I use brave and think it's the best browser available, so I'm not arguing against it or anything, but technically it just supports use of the onion protocol, it does not provide the same full suite of protections that the tor browser does

As Brave says themselves:

For users who currently require leakproof privacy, we recommend using the Tor Browser, which provides much stronger and well-tested protection against websites or eavesdroppers using advanced techniques to uncover a true IP address.

the lack of depth was what really made the game a disappointment

this right here. I didn't experience any bugs at all on pc but the game is just bad, the world doesn't feel lived in, and the gameplay is just meh (some guns were fun though)

Lemmy users try not to correct you challenge (impossible)

"I'll stand by our Mujahideen brothers until the end!"

really "normie" is a normie term now, ever since Wednesday on Netflix became a pop culture phenomenon. I've heard people in real life use this term

what a pose!

just so you know, Mozilla vpn is just a repackaged mullvad vpn, they're partnered

good to hear. dodi just officially denied the accusations as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15ivtzk/dodi_verified_release_on_tg_has_crypto_miner/juy98il/

although he claims integritycheck.exe is a windows process, when clearly it is also the name of that miner I linked above

my guess is the dodi account on torrent galaxy, although verified, could be a fake and is putting in these viruses, or maybe the people commenting saying they got the virus from dodi actually got it from that hogwarts legacy crack which originally had this miner.

either way, I always hope the community will take these sorts of claims seriously and investigate to ensure everyone's safety

it's not a false positive people are finding. it's a bitcoin miner called integritycheck.exe

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15itrip/1337x_admins_allowing_bg3_torrent_with_bitcoin/juxiobs/

it seems like half the people I see who downloaded it say they got a tojan, and half didn't. Could it possibly be triggering only for certain people? perhaps if their specs are good enough for bitcoin mining or not? or maybe just at random? just spitballing here

There are claims from comments on torrent galaxy that dodis release has the same bitcoin miner:

I hope someone can get to the bottom of this

for real though.. as an American I would love if we were 11 years behind the EU in lots of other areas

brave search is the closest alternate that actually has decent results

people usually look where they are going

I've barely used mine. I just didn't think through what use case I'd have for it and bought it since it was cool. I don't travel much and I usually only want to game when I'm home anyway, where I use my main gaming rig. I thought I would use the deck in bed, but I find that it's not as enticing as I thought it would be

been meaning try and sell it while it's still got some value tbh, it's basically brand new even though I've had it for nearly a year

agreed. imo YouTube has one of the best algorithms out of any social media site. maybe it's just because I've had an account for over 10 years, but it always suggests great videos

yeah I agree. I've noticed a real decline in quality too. I think it's because the entire site is just bots reposting old content and bots commenting old comments

Agreed. clearly there is no getting through that thick liberal skull of yours

Fucking hell, can you possibly be more patronizing? Maybe you should read a book. Because nothing I'm saying is false or misleading. Meanwhile you've flip flopped all over the place and have no real point and have contributed no sources to back up any of your claims.

I have not "just discovered political science and ideologies". I simply am versed in the actual meanings of words, instead of just loosely using words like "progressive" to mean whatever I want.

Wikipedia is simply a good way to introduce political concepts to people who obviously have no idea what the terms like liberalism, conservatism, progressivism actually mean. Like most of the people replying to me in this thread.

You say you understand where I'm coming from, yet don't even have a consistent point that you're working with here. You're just arguing for the sake of it so you can be patronizing.

You liberals are just pissed because I had the gall to criticize Obama from the left. I have backed up everything I've posted with sources (some directly from Obama himself) that confirm everything I've said.

Everyone responding to me, including you, are just finding some random nonsense to strawman me with so you can pretend to have an argument.

Being a progressive does not have a different meaning in contemporary discussion. Progressivism doesn't mean something different in the US. The US has leftist progressives like Bernie Sanders.

You are all strawmanning me and trying to make it seem like I'm saying Obama made no progress, when I'm saying Obama wasn't a progressive.

We are talking about politics. Political ideologies are obviously going to be a part of the conversation. Quit acting like bringing them up is "viewing events from the lens of classical ideologies". You just aren't versed in political science.

Here is a page about progressivism specifically in the US if you want to learn more:
