No, trust me, it is. The money dicks do not trust the autismos so the first thing they do is start pushing you to hire MBAs to run your own company and then you're publishing a code o' conduct and closing the source and hiring 30 useless cogs to write shit that 2 good hackers could write but now you're a feature factory pimping KPIs and you have to have an HR department because there are 30 dipshit engineers and 60 sales guys and a community manger because if you don't hockeystick there will never be an exit event for the shareholders.In conversation permalink -

No, their game is to grind 100 businesses into the ground so that one of them turns into a $1b exit. Any VD fund that doesn't follow that business model does not have a million dollars to give you. Glass-Steagall.In conversation permalink -

well, theres no longer
-private tabs
-session tabs
-ipfs
-torrents
-BAT is now KYC
-BAT tipping is now KYC
-optional ads are now KYC
-tor support is half baked and worse than the old browser or just using vanilla failfox through tor
-tab previews are gone
-tab/site themeing is gone in favor of chromiums limited built in capabilities
-brave no longer blocks or reports when javascript attempts device recognition
-site settings were stripped
i KNOW there were more things, but its been almost a decade so my memory is fuzzy all the shit they did at the end of 2018. i dont use brave anymore but i can guarantee you that almost if not everything i said is still true because they are just pure shillware whom no longer need to do anything beneficial to rake in the dough.In conversation permalink pistolero likes this. -

So it's better to just create a viable business and run it unless you want to spend 80 hours a week on KPIs. In conversation permalink -

@ins0mniak @RedTechEngineer @Azur_Fenix @Hoss @MK2boogaloo @bajax @bronze @hakui @parker IPFS is a great *idea* with the worst, goddamn buggiest possible execution. Revolver already does a better job. I haven't touched the IPFS storage backend because when I enable it, Revolver slows down by a factor of 100. Most of the comments in the IPFS code are angry. I don't even know if it still works because I haven't used it in years because they broke the config file and stopped me from being able to serve static files, so I now just use Revolver to serve the shit that I used to serve over IPFS.
func (i *IPFS) GetBlock(k string) (*http.Response, error) {
// I know they claim that the argument is called "key" but
// it's "arg". Just "arg". If you send it "key" then it will
// complain.

@ins0mniak @Azur_Fenix @Hoss @MK2boogaloo @RedTechEngineer @bajax @bronze @hakui @parker This is what always happens, every single time. Github worked fine and then they took the VD funding and then mojombo was kicked out of his own company after a Twitter mob rallied by some :nodongles: chick. They are now engagement-metricsing even the worst shit you can think of:
https://archive.is/v4dPa
> Mr. [Nick] Turley wasn’t like OpenAI’s old guard of A.I. wonks. He was a product guy who had done stints at Dropbox and Instacart. His expertise was making technology that people wanted to use, and improving it on the fly. To do that, OpenAI needed metrics.
If you take the money, you have to suck the dick. Zero exceptions. They do not trust nerds with a million dollars, they sure as fuck don't trust nerds with a billion dollars. Same reason the Marvel movies are all disgusting capeshit: the budgets are a billion dollars and this means a committee runs it because the money dicks don't trust a director with a billion dollars, either.In conversation permalink Attachments
