Brendan Eich founded Brave after being booted from Mozilla over his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Shame about the crypto bs and homophobia though.

It doesn’t help that there’s basically no documentation for how to use the Gecko engine either.

The engine is where like 95% of the complexity lies though. Maybe more.

In this case having more browser engines not under Google’s control is probably a good thing. Although this effort might’ve been better spent working on Servo.

In what way is it less effort than vim? I’ve tried helix a little bit and it didn’t seem that different.

It’s not a paper, it’s a stream-of-consciousness style blog post.

Yes, I simplified for the sake of brevity. But you’re reading a lot into their comments that just isn’t there. Yes they were running interference for a nazi (and not making a particularly compelling case) but there’s nothing to indicate it was intentional. (It’s not a strawman argument either btw, unless you’re claiming they intentionally ignored the boogaloo reference rather than just not knowing about them.)

Edit: Also I don’t think not making assumptions about someone’s motivations is the same thing as ‘putting faith’ in them.

No, but it is primarily a white supremacists movement and the ‘88’ on the license plate kinda takes away all doubt.

Moving the goalposts means changing the rules of a debate while having it. They said they’d agree with them being a Nazi if there was evidence beyond the number 88 being on the license plate, someone else pointed out what the “BOOG” meant, they accepted that the person who owns the car is a Nazi. No goalposts moved.

That’s… not what moving the goalposts means.

I think that may have been in reference to using AWS, not corretto specifically.

In most cases they could probably switch to OpenJDK without losing anything whatsoever.

You can also use & to get &.

Edit: Fuck, I meant &

Edit 2: &

Okay nevermind, either lemmy or sync resolves html entities recursively apparently.

Edit 3: &
