I don't know why, but I had a very negative impression of Brave for a long time. I still haven't tried their browser, but the search is suprisingly good! It also uses their own web index, which I find to be very impressive.


Brave threads on HN have a lot of very hostile posters, so it's not surprising.


Can you ELI5 why that is so? A quick search showed that it's mostly ex-Mozilla folks at Brave.


Not having alternatives is really bad. Chromium-only web would suck.


Android never used the Linux userspace. Steam Deck is using KDE. I'm optimistic.


Gooooood


Will you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamewar comments to HN? You've continued to do it repeatedly since we asked you to stop. If you keep it up, we're going to have to ban you.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.


Please do ban, it tells more about you than me. I'll just open a new one.


20+ years of hard work by the Wine team has paid off!


A lot of work on Wine was done by Codeweavers and as far as I know, Valve subcontracted Proton development to them. Both wine and proton are open source and patches flow both ways with a lot of the same people working on both.

I'm not an expert on the topic, and I might be wrong, but nothing I've ever seen suggests there is any animosity between any of the people working on these projects. This is easily a 'everyone wins' story :).


indeed it is. It's fantastic even.

I wonder who is suggesting this animosity.

My only issue with protonis that too many folks are referring to proton without knowing about wine, which has caused some misunderstandings and misapplication of credit.

I'd like to see it mentioned somewhere prominently that proton relies on wine.


Another reminder that centralized services like Cloudflare are a bad idea.


I love KDE connect and it uses sshfs in the background. I hope it gets a new owner soon. Hmmm, maybe I should volunteer...


We should stop using Instagram or any Facebook service.


> Apple has control over your phone, your passwords, your photos, your music, your emails, your credit cards/payment methods. And you can backup nothing of it in a usable way. Without a working Apple account any iPhone is as good as a brick.

This is why no one could ever convince me to buy an Apple product.


I can't believe I'm saying this, but Facebook is right.

Apple should be given a massive punitive fine for preventing app sideloading. This is disgusting anti-competitive behaviour.
