Just about every piece of text on the photo actually, the brand, the seal of approval thing etc
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 3 days ago:
You (the end user) decide how you want to use the internet. The forks you’re probably angry about are the ‘hardened forks’, but whether or not you care about their goals and want to use those is a choice only you can make. Most of what they do is basically change some default configs and remove some ‘bad’(according to the maintainers and the users) features.
There’s also forks like zen that under the hood use firefox, but customize the user experience significantly.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 3 days ago:
A bunch of forks just add extra functions, patches or defaults on top of firefox. It’s not a hard fork as in they maintain everything themselves, they’re still based on the latest official firefox releases

Just about every gadget on Kickstarter these days has the option to add tritium vials. “Find your tool anywhere any time” -kinda thing

And it’s not a bad feature to have for the functionality of some sites. It’s just that as with any feature/rule/etc it can be abused. So a toggle like (according to a comment above) some plugins exist to add is an unfortunate necessity.
- Comment on The meaning of life? 3 weeks ago:
I’m curious on how you plan to retire at 50. Doing that where I live means you basically get no pension so you’d have to have saved up enough to live the rest of your life during those 27 years, so a bit over half your income would need to go into a savings account.
- Comment on What are You Working on Wednesday 4 weeks ago:
This week I gave up on trying to convince the teamlead an oauth access token lifetime of 5 years is too much. Yes, an access token, not an API key. There’s no revocation mechanism either.
At home I fixed RBAC for traefic, after wading through config and in the end basically just flipping switches until it worked. It does work now though so admin apps are inaccessible to family accounts. Still somewhat open for suggestions as I’m not 100% convinced by traefic yet.
- Comment on Finally, a USB standard that can provide the data AND power requirements of a city. 5 weeks ago:
Any superconductor will do actually, it’s just that the ones we have at this point need to be really frigging cold. A room temp superconductor is the dream, and would function exactly the same as one that only works at a few kelvin.
- Comment on Sick days 5 weeks ago:
In belgium we used to have 3 days of no-doctor-note sick leave for single days, but they were afraid of people taking it as an extra vacation day so it’s been reduced to 2 now.
Sick leave with note is just errr not limited though the social system does take over from your employer in terms of paying you for prolonged sickness.

Homemade :). For real though it’s not that hard.

Sure this won’t apply to everyone, but if the effort of searching it in confluence is harder than arranging a call your documentation is not structured properly.

I do this except I’m just adding more sentences or rewriting my last message with more info

Ah I missed a step in your, my bad my bad. I should stop commenting when tired haha
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 1 month ago:
Even better when the desktop launcher launches the epic games launcher which launches the rockstar launcher.
- Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them? 2 months ago:
It’s about the findability of the post and correctness of votes. A serial downvoter will diminish both, creating a disconnect between the real quality and the perceived quality.
No those three votes probably won’t make a big difference, but it’s a real problem if this becomes commonplace

The EU might have a rollout of the digital euro soon… Soon being 2029 for the initial rollout because that is fast for us.

There’s been a string of misogynistic man vs women posts lately… And the image you sent fits that profile very well (even if the text content goes a different way)
- Comment on 2 months ago:
For real yeah, like it’s gotta be some default in an internationalisation library. It’s way too common on websites for that not to be the case.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Real funny they coloured it differently, because Flanders literally shares a language with The Netherlands.
To be fair half the world seems to forget Belgium is not all french sometimes, or puts french as the default even though Flanders’ population is almost twice as large as Wallonie. Even adding the population of Brussels and Wallonie, Flanders still has the larger population. (Numbers for stats come from statbel)

I wasn’t calling you out at all just going on a bit of a tangent :)
- Comment on We can play that game too 3 months ago:
I love taxes, I would gladly pay even more taxes if that meant everyone would be provided for.
Except at the moment our taxes here in Belgium are already quite high, and our tax system is a complete cluster fuck with plenty of loopholes for the strongest shoulders to not have to carry their weight. Some part of that is even fraudulent, and they’re trying to get a law through right now to find those cases of fraud more efficiently… But it is being opposed by parts of the govt with privacy as the excuse (which I’d normally agree with, except what they’re trying to change is not that egregious afaik and the ratio of found vs investigated fraud is insane)

Indeed, all fun and games until they kidnap you from the streets because their religious laws prohibit the way you dress.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 months ago:
In terms of unique features there’s a few places where it shines.
Glance: You know how you open a link in the background to not lose the tab you’re currently on? Well in Zen you just click it with Alt+click and it pops open in an overlay which you can easily click away when you’re done with it (or open it to a ‘full’ tab if you need it)
Split view: exactly what it sounds like, have multiple tabs open side-by-side or above each other in the same window
Side tabs: exactly what sideberry does except the browser is fully designed around it with features like workspaces (with per workspace themes), essential tabs (are shown on top in each workspace) and pinned tabs (per workspace) all just being great.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 months ago:
It’s great, it does basically what sideberry does (or at least what it did for me, iirc sideberry had a config page 3 miles long so ymmv) but it’s built-in and that allows for things an extension just couldn’t do.
And then there’s glance and split view which I pretty much can’t live without anymore
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 months ago:
I used to use sideberry too, now I’m on the zen browser firefox fork and its pretty great

Depending on the image gallery you’re using it might respect .noimage
- Comment on apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people 3 months ago:
I think it’s annoying so I blocked em after like the third comment of theirs that I saw. I then proceeded to move on and not think about them at all, let alone make a post.
Same thing with Drag and probably a bunch of other people I blocked. They are free to type whatever they like, but I’m not gonna see it.
