Brave even in the discussion is atleast a big improvement in affairs. I couldn't name a single chromium privacy fork from 5 years ago or whenever they started.

It's also like a few clicks to turn off brave settings. It's less setup for brave than I go through on any new video game settings lol

I think this tech is still only for faces mostly. Aren't any cgi'd actor have someone else playing the role and their face edited?

Pretty easy to turn off the crypto stuff

Just use brave. I don't get why people are still trying to split off a new no-Google pro privacy chromium when there is a Very good option already. If people pushed to help brave even better we would be in a very good world

The BS filter is only obvious because we all agree that scientifically, watching a movie can't change your medical risk.

Try swapping the graph labels with: Took vitamin D pills, Excercised 30mins a week, Got the vaccine.

Most would agree that all three points probably have some level of health benefit. Suddenly the cause vs correlation can be much more difficult for the average person to determine.

Do all three reduce the death risk? Do some of them just also trend with more health conscious individuals? Are any of the three just completely bogus?

I think most people outside php have no idea what Laravel is, while anyone working in php is using Laravel so basically our viewpoint is Laravel = php. I don't know what it is about the normal personality that anyone using something you don't understand just be "doing it wrong"

Well php has strong typing built in now and they have been iterating on it every release. It's well ahead of native js. I can't imagine having any real complaints on using 8.x php for a back end these days.

Yeah I always wonder when you hear like "99% DNA match!!". So like you confirmed the DNA is probably from a human?

The most insane part of streaming is all services are capped at 720p on desktop. This is the biggest thing everyone should be yelling at lol. To watch anything on desktop I have to pirate it just to have watchable quality

Damn, this makes me drool over an alternate universe where discord, slack, and teams are just competing irc clients. Unfortunately I can't imagine anything like that ever happening

Having a ci/cd pipeline is much different than having to setup and maintain local environment build pipelines.

I've used php extensively in the past decade. You could kinda of say your argument about any modern web language. If I'm already comfortable in php, .net, node, ruby, or heck even java, for making a web app, do I really "need" to learn another? Not really. Every one has a different way of doing things, sure, not every different thing is better, but it is different. I think just people like to learn about multiple, but sure, you can always be stubborn and stick with your single hammer.

The two things I can think of quickly, that I like about php, over another, is the ease of code->browser. You have to manage 0 build configurations or pipelines to get what you want working. Just download the files and open a browser. The second, is 100% transparency with third party libraries. Because of the lack of ability to compile, when I download a third party library, I'm getting their actual true source, and can much easier, navigate and understand the library right through the ide, without having to read a bunch of docs online and that it's true to source. Being able to control click into third party libraries is quite liberating.
