As someone very uninformed about Brave, what is unethical about it?

it can fuck up microsoft office formatted documents.
The problem there is not with LibreOffice, but with Microsoft Office. They do not implement the format standard correctly.
Not that it eliminated your problem, but it’s important to understand who the real culprit is and why.
It should probably also be mentioned that she was laid off, not fired.
She was also the producer for Lightyear, which imo was not a very good movie.
When I was about ten years old, I bought the game Warrior Kings while visiting my grandparents using my birthday money. When I got home, I tried to install it on our computer, only to discover that the game wouldn’t install because of some DRM thing. Years later, I discovered what really happened was that the copy I bought was apparently not an original disc, but as a kid I had no way to know. I spent hours trying to install it, attempting many times over the next month. The pictures on the box looked so dang cool, but I never did get to play it.
DRM hurts consumers. When you aren’t able to use software you yourself paid for, that’s a negative. There is no benefit for the consumer, the benefit is only for the seller.
From what I remember, they only asked for a username and an optional email address.
Yep. A commercial license is $940 a year, and as far as I understand you need a separate license for each person using it.
Through a subscription fee, no less.
Drives me crazy when I see this kind of format for things like programming. Nothing like pausing the video and trying to see what their code says.
Exactly! Always push for code pointers for everything people tell you about the codebase. Even if the code has a bug and isn’t working as intended, it’s so important to know the actual truth if what’s happening.
An easy way to confirm your first point: would you still want to do it if you were paid significantly less? If so, then yeah, you’re in the right place.
So many problems can be solved by just reading the code. A corollary to this: make sure the code you write is readable.
Why ignore ReVanced?
Exactly. This event is an effort for them to prove that the platform is just as active and enjoyable as it was before the chaos.
What about audio? We ought to crowd source every line of dialogue as well.
I still can’t figure out why anybody is using the site whatsoever.
Who on earth decided to leave the projector on while they took the group photo?
TIL there is a search function for Lemmy.
Yep, which is why many people had this exact experience: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones
Idk, the piracy community is huge here. Of all communities I’ve looked at, it’s by far the most active.
