Brave spokesperson promoting far-right anti-LGBTQ+ extremist (lemmy.world)

@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.

Fucken props to Team Debian. As rock solid as their own OS.

He doesn't regret his actions or beliefs. He regrets being found out and getting fired.

Debian's diversity statement has been published since 2012. This guy can fuck off.

Who the hell do they think is programming their software? I just don't understand this nonsense.

They want to tell LGBTQ+ people what they should & shouldn't be allowed to do with their own software.

[–] Forester@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that technically be hardware?

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The point is that many of these open source projects are hugely supported by open source developers in the LGBTQ+ community & minorities from all over the world. It requires building diverse inclusive communities, cooperation & support for these projects & members to exist. There is absolutely no room for hate & bigotry.

Then these anti-DEI incels come along & complain about diversity telling them what their projects should & shouldn't, essentially wanting to remove the communities, cooperation & support that make these projects successful. They don't even want to contribute, but just want to complain. Then they go find some right-wing software, realize it sucks ass, then come back & complain more about why can't the software they want to use cater to their hate.

With all love and respect I work in IT you don't need to preach to the choir.

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).

I'm starting to associate the word "woke" with conservatives rather than "woke" people.

It's like they only know one word. They're Pokémon.

Wokelax, Wokeachu, Wokevee, Wokemander....

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Gotta catch some fuckin knowledge

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s like they only know one word.

I've noticed that too.

It's like they've got only one go-to insult and then it just vanishes and there's a new one. Like it was cuck just a few years back, soyboy before that... and probably way more that I'm forgetting. But it seems like they go from "I must use in every post!" to it being almost forgotten and instead they must use a new putdown is in every post. And it happens in the space of... like two or three months. It's eerie.

I'm sure "woke" will go the way of the dodo in a few years and conservatives will be calling everyone "compassi-traitors" or something.

Debian stays winning

[–] ultimate@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Mad respect to them.

[–] Vytle@lemmy.world 54 points 10 months ago

Mfw not supporting a Neo-Nazi is woke.

Flying cars; they said.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 42 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ah yes, anime girl profile pic, the one, and really only thing that unites the left and right that sets them apart from centrists.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

God Lunduke sucks so much.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Jesus Christ, man. Lunduke used to be someone I listened to. It’s so sad to see what he’s become.

And now Brave too, but I guess Brave has always been shady. Shady and shitty go hand in hand.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Influencer-industrial complex... the YT algorithm constantly pushes them to make these bad takes as it brings the clicks (and subsequently ad revenue money) and after a while they get high on their own supply.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or messaged a minor for sexual favors, like Dr. Diddlerspect.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

One day, I was browsing my YouTube subscriptions and found several Lunduke videos where the dude was screeching about woke DEI stuff, and I was like, "wtf, when did I sub to this raving chud" while reaching for the unsub button.

I probably watched some Linux video loooong ago and subscribed and thought nothing more of it.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Listening to Lunduke should be a warcrime to FOSS

[–] ProvableGecko@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Bro even web browsers are getting in on the right-wing grifter bandwagon. What a time

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 20 points 10 months ago (5 children)

God fucking damnit, Brave always seemed the most decent of the Chromiums, really why the burning hell do I now also need to find another browser? I’m still trying to kick out Proton after they cuddled up to Diaper Donnie.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 40 points 10 months ago

Brave had plenty of controversy over the years. For example, their whole-hog adoption of web3/cryptocurrency/NFT garbage.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 months ago

Why not just Chromium?

[–] exu@feditown.com 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Firefox?

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I use several different browsers for reasons, Firefox being my favourite by far. It’s a great suggestion, just not for me anymore.

[–] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago

Librewolf? Zen browser?

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If I need a Chromium, I feel like Vivaldi has their heart in the right place.

Sadly, the WebSerial stuff didn't work when I tried it recently.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

It’s on my test list too now, appreciated

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Try Cromite it's awesome

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot.

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Of course it's the anime pb

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

So that means I still won't use Brave, got it. Except now because I'm boycotting it, not because Chrome sucks.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, Mr."Linux Sucks" Bryan Lunduke

AKA the Asmongold of Linux content-creators

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Nazi upset people are leaving a Nazi platform.

Nobody is obligated to listen to your bullshit.

Is that John Hodgman?
