Have you ever actually used Brave? Because then you would have noticed the huge glowing opt-out billboard of a new tab page.

soulless unreadable AI slop

Probably the only part of that setup on AWS that wouldn't cost a fortune.

In defense of Vivaldi, it is actually up to date, just on the Extended Stable cycle: https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/releases?platform=Mac

Cal.com is not a severely underfunded project, it raised around $32M of VC money.

The feeders are battery powered, so they can't be always streaming 24/7 with lights on.

It's just a bunch of information about GitHub infra, like what IPs they use, what SSH fingerprints to expect when connecting to GitHub over SSH, etc.

Someone pointed this out on Twitter - it looks like StackOverflow recently updated their robots.txt file to explicitly disallow all crawlers. Obviously, this won't stop those that don't respect robots.txt, but I found this decision strange. Not even Google or Bing's crawlers (which respect robots.txt) will be able to crawl StackOverflow, which could be the final nail in the coffin for SO, since (presumably) most StackOverflow traffic comes from search engines.

The section you mentioned does not say anything about having counters for labels. It only mentions that they record "[t]he times of the first and most recent instances of queries for each query label".

Why does the "share" button upload the password to your server in plaintext?

Absolutely. I love the work they have been doing on the backend, like PQ3 [1], but it just doesn't work for me when the Stickers and Emojis extensions on Mac leak several GBs of RAM and I have to terminate it several times a day to free up memory.

Another thing I dislike is that it stores the whole message history on the device. It's nice to have at times, but I send a lot of photos, which adds up in storage over time. I pay for iCloud, and store my messages there. Why does my Mac need to hold every single photo I have ever sent?

I don't think that would be possible, as Liberapay is essentially just a UI for accepting donations directly into the developers' Stripe/PayPal accounts.

The price of "free" is very tempting. I guess the cost of the servers they offer is having to put up with idiotic requirements like "CPU utilization for the 95th percentile [must be more] than 20%" [1], or they'll shut off your server.

I use one of these servers for hosting some non-critical things, but nothing that I run there is particularly CPU intensive, so I was just forced to set up a cronjob that periodically spikes the CPU to 100% for a few minutes.

Because the efforts of Anna's Archive are unfortunately currently very much illegal, and XMR is one of the few cryptocurrencies that can actually offer some privacy to its users.

Any current plans for a macOS release?
