Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful

Can you tolerate handling raw meat? Butchers are usually happy to give you scraps (or sell for very cheap) that you could make your own stock with. Can tune the flavour to your liking with whatever herbs and vegetables you want.

I pissed off a power mod and got banned from a handful of subreddits and accidentally posted on one of them with an alt. Both accounts permabanned for ban evasion - even though one of those subreddits was one I only ever posted on with one account. Alts get nuked as soon as I make a single post anywhere, too.

Could get around it with a new email and IP but meh

See the reason Lemmy is better than Reddit is because you don't have 37 people jumping down your throat right now because they didn't understand the sarcasm

This is a pretty dumb take. That's out of reach for essentially everyone.

But if they cared about Palestinians they'd stop attacking progressives that already support them and protest the people and institutions that do not. Helping elect Trump, sending threats to hospitals and synagogues, and attacking pride events won't stop the genocide

That cohort had Biden's age and competency as their top reasons for not voting for him, not Gaza.

Russia was communist once and China pretends to still be that means I'm a bad leftist if I don't send death threats to people who support Ukraine and Taiwan.

Actual thought process some people have listed above

Brave randomizes the output of fingerprinting techniques like canvas rendering, system fonts, installed devices, etc in a way that makes you look like a real, consistent user providing real data that still allows the site to work, while still changing the output from one session to the next enough that sites can't tell you're the same person.

Firefox claims to block all this but if you check their site they explain how it actually works:

Firefox protects users against fingerprinting by blocking all third-party requests to companies that are known to participate in fingerprinting

We’ve partnered with Disconnect to provide this protection. Disconnect maintains a list of companies that participate in cross-site tracking, as well a list as those that fingerprint users.

This does nothing to actually disguise you. It's the equivalent of putting a paper bag over your head when you think there's a security camera. You stand out because of the bag and you don't know where all the cameras are so you're still being tracked when you don't know it.

I hate the idea of Brave because Chromium's dominance will ruin the web but Firefox does not protect us.

Off the back of that, and Yoshida’s satisfaction upon seeing that people are enjoying Dawntrail’s more ‘engaging’ combat content, he teases, “Moving forward in the raid series, there are going to be some moments which are just going to be absolutely out of this world. So do look forward to it.”

Really happy that they plan to just keep escalating. This was probably the best first tier in a long time.

Replacing the live service game with a one-time paid game with no microtransactions is the perfect way to sunset a title like this. Good job Nintendo.

I would be more okay with this if Firefox did more to block the tracking techniques that advertisers are currently using. They block third party cookies and compartmentalize social media cookies which is fine but they do almost nothing to stop the more insidious tracking techniques like device fingerprinting.

Mozilla really wants to push me to Brave

How does this work now that the API is dead?
