I remember reading this news article about people trying to get oil out of Iran and they were doing it by dumping it into this concrete-lined hole and the explanation was that there's a pipe running between the hole across the border to I guess another team who receives the oil.. so it looks like you're just dumping oil into the desert.

    Fun fact did you know that most French speakers are not French themselves?

    The average French speaker is from one of France's old African colonies.

    Imagine losing your national identity to the people you oppressed and they don't care about having it.

    That's just a psyop, NASA and the CIA were hiding some of the world's leading stable diffusion models for the time in a secret underground Data center somewhere in the Nevada desert.

    I've watched all the YouTube videos and tiktoks about the spice and the guild navigators.. basically they're what exists instead of decision making computers.

    But what do they actually do to operate the ship? Like they looked and saw some shit and now they have to do something about it.

    Does the navigator have buttons and levers to configure the drive? Do they just speak words to some sort of helmsman about how to steer? Do they write out instructions? Is there some sort of telepathy or telekinesis the navigator does with the hardware?

    Whenever I Google it I just find articles and videos about spice. What about SOP?

    I use manjaro linux and I installed brave using the AUR repo. I keep hearing stories about how Brave is just another ad tracking software like Chrome. What I don't understand is why, like specifically.

    Because I downloaded Brave from here. The code for Brave is here. I can build and install Brave and it will be the same as from AUR right?

    Ok let me list my questions:

    1. If the sourcecode for Brave is open and is all I need to compile and run the software then where's the tracker. The code base is honestly to big and high level for me and my professional abilities but I'm not that great of a programmer, I'm just really good. If there are ad trackers or adblock-blockers then I should beable to see it in the code right? I just need help actually seeing these lines of code.
    2. I've used wireshark to monitor Brave in isolation and I couldn't see traffic that I would disapprove of. It is also very realistic that I just don't know how to recognize.
    3. Just because Google maintains chromium doesn't mean that chromium browsers have to track you. Chromium is opensource and it shouldn't cost much to comment out trackers. So wasn't this already done? And if not can we actually see the lines of code that track us?

    Really what I'm looking for is help coming to the conclusion that these browsers are that bad for me myself.
