Brave with the shady features switched off. There’s still some privacy burden on the user, but it’s no comparison with Chrome and they’re pushing the envelope on privacy in other aspects.

Firefox forks are another option, depending on your reasons for avoiding the original.


>Brave with the shady features switched off

any examples? if you mean crypto and ads then these are opt in last time i checked.


Godot lets you use whatever language you want. C# included.



I don't use godot and know more about its limitations than its advocates in this thread. Are they being disingenuous? Do they just not know basic information about their own tools?


A bet on cosmic rays is a rare bet indeed ;)


Rare but does happen.

Not necessarily cosmic rays but things like marginal timing can cause errors like this, especially on GPU buses/VRAM that tend to have less protection.

GPGPU and now AI has made accuracy of results more important, but before that, GPUs were regularly ran at the limits and it was assumed that occasional barely-visible artifacts or otherwise computation errors whose results aren't noticeable were acceptable. (Imagine you're playing a 3D game and a few pixels in a frame occasionally have incorrect values, or some shapes are a pixel off --- unless the errors are massive, you're unlikely to notice.)


This project comes from FUTO, which is now making a name for itself by releasing and maintaining OSS alternatives like this, as well as sponsoring development of other OSS options. I personally first came across them when Louis Rossmann announced his affiliation. Very excited to see where this goes!

As an aside, I wonder what it will take to get the protocol integrated into browsers? I presume Chrome is a foregone conclusion, but maybe Firefox and/or Brave would be interested in an integration?



Does that make it any less entrenched?


Good point, bad tone :)


Don’t wait to grow up. The sooner you fail, the sooner you’ll succeed.


I like where your head is at, but one does need some runway.


I think they’re obliquely referring to the scanning practices of major providers like Gmail, which most people use to filter their spam.


Interesting. Maybe footer emails tend to be support contact addresses rather than personal inboxes. Otherwise I’d find that discrepancy very surprising.


Unless you’re the one trying to sell them, in which case that’s part of doing business :)
