There is some valid criticism made of Brave in this thread, which seems to ignore that those additional features are opt-in. In my experience, Brave is the best browser for empowering the less technically literate to protect their privacy.

"Speculation is still high for the exact reason behind Iger’s departure, with many hoping for something benign (ish) like a presidential run versus a personal issue." This country seems desperate for the hope of better leadership.

No, the data cited is not for online searches. I expected the same, but it goes back to the 19th century. Probably it's the frequency with which the word appears in scanned literature, which is even farther removed from anything releva

I'm can't tell if the author is going for irreverent levity, or actually thinks they are expressing something meaningful here. The Google graph doesn't even seem relevant from an earnest, literal perspective.

For Brave 1.5.5 you toggle: Settings -> Accessibility -> Simplified view. After making this change, the option to switch views will appear at the bottom of the screen, but only if Brave detects/decides that the page is suitable f

If you are using Brave or Firefox, you can just use "reader mode" to bypass the paywall.

Some bots serve a purpose. Maybe such bots should be able to register as bots, have a visual distinct appearance to all of their tweets, be automatically ignored in many contexts (like activity metrics, retweet counts, like counts), allow t

I agree, and the point of my previous comment was to agree with you, while also implying one of the benefits of increasing the usage of Brave among non-technophiles. Blocking these anti-features comes automatically with Brave, no effort or

Yes. Another way of looking at this is to say "there are more than two sides". Many lay people have no direct contact with the thoughts of scientists concerned about climate change, but do have direct contact with the thoughts of

Would you consider avoiding this style of quotation for quotes that don't benefit from monospace? It renders poorly on mobile.

Viewed with Brave, I see a rather minimalist version which loaded quickly. Also, no annoying pop-up.

Nearly every comment made by this user in this thread, at this time, is at odds with HN community standards, particularly as they related to tone and substance.

I agree that one can mis-evaluate the level of personal threat by assigning the wrong meaning to evidence of property crimes. This doesn't mean we should assign no meaning, though. Many of the factors at play which can cause escalatio

Nice to meet you. I used to write primarily in lower case and often ignored punctuation, because it's faster and easier. I also find less-capitalized-than-normal text easier to read. I find it fascinating that people who communicate l

Let's keep this in context. Are you saying that Cummings did or did not 'apparently value being unique and "non rule following" over the comfort and ease of reading' ? Edit: Or maybe you are saying that we should o

Is it possible you responded to the wrong person? I agree that this thread seems to be damaged by excessive criticism and focus on the writing style, but the parent comment was simply offering a solution.

I don't see how that's relevant, as I was talking about the man, his actions, and the presumption of motive. Cummings disregarded capitalization norms in his prose as well. Edit: Maybe you meant: since Cummings wrote a lot of poet

I think it is unfair of you to assume his motive, and inappropriate to use the idiom normally used to impugn one's character. Would you apply the same reasoning to Cummings?

I find your capitalization choices relaxing to read, and allows for better pacing. The critical parent comment was primarily sharing a perspective shared by a subset of potential readers. You can ignore the feedback, but responding with t

I agree, but took the intent to be worse than sarcastic, rather a manipulative effort to invalidate another's position by implying the very language they use to describe reality is invalid. In other words, it's like prefacing the

That's an awful lot of unsubstantiated speculation. This has the vibe of a writer that has a foregone conclusion which they seek to reach.

Your suggestion that " this starts with the assumption that what people like me went through is trivial" is a non- sequitur. You made a generalization, the response above simply suggests a more nuanced view. They did not suggest a
