Fanbase, maybe. Software engineers using these projects? Probably forking and updating themselves.

FWIW, I've opened a half dozen PRs from LLMs and had them approved. I have some prompts I use to make them very difficult to tell they are AI.

However if it is a big anti-llm project I just fork and have agents rebase my changes.

Your employer allows/encourages this? Do you run that stuff in production? Would you mind telling us where you work so we can avoid using their products? It is just not possible to trust the software that emerges from the process you've described.

>I don't get people like you at all.

Because you don't try, which says more about you than OP. It's a major problem with society.

And you'll see the exact same thing here on HN.

Comments here should be read as opinions, not as facts. I see it every time there is a subject I know deeply about, 90%+ of the comments are either factually incorrect or just bad opinions.

How do you 100% determine a comment is form a bot/troll?

100%? You don't.

But when you see people confidently stating unreasonable things in short posts, it's a common tip-off for a bot/shill/zealot/troll. When they assume a starting point that is two standard deviations out of most peoples' Overton Window, and they don't defend it, just kind of "Of course X is true", that's someone who is blasting propaganda, not having a reasonable discussion. They just want to say "X is true" enough times that people start to believe it.

As I said, that's not 100%. For any individual instance, you can look at their posting history. But for a comment section, when you start to see such posts taking over more and more of the discussion, you can say that the discussion has been taken over with very close to 100% certainty, even if you can't be certain about any one post.

Even with auto downloads turned off, does it show up in your app library or as a purchased app?

You can still have a app library with apps that "should be" downloaded, what happens if its removed from that list?

> so you're already half a fascist for using Brave,

Are you really calling the 100M monthly brave users half fascist? Can you explain more how you reach this conclusion, specifically relative to every other product you judge people for using?

OP was making a sarcastic joke, but nobody bothers reading the second paragraph to understand that.

Read my comment again and you'll have your answer.

Come on.

There is a single toggle to turn this off, if it makes people rage so much for something you get for free (I realize not free beer/freedom) then I don't know what else to say.

To be clear, the toggle is to turn off the 'wallet' feature that isn't even enabled until you use it. So you are just disabling seeing the thing at all... with a simple toggle.

You are missing the forest for the trees my friend

I also have to disable the "acceptable ads", with a simple toggle.

And the AI bullshit from their builtin search engine, I'd guess that too is a simple toggle.

Without googling, I'd put good money that there's a thing called "Brave VPN" in the homepage by default, and I have to disable that with a simple toggle.

In two years I may have to disable the crypto-miner, still with a simple toggle, of course, very user convenient.

This is the entire industry in a nutshell. Everyone, from every direction, at all times, is trying to squeeze you for a few cents with antagonistic "features" enabled by default. I have very little patience for this.

"But it's a simple click." Have some self respect, we can do better than this.

Correct. You have to spend a while in settings disabling stuff.

The browser does not re-enable the things you have disabled, but they keep implementing new stuff that you have to disable too.

It’s annoying, although that’s how most software works nowadays (and I include Firefox unfortunately). You have to disable a lot of stuff to make it usable.

PoE can be cheap, but usually never cheaper than non-poe. But if you have a PoE switch and spare ports, its very nice.

The problem comes when you try to design a large network and need random PoE ports on end devices where you can't home-run a cable back.

I have a Unifi Pro XG 48 PoE and I love it, but I still don't use PoE for everything. The cost of a (non unifi) poe device + the cost of using one of those ports always exceeds a simple power adapter on the other side (if possible).

I think about this a lot.

And when ssh is down because you OOMd or something else?

I don't really run heavy loads on my home server, so I haven't thought of that

Makes sense, thanks!

For me, it makes a difference much later on after buying some computer. I see a usb/c port and think I can plug anything into it that fits and it just works.

When it doesn't, it will take hours/days to figure out why and if it comes down to a cable incompatibility, I would have already made the mistake of not knowing what I was buying.
