Would you buy a computer made of wood for the price of a used car? Maybe not. But you should be glad they exist.

Do you mean other instances of kbin, or other fediverse sites?

AI summary:

  • Brave Browser has marketed itself as a privacy-preserving web browser and has gained attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
  • The company behind Brave, founded by Brendan Eich, faced backlash due to Eich's previous donation in support of California's Proposition 8, which aimed to ban same-sex marriage.
  • Brave initially planned to replace ads with its own ad units and split revenue with publishers, but this idea was met with legal issues and criticism from both inside and outside the company.
  • Brave introduced Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) as a way to reward users for viewing ads and content, but the rewards are minimal and the value of BAT is volatile.
  • Brave has incorporated various cryptocurrency-related features, including a full crypto wallet, but many of its crypto partners have faced controversies and scandals.
  • Brave was involved in a privacy scandal in which affiliate codes were added to URLs typed into the address bar, allowing the company to collect revenue from user signups or purchases.
  • The article concludes that Brave is a flawed software project and should not be used, recommending Firefox or Vivaldi as privacy-focused alternatives.

Agreed. Travel if you can when you're young, or just make sure to not have kids or put it off a while so you can get to a more money-making part of your career and can afford it more without being tied down by children.

Curious -- not saying it's great, but I don't think the Zoom UX is much better, personally. What bothers you about Teams, if I might ask?

That's a decent solution, but unfortunately doesn't have handy podcast app features like silence trimming, voice boosting, etc. Great suggestion though!

I'll admit I do. And I won't like, I'll still append "Reddit" to my searches as needed. I'm just not really actively contributing or anything there anymore, which is sad

Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.

Pretty cool, especially considering how it's been shown that WiFi can be used to pretty accurately determine the position and number of people in a room with AI.

Any tips on jumping in? Recommended services, etc

[-] cutitdown@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.

Supposedly he's gonna add kbin support also. I hope he changes the name to be more broad, like Sync for Fediverse. Or Synciverse or something.
