Count me in!
Bonsoir

On dépense plus du tiers de ça pour créer 300 et quelques emplois dans une usine à batteries. Pensez aux emplois qu'on maintiendrait en nourrissant un million d'élèves...
C'est bon, je l'appelle tout de suite.
People who's parent weren't married when they were born when I throw an hydrogen bomb at them :
A professor at my school was known to sell his own books as mandatory material to pass his class, with exams aimed more at the content of the book than the actual content seen in class.
Two years ago, his last book released with a digital version only. He put it on a platform full of DRMs and is now renting it to students. Like, you pay it for one semester through an online shop, and then you lose access to it. He was apparently also checking during the exams that everybody had a legal version on their computers.
I honestly can't understand why it's legal and authorized.
They wouldn't be among the biggest and richest corporations in the world if that was the case.
I might be too american, but I'm more concerned about leaving a bike outside unlocked without a fear to have it stolen. How does that work?
I opted out and I still see ads. That's the problem.
If you use Brave News (to display a RSS feed), you get "news" about Brave's functionnalities. They appear as any other widget in your feed, but are marked as "Advertisement" on the upper right corner. Here is an example from my feed : https://imgur.com/a/RJV2Px2 .
Looks like it's not the case anymore, but when I opened a new tab, some time ago, I used to get ads from Binance or other cryptocurrencies exchanges displayed as "cards" on the right of the window. Right now, I only get "cards" showing about "Brave Talks" or rewards, but it used to be advertisement about other products, such as Binance or other cryptocurrency company.
I can't reproduce it right now, but some "new tab" backgrounds are (or were) also advertisement for crypto-related products.
There was also a controversy some time ago where they were injecting their own referral link when you typed a cryptocurrency exchange's URL on the search bar : https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/07/brave-browser-caught-adding-its-own-referral-codes-to-some-cryptcurrency-trading-sites/ . They stopped after it got viral.
At least they are tagging their ads as such, but it's weird how you can't block any of it when they decide it's there.
That was during the cleaning and reconfiguration of their cage. No need to worry :)
