None of my friends in the United States would say such things either. Must be some really whack friends.

In response to the first article: The whole point of brave was privacy-respecting ads, which is something I can get behind. The article doesn’t mention much in terms of how they are selling data that is connected to you. Adding affiliate links to the url–not a great idea but also not a huge offense to me. I see very little substance to critique this part of Brave in the article.

The rest of the article is about associations Brave has with other “bad” people and “bad” things. These are not real arguments for why the actual software is not good. Saying Brave promoted FTX doesn’t really mean that Brave is evil. Not everyone knew what was going on there. Again, I don’t see much substantive critique of Brave on this front.

For the second article: I very much don’t like it when software decides to install other software that I’m not aware of. Big mistake for Brave.

Oh I see—what sketchy shit have they been doing?

Oh, what’s the deal with Brave? I’ve been pretty impressed with it, but I suppose I’m not familiar with the privacy isuses.

This is my take as well.

I had no idea! I’m not sure how if I want RSS with lemmy/kbin. I might not want the noise in the RSS feed, you know? Just highly curated interesting stuff.

This is obvious and not at all in the spirit of what I’m asking. Again, some helpful users here have provided some tools that sort specifically blogs by category so that I can quickly find one that aligns with my interests.

Of course we all stumble upon things organically–that’s great and that’s how every normal person finds some great things. I was looking for some help beyond the obvious.

The idea of my question is to ask how one goes about this discovery of finding these interesting blogs.

There is a way to remove duplicate articles on Inoreader, but it’s a premium feature. I don’t really want to pay for something so simple as RSS, so I just, unfortunately, resign myself to deal with it.

My question was not to ask for you to find something that’s interesting to me. My question was to ask how do you personally go about finding interesting (to you) RSS feeds. Tools or methods was what I was looking for. For example, see @redshift@lemmy.ml and their reply to this post.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

Inoreader has been great. There is a premium tier but I’ve never actually needed it. Nice, polished, professional, and perfect transition between iOS and the web interface.
