Putin lauds 'brave' North Korean soldiers who fought against Ukraine during talks with Kim: https://benborges.xyz/2025/09/03/putin-lauds-brave-north-korean.html

Started watching this on Hulu and it's precisely my kind of dark humor.
Creator Kat Sadler described the show as “a family sitcom about trauma, but it’s more about us being narcissistic losers who are pathetically obsessed with what people think about us.”

Microsoft's Recall is meeting a lot of resistance from app developers, with Brave and AdGuard joining Signal in blocking the controversial Windows AI tool (Tom Warren/The Verge)

Microsoft’s controversial Recall feature is now blocked by Brave and AdGuard
App developers are starting to block access to Windows Recall. AdGuard, Signal, and Brave aren’t fans of Microsoft’s AI tool.

Sonnet 015 - XV
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and checked even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich i…

Brave blocks Windows Recall from screenshotting your browsing activity
Brave Software says its privacy-focused browser will block Microsoft's Windows Recall from capturing screenshots of Brave windows by default to protect users' privacy.

While Captain America: Brave New World was just straight up trash, Thunderbolts* is a very enjoyable movie. 7,5/10

BRAVE: Brain-Controlled Prosthetic Arm with Voice Integration and Embodied Learning for Enhanced Mobility
Non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have the potential to enable intuitive control of prosthetic limbs for individuals with upper limb amputations. However, existing EEG-based control systems face challenges related to signal noise, classification accuracy, and real-time adaptability. In this work, we present BRAVE, a hybrid EEG and voice-controlled prosthetic system that integrates ensemble learning-based EEG classification with a human-in-the-loop (HITL) correction framework for enh…

I’ve generally disliked South Park — not because it is rude and raunchy, but because it made it seem like being a cynical asshole is somehow brave and countercultural. It made the case that it’s OK to be carelessly hurtful as long as you hurt •everyone•. It tried to make a virtue out of disaffection. Its compulsion never to be caught actually •caring• about anything or anyone robbed it of its capacity to have insights or a moral center. It flirted with satire, but always ended up just being trolling.
But who knows? It feels like trolling the fascists might be what we need right now. Maybe the show finally has its moment.

Okay, so that install went well. Except for that darn Dank stuff. But I'll ask Jay about that, waybar is fine for now.

Yeah, there seems no way to argue that the EU deal was bad. At a time when Trump was weakened, given the EU market size, there was really no excuse for this. The EU is normally good at trade deals, but this was bad.
Hopefully, someone is brave enough to block it.

Web devs have spent decades on secure protocols to ensure your browser isn't a free pass for malicious pages to scrape your email and bank account. AI just broke them.

@… Luttig going after Roberts is quite amazing and brave, but Luttig is right.

Collusion Resistant DNS With Private Information Retrieval
There has been a growing interest in Internet user privacy, demonstrated by the popularity of privacy-preserving products such as Telegram and Brave, and the widespread adoption of HTTPS. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a key component of Internet-based communication and its privacy has been neglected for years. Recently, DNS over HTTPS (DoH) has improved the situation by fixing the issue of in-path middleboxes. Further progress has been made with proxy-based solutions such as Oblivious DoH (OD…

Today is the day before I write my weekly newsletter, so of course Brave chooses today to roll out an update that obliterates all of my open tabs by combining "redundant" "inactive" ones. And then automatically opts every user into this feature.
I had a few Mastodon tabs open, now they are just one tab that points to mastodon.social.
So, uhh...anyone write anything good on #Product

Sandra Bullock - "Das Netz" (1995)
Es gab mal eine Zeit, da war „Cyberspace“ noch kein slicker Marketingbegriff, sondern eine ziemlich apokalyptische Landschaft aus grünem Code, LAN-Kabeln und knarzenden, piependen Modems. 1995 war die Angst noch frisch – und Hollywood gierig danach. "Hackers" war bunt und anarchisch, "Sneakers" charmant-paranoid, und dann kam "Das Netz": der brave, etwas niedliche Cor

As hungry wolves fall upon the flock,

Are bathed in the blood of the Roman...

Today I finally remembered the syntax to delete a remote git branch: `git push origin --delete 42_not_needed_branch` (and was brave enought to just execute it without checking, yolo)

Politics, racism
When another person decides to use the genocide of Moscow or Israel to justify racism, you should really ask them if they also want to be judged by the politicians from their country. Especially if these politicians were actually selected in free elections.
It's easy to be a smartass. Yet I know that if I lived in totalitarian regime, I doubt I'd be brave enough to speak up publicly.

I considered but won't buy Chrome, mostly because I mainly use Safari, with a little bit of Brave.

Thinking of you @… while you wait, brave and undaunted, for the arrival of The Plumber. Seriously darling, it will be worth the trauma to get it finally fixed. You may sigh with relief as much as you wish and crumple a little after it's over but it will still be better than doing nothing about the plumbing problems. 🫶

First KDE 6.4.4 feedback on FreeBSD:
All running pretty smoothly afaic. Memory usage a bit high, but my guess that's bcs of the startup of a linux jail (I'm playing with installing Brave, which I did). Possibly I let go of that and stick to Librewolf, installed from the repos already.
