True Blue

I’m going off memory. Pretty glad that never took off, even if what we were left with was Javascript…

I forgot where I heard this, but at one point around the same time, Microsoft was trying to get BASIC embedded into webpages for Internet Explorer as a competitor to JavaScript.

Would the internet really be better with BASIC?

Not trying to be defeatist, but I feel pretty confident that this stuff will be forcibly or “accidentally” removed soon before the canvas stops being editable, or it will just be edited after the fact. The admins have the power to simply wipe away anything on the canvas that they don’t like.

I second the recommendation. I know a lot of people don’t like the browser (although I find that a lot of that dislike comes somewhat misleading rumors or stories) but the search engine really doesn’t have anything to do with the browser except that it’s by the same company. I often switch between it and Duck Duck Go, and I don’t use Brave browser.

There’s many different reasons (all of them ignorant or blatantly made in bad faith) but one that I recall off the top of my head is that, since Linux gives users more freedom and more control over their operating system and computer, playing on Linux makes it easier for you to cheat in games. They like that in Windows, there’s parts of the system that Microsoft simply doesn’t allow users to touch, because in some cases, they still can, so they can use that to implement things like rootkits sorry I mean “kernel-level anti-cheat” that users have no effective way of removing or bypassing.

Why fight so hard to stay on a platform that clearly doesn’t want you anymore?

He said brave search. It has an independent index, so that’s a pretty notable difference from something like Duckduckgo which IIRC uses Bing under the hood. The googles features is also a really cool idea! I just wish there was a way to make private googles for just yourself.
