@gnukeith on X, a @Brave + $BAT Ambassador specifically chosen by Brave is now promoting far-right extremists on X.

Brave CEO, Brendan Eich, was previously ousted from his role as CEO of Mozilla, after it was found that he had donated to Prop 8, a campaign in California aimed at banning gay marriage. Despite Brendan Eich claiming at the time that he regrets his decision, he has since made multiple social media posts defending his anti-gay position.

At some point people must decide whether they wish to ditch the Fox, as Brave started advertising to users searching up Firefox on the Google Play Store, or if they want to ditch the anti-LGBTQ+ browser.

    I remember the moment Walter Bright of D fame started to do something about letting bad people use the language (the infamous “let nazis code” line), the number of contributions didn’t really drop at first, instead it started to slowly pick up its former popularity it lost with the Dv2 release (long story short: the language foundation unleashed the attribute hell on the language, then people moved to Go or the then freshly started Rust).

      That sounds fascinating. Do you happen to know any articles or Usenet threads I can read? The search engines spit out nothing for me, even Google gives me “some of the results may have been removed” - I’m a sucker for these types of stories. That must’ve happened when, somewhere around 2011 ???
