can’t we make them publicly account for their decision to choose an anti LGBTQ+ browser?

ReakDuck@lemmy.ml on 16 May 14:37 next collapse

Rather more of a crpyto bro shit browser with lack of privacy implementations and bad history. No different than Apple saying they love Privacy

jimmy90@lemmy.world on 17 May 06:21 collapse

they disabled that by configuration and they still thought it was the best browser, odd

Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works on 16 May 16:23 collapse

Elaborate?

jimmy90@lemmy.world on 17 May 06:23 collapse

you have to look a long way back in time to find out, oddly enough as if you had a vendetta against a certain person

Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works on 18 May 04:48 collapse

Why are you talking in riddles

jimmy90@lemmy.world on 18 May 08:47 collapse

do you like Brave browser?

Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works on 18 May 16:14 collapse

Never used it, but given my aversion to crypto, no.

Vitaly@feddit.uk on 14 May 19:00 next collapse

Don’t know about brave, but rolling release is much better

trevor@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 14 May 19:10 next collapse

Gross.

finalaccountforreal@lemm.ee on 14 May 19:18 next collapse

First I hear about them, and since Brave is the default browser I know I don’t want to know more. Smooth!

vikingtons@lemmy.world on 14 May 19:53 next collapse

well, at least they provided some rationale for switching browsers. still, it’s good thing we have bazzite.

woelkchen@lemmy.world on 14 May 20:41 next collapse

At least they disable the monetization features of Brave but making stupid Google Meet such a hard requirement to compromise of all ethics? WTF?

Does the rolling release model mean Nobara is based on Fedora Rawhide now?

Edit: I found the answer from the developer on Reddit.

the VERSION updates are rolling. (N41->N42->N43+)

nothing is changing in the update process. we still do a monthly snapshot of fedora and provide that to users. we are -not- using rawhide.

the “rolling” simply means when its time to go 42->43 you’ll receive those updates as standard package updates without needing to do any specific commands/changes.

Stares in Debian Testing/Sid.

Brave? Yeah…nope

Matty_r@programming.dev on 15 May 07:39 next collapse

Damn, not sure I’m a fan of any of this. I left Arch because I didn’t want to be on Rolling release any more, and really liked what Nobara was offering for the out of the box experience.

Brave is super sketchy, and not sure about putting in yet another thing to handle updates (replacing plasma-discover and gnome-software).

I’m wondering if its worth forking it to remove some of these changes.

Fizz@lemmy.nz on 15 May 09:06 next collapse

I’ll definitely uninstall brave but it makes sense why they chose it. People crying over it are being dumb. Hopefully when Firefox fixes its crashing issue it can go back to the default.

qweertz@programming.dev on 15 May 09:41 next collapse

The partial unannounced update broke my installation, which is why I finally ditched Nobara for Bluefin

Kristof12@lemmy.ml on 15 May 12:21 next collapse

Rolling release? Not expecting this lol noice with brave by default

rmuk@feddit.uk on 16 May 10:23 collapse

The rolling release thing isn’t for me, but I get why that model might appeal. Brave, though? Why?
