Well, Brave is -regardless of the companies decisions- still a damn good browser with many build in essentials (TOR, IPFS, Bittorrent...), so, while I PERSONALLY don't use this anymore (currently I use an heavily patched suckless surf and Dillo) I don't see much wrong in including this in a distribution especially catering to users switching from windows.

I don't think that this is a good idea... after the LHC was activated in 2008 we somehow broke the universe and ended up in THIS timeline, i don't want to think about the possibilities if they activate an even bigger particle collider!

Well, in reality its only a step back into the 80s when the Bundeswehr was quiet well armed, and one shouldn't forget that the conscription was only put on hold in 2010 and never really abolished.

Honestly, I think this is a good thing. I am old enough to have witnessed the last time we Europeans were pissed at the US during the time of George W. Bush. Back then I hoped the EU would break free from their dependency of the US... perhaps this time it finally happens.

Well... if you as a nation wouldn't have this big military of yours and the ability to kill 90% of all life on earth, and IF you would stick to your home turf to fight out this rough shit... well THEN it would be much more easy to ignore you.

Well, for me it would be the setup i am now using since about 15 years:

WM: flwm Filemanager: ROX-Filer Background: feh

... and a ton of tools i accumulated over the yesrs

Right... BUT it was perfectly readable in bright daylight!

I mean.. yeah, having all the electronic gadgets that spy on you and let you read the post of the worlds united village yokels is great, but, just as a thought... why do i need to recharge my phone at least once a day when the Atari Portfolio (which was / is a nearly full IBM PC compatible computer) that was build in '89 did last about A MONTH on 3 AA batteries that i could buy nearly everywhere in the world?

Imagine a world where not every consumer electronic is controled by layers upon layers upon layers of cruft running on an operating system that in its core still thinks it is powering an PDP11 and talking to a bunch of teletypes...

Is this the appropriate point to reference the suckless community? I mean, that's THE point of the movement...

Do you just expect people to have molotov cocktails on themselves and ready to go at all times?

Well, thinking about it... it may become handy in the times we are heading towards...

Ist das echt?

Ansonsten... ich bin eh schon davon überzeugt, dass wir in einem schlechten Remake der 80er leben, eine... ähm... aus Ruinen auferstandene... DDR würde mich also nicht mehr besonders wundern.
