Until now it was defense and now it will be much more defense.

Fine, so who will be judging if there's a depressive content on the internet, a psychologist? Also how about non-US sites, will they be banned or something?

From many of the comments it seems the community doesn't like Brendan Eich and crypto, and maybe even practises a cancel culture. Because the CEO's beliefs about gay marriage or showing few crypto links don't make Brave a better or worse software.

Government intervention goes the other way: capitalists like intervening into government.

Some retirement saving schemes may be a pyramid scheme. When the population growth stagnates, there will not be enough young people to produce for everyone.

Capitalism is a scheme where finite raw materials are being extracted and where finite nature is being destroyed - both on the planetary scale; once we reach the end, it will be the end.

"Given Worldcoin is still in Beta, Orb availability is mostly limited to Argentina, Chile, India, Kenya, Portugal and Spain, as well as demos at blockchain and identity conferences."

Yes it's a hard question how to deal with this. Practically all the consumer goods somehow harm the environment.

You don't need a 65" OLED TV because you know it's bad for the environment.

I meant liberalism as progressivism and leftism, not economic liberalism nor libertarianism. What I mind is that herd behaviour of many fellows who downvote stuff even if it's a plausible idea, and vice versa.

I totally agree. We can have whatever political direction that we choose, nevertheless in practice it seems the majority of Lemmy is liberal & progressive & leftist. There is obviously nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is downvoting & upvoting along these political lines and disregarding how well is each idea formulated. It does happen too often in my opinion.

I partly agree with you but I'm afraid it still won't stop voting along political lines.

Exploited in the sense that the current state of the world gives them little other choice than to resort to pron. Like before there were slaves, then peasants, now there are job contracts, but the person most likely deserves to have some better work than that.

Well, I know that part about the FOSS spirit and dissatisfaction with big corporations controlling the internet. Anyhow, I've seen here many occasions of what I would call a tactical voting where well formulated and polite comments get downvoted.

Liberal views are like progressive and leftist.

Pron is not what it used to be. Pron tubes are so full of crap these days that it indeed warrants some health warning. Those women are often exploited if nothing else.

I believe someone will make a patch and add a big WEI on/off switch. It's open-source, hey!

How about having the WEI configurable just for particular sites, bit like FoxyProxy.

Sorry, what is PoS? I'm using Brave just shortly but it appears to be concerned with privacy and ad-blocking - more than what Firefox does.

Well, that's the worst case scenario. I hope that Brave will fork Chromium and leave the WEI out. Brave prides itself on being the no nonsense browser ...
