serious question: how does opera (the company) make money?

tbf it seems to be a common issue with search engines atm. brave also has the stupid ai response topmost, and startpage without adblock pushes in so many sponsored results that you need to scroll to get to anything else

this whole thing is a shitshow. but the dresscode is just bullshit. why shouldn't male read people be allowed to wear hairstyles longer than to the neck?

if it is of any help, i have been using a OP6 running /e/os for over a year now, as a daily driver. central europe, have not ran into any issues banking wise, other than one 2fa app complaining every time it is launched (but still functioning fine) edit: sadly the battery life is now starting to decay quickly, and i also had an accident that left both front and back glass shattered, so i may soon upgrade.

does this actually help the internet archive in any way? as in are your local ressources used or ad revenue generated? i fail to see how telling them to archive everything you visit is of any help to them. other than you being basically a crawler, i guess

they sunsetted the sms functionality in their app "to focus on the signal protocol and make it less confusing for people" if i remember correctly. not a big deal to me, the few sms i send i can use a different app for

can you maybe link some ressources on how the protocol used can be detected? i did not know about this and would like to read into it some more :)

probably the latter. i am testing liftoff for lemmy at the moment and could not find the crosspost function, so i just copied the post link. my bad!

i trust proton quite a lot, but the open source part seems to be only partially true. on their github, i can only find client side code (ie. browser extensions, mobile apps), not the server code, which bitwarden does publish

no, you are right. there is a lot of talk about the brave browser in this thread, a chromium based ad blocking browser by the brave company that gives you their own crypto in return for unobtrusive ads on the start page, which can then be used to donate to content creators on the internet (i think) or be cashed in. you and the op are talking about brave search, a search engine created by the same company

aww, the "Who? Me?" somehow really got me! thanks for your service!
