Never knew that, thanks for the correction.

I stand corrected!

Brave products are not open source. Not their search, and not the browser. Your post wording seems to imply that it is.

Well they were dishonest about the product behavior in multiple cases, such as adding referral links to search results. That makes it a bad product.

I don’t think they tried to hide that they were using Google, but rather than they are using Brave, because many people were upset about that. They probably just decided to stop naming specific indexes.

I’m in the US and I only have Standard as an option in my account. Is that the same as Basic or did they get rid of it here already?

Thank goodness. I came here because I didn’t want to be a customer.

The Apple developer terms actually have a specific section for “reader apps” which are primarily meant for consuming media purchased or subscribed to outside of the Apple Store. The in app purchase requirements are relaxed for apps falling in this category. I don’t think a calendar app fits that, though.

What resolution were you playing at?

The revenue split is the same (30%) on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, which seems like the number that should matter to the publisher.

TIL Valve started and maintains Proton…

Wait, so people used to take this guy seriously? I watched a review he did on some sim racing gear a few years back and it was obvious the guy didn’t google even the most basic advice on how to set up a sim rig properly.

I read about their name change and wondered what it was. I had a similar experience. Really bad UX. When you click join it asks you if you want to create a new server or join an existing server. I picked “join existing” but the first button on the page is to “submit your server”.

I clicked the “verified” server which was down (and is still down… who goes down for days for a domain change?)

I clicked another server and hit Explore and it showed me a list of pinned users that supposedly had many posts each, however I clicked on various elements such as the post count trying to view them and couldn’t. At that point I just closed my browser tab.

I assume this thing is some sort of Mastodon-like social network but coming in blind it’s hard to tell.

I’m not sure failing is the right word, it’s just that privacy is not prioritized. They don’t sell your data or sell ads, but they are based in Australia which has very anti-privacy laws regarding govt access to user data that they presumably comply with. They don’t offer built-in message encryption, and they don’t have anonymous signups. I’ve also read a few anecdotes about customer service being able to access your messages or at least certain configuration details about your account that you expect to be private.

All that said, this I’ve been using them for years now. They offer a better user experience than something like Proton without data mining and ads. I’m not sure there’s a best-of-all-worlds option.

Fastmail is fantastic from a user experience perspective, though depending on your privacy demands it may not pass the test.

Do the demos generally become unavailable after the fest is over?
