Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Brave browser can block all third party cookies and delete the ones from any website you close all tabs from if you don't want the cookies from those sites to be saved
It’s always funny seeing the huge disconnect between Lemmy and Reddit on this one specific topic. On Reddit, Brave’s marketing was wildly successful. If you say anything negative about it, you’ll almost immediately be buried in downvotes. But here, it is known as a conservative cryptobro grift, so mentioning anything positive about it gets you attacked.
I always assume the Brave proponents on Lemmy are recent Reddit transplants.
the moment that Brave stops working well is the moment I stop praising it.
unlike chrome and firefox, it's easy to turn off the crap in brave, the options to turn those things off are right in plain sight and easy to figure out
I'm not so sure how politics got into a web browser with integrated adblocking though. Supposedly the creator of Brave was fired from mozilla for being a bigot. But no one who says that has ever been able to tell me what he said that was so horrible that he had to be fired. Which leads me to believe it's either a flat out lie that didn't happen at all or it was blown out of proportion
on top of that, Google's war on adblockers is more than just blocking you from accessing youtube, there's also lots of google-funded propaganda about the makers of adblocking software and the software its self. But it's not just google funding that kind of propaganda it's all the other malware companies funding it too.
what do I mean by "malware companies"? all online advertising is malware and blocking it should be considered part of any security setup
Yeah but then you have to run Brave browser 🤢
I'm sure the same can be accomplished on Firefox-based browsers with an extension or two
Yeah, third-party cookies are blocked by default and the remaining cookies can be automatically deleted with Cookie AutoDelete.
Brave is cryptofasch bullshit. Do not use it.
Brave Browser's CEO is an anti LGBT+ bigot.
Use Firefox with Ublock Origin instead.
what did he say that makes you think that? Do you even know what he said? or are you going to be yet another person who has said that to me who never answers that question?
He donated to groups that opposed Prop 8. The whole reason why Brave Browser exists to begin with is because he was kicked out of Mozilla for his views. The entire browser is built on bigotry.
Don't make me do your work for you; this is widely available information. There's this thing, called a "search engine", that allows you to search the web for entertainment, news, and information. Give it a try sometime. Here's a link: https://duckduckgo.com/
All you gave me was a link to the front page of duckduckgo And by the way, duckduckgo broke their promise not to tailor results several years ago and still tailors results now
Here's what proton Lumo could find about the allegation you just brought up with no evidence
There’s no record of Eich (or Brave Software) making a monetary donation to a third‑party organization specifically to promote or fund Brave. Instead, Brave’s growth has been financed primarily through:
Venture funding and private investment – early rounds led by investors such as Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, and others. Revenue from the Brave Rewards program – a portion of the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ecosystem that shares ad revenue with users and publishers. Partnerships and affiliate programs – e.g., collaborations with nonprofits like Japan’s “Code for Everyone” (Minna no Code) where users can direct BAT earnings to the cause, but these are partnerships, not donations from Eich himself. So, while Eich did donate $1,000 to Prop 8, that contribution was unrelated to Brave and did not serve to support the browser’s development or promotion. The browser’s financing comes from venture capital, its own ad‑revenue model, and strategic partnerships rather than personal charitable donations from its creator.
So he donated to a group that also supported prop 8. To be perfectly clear, I don't think any marriage sanctions by the government needs to be a thing. If you want to be committed to someone or even more than one person, as long as you're all consenting adults and you're all keeping the sexual things you do with each other private and out of sight of anyone who doesn't want to see it, you do you
You're insane if you think I'm reading that wall of text. Did you remember to take your medication today? I already told you that I'm not going to do your homework for you.
Use the browser if you want, or don't. You don't have to justify yourself to me; I couldn't care any less.
Best wishes to you, friend. ✌️
