To the folks who posted useless comments instead of actually helping: Thanks for nothing.

I don’t know what you expected. There’s no need to be rude. Installing a Flatpak for example is a very valid answer and would definitely solve the problem.

And initially you didn’t even say how did you install brave, which is quite relevant in order to find a solution.

Edit: You put the error in a screenshot which leaves it rather useless for searching the error in the web. In general, I’d say that you have very little error solving skills and instead of thanking for “nothing” you should be thankful that people even bothered to answer.

yes, but you missed an essential step of the process: apt handles dependencies for you. maybe not in this case, but installing .debs directly requires installing dependencies manually and it’s not uncommon for people to forget about this and then saying that the program does not work.

installing from an apt repo is always better as long as the repo is trusted (and it should be if you’re installing .debs from it anyway) because it handles dependencies and updates automatically. If you just install the .deb, you’ll have to repeat the process per each update.

Brave is known to take privacy (and security) more seriously than its contenders. It’s therefore unsurprising to find it recommended by Privacy Guides.

At least in the privacy community, Brave isn’t super popular. It feels more geared towards the “hyped crypto early adopters”. Brave inclusion in privacy guides has always been controversial.

Brave is ultimately an advertising company, they base their business model in ads. And everyone knows how bad that can turn.

Ungoogled Chromium on the other hand takes patches from brave and other Chromium based browsers, removing every bit of telemetry and giving you the cleanest experience you can get on Chromium, without relying on a shady company.

I don’t know who Rossmann is, I’m talking about the video format, which is the worst way of consuming content. It’s super slow, you can’t possibly skip just by reading some headings around, and it’s just far more inefficient than plain text. You can’t possibly archive it without wasting megabytes of storage either.

there has been a ton of articles posted about this, no need to waste everyone’s time with a video

sure, a company that has used petabytes of data they do not own any rights of to train their models are totally excluding their own customers data when turning a switch off.

yeah, I totally trust OpenAI and Microsoft with my data. It’s not like Microsoft is spying on me after turning of Windows telemetry either.

DE independent but it requires GTK4 and libadwaita. Maybe just call it a GTK GUI for Bluetooth?

it has to be enabled like a system service, so this is clearly a daemon.

is there a curl argument that can be used to block this behavior?

it’s trivial to mass convert mobi to a widely supported format. I think this is a welcomed change, because Amazon was the only one on the industry still promoting a legacy format like mobi, even if they tried to start moving on with their newer formats.

I was going to say the same

XMPP is a must. I automatically discard tildes that host matrix but not XMPP.

no need for that! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I’m pretty sure they won’t care about this license.

I think that in this case it’s just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.

barrel jacks are less likely to break, I’ve had laptops with barrel jack charging ports that are still working for 15 years but I’ve had two malfunctioning USB-C ports in phones that were less than 4 years old.

how can someone be pro systemd lol. it’s been one of the cancers’ of the Linux desktop for years

Still no CoreBoot support, so it’s a hard pass for me. I wish they worked on it, they promised it back in 2020.

Can we ban posts promoting the use of proprietary software?

use a real operative system then

how is this related to technology exactly? sadly, people of all kinds of professions are killed everyday. This belongs to a general news community, not to technology.

And to be clear, I’m just saying that this is the wrong community, not that I have anything against that poor person (even if the word CEO causes me repulsion at sight)
