@gnukeith on X, a @Brave + $BAT Ambassador specifically chosen by Brave is now promoting far-right extremists on X.

Brave CEO, Brendan Eich, was previously ousted from his role as CEO of Mozilla, after it was found that he had donated to Prop 8, a campaign in California aimed at banning gay marriage. Despite Brendan Eich claiming at the time that he regrets his decision, he has since made multiple social media posts defending his anti-gay position.

At some point people must decide whether they wish to ditch the Fox, as Brave started advertising to users searching up Firefox on the Google Play Store, or if they want to ditch the anti-LGBTQ+ browser.

    He doesn’t regret his actions or beliefs. He regrets being found out and getting fired.

    I’m starting to associate the word “woke” with conservatives rather than “woke” people.

    It’s like they only know one word. They’re Pokémon.

      It’s like they only know one word.

      I’ve noticed that too.

      It’s like they’ve got only one go-to insult and then it just vanishes and there’s a new one. Like it was cuck just a few years back, soyboy before that… and probably way more that I’m forgetting. But it seems like they go from “I must use <current putdown> in every post!” to it being almost forgotten and instead they must use a new putdown is in every post. And it happens in the space of… like two or three months. It’s eerie.

      I’m sure “woke” will go the way of the dodo in a few years and conservatives will be calling everyone “compassi-traitors” or something.

    Who the hell do they think is programming their software? I just don’t understand this nonsense.

      They want to tell LGBTQ+ people what they should & shouldn’t be allowed to do with their own software.

          The point is that many of these open source projects are hugely supported by open source developers in the LGBTQ+ community & minorities from all over the world. It requires building diverse inclusive communities, cooperation & support for these projects & members to exist. There is absolutely no room for hate & bigotry.

          Then these anti-DEI incels come along & complain about diversity telling them what their projects should & shouldn’t, essentially wanting to remove the communities, cooperation & support that make these projects successful. They don’t even want to contribute, but just want to complain. Then they go find some right-wing software, realize it sucks ass, then come back & complain more about why can’t the software they want to use cater to their hate.

            I remember the moment Walter Bright of D fame started to do something about letting bad people use the language (the infamous “let nazis code” line), the number of contributions didn’t really drop at first, instead it started to slowly pick up its former popularity it lost with the Dv2 release (long story short: the language foundation unleashed the attribute hell on the language, then people moved to Go or the then freshly started Rust).

    Ah yes, anime girl profile pic, the one, and really only thing that unites the left and right that sets them apart from centrists.

    Jesus Christ, man. Lunduke used to be someone I listened to. It’s so sad to see what he’s become.

    And now Brave too, but I guess Brave has always been shady. Shady and shitty go hand in hand.

      Influencer-industrial complex… the YT algorithm constantly pushes them to make these bad takes as it brings the clicks (and subsequently ad revenue money) and after a while they get high on their own supply.

    God fucking damnit, Brave always seemed the most decent of the Chromiums, really why the burning hell do I now also need to find another browser? I’m still trying to kick out Proton after they cuddled up to Diaper Donnie.
