smart” OS because their invasive ad service is offline or whatever.

And I’m not saying there aren’t alternative ways to view content – I’m pointing out how fucking dumb the whole setup is. I’m referring to the unit itself, as an average user experiences it.

If I were interested in solutions, I’d be posting in a tech forum, not a joke community where I’m trying to use humor to cops with a frustrating experience, so go rain on someone else’s parade.

Also, you don’t know what “objectively” means. There’s no such thing from a user perspective. It depends entirely on personal preference, and I’ve made clear what my preference is.

Let me be a grumpy old man in peace. I don’t need fixing.

Idk thankfully beehaw disables downvotes, so I never have to see that side of things

As I said to someone else, I’m well aware, and I have a linux PC connected to our main TV where I can pirate anything, but I refuse to invest any time or money into the cheap TV I bought for our gaming room. I’m not going to buy yet more HDMI cables and a wireless keyboard and such just because the TV won’t function as advertised.

I have however switched to using our PS4 as the main streaming device, which updates much less frequently and usually works. I just like to point out how stupid smart things are.

Tbh I have a setup on our upstairs TV with a linux PC and one of those $10 rechargable wireless keyboards to stream anything, but I refuse to invest any time or money into the cheap TV I bought myself to use in the gaming room while my husband sleeps during the day. If it doesn’t start instantly, then I’m out – which means it’s basiclaly useless

And I lived in South Dakota, so “barely coming in” was usually all we had

This is stressing me out :P

Unfortunately streaming has become the norm, and cable’s no longer affordable

I’d rather go outside if that’s how it’s gonna be
