Simplewall allows direct control of internet access of any program and app; you can block CoPilot from accessing the internet.
In this thread something I see a lot on lemmy is happening. Maybe someone can give me a hint on how that happens. The post itself is 90% upvotes, while the comment section is really anti-Brave (for good reasons). Do most upvotes come from people scrolling through without looking at the comment section and those with an opinion on the topic dive into it?
The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.
To me the karma system is about quality. Not an "I agree/disagree" button.
For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

I think you should not downvote a post you have a negative opinion about. If the post is worth to discuss then why should I not upvote the post and then say that I disagree in the comments. If we all down vote those posts nobody will see it (apart of those who sort by controversial) and there will be no discussion.

yeah, no, i'm not using your shitty browser.
But it’s funded by an unrepentant homophobe! How can you pass on that?!
An unrepentant homophobe who accused people who dislike him for his homophobic views/actions as being closed-minded and bigoted for disliking him over it.
You can't make this shit up

Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.

They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

Brave's CEO is a homophobic Trump supporter. No thanks.
That’s not even the worst thing about him. He also invented JavaScript.
That's it, brave is getting uninstalled from my PC NOW.

Just avoid using an “AI” cpu.
All I have to say is I hope this catches on with other browsers.
