really “normie” is a normie term now, ever since Wednesday on Netflix became a pop culture phenomenon. I’ve heard people in real life use this term

just so you know, Mozilla vpn is just a repackaged mullvad vpn, they’re partnered
good to hear. dodi just officially denied the accusations as well:
although he claims integritycheck.exe is a windows process, when clearly it is also the name of that miner I linked above
my guess is the dodi account on torrent galaxy, although verified, could be a fake and is putting in these viruses, or maybe the people commenting saying they got the virus from dodi actually got it from that hogwarts legacy crack which originally had this miner.
either way, I always hope the community will take these sorts of claims seriously and investigate to ensure everyone’s safety
it’s not a false positive people are finding. it’s a bitcoin miner called integritycheck.exe
it seems like half the people I see who downloaded it say they got a tojan, and half didn’t. Could it possibly be triggering only for certain people? perhaps if their specs are good enough for bitcoin mining or not? or maybe just at random? just spitballing here
There are claims from comments on torrent galaxy that dodis release has the same bitcoin miner:

I hope someone can get to the bottom of this
for real though… as an American I would love if we were 11 years behind the EU in lots of other areas
people usually look where they are going
agreed. imo YouTube has one of the best algorithms out of any social media site. maybe it’s just because I’ve had an account for over 10 years, but it always suggests great videos
yeah I agree. I’ve noticed a real decline in quality too. I think it’s because the entire site is just bots reposting old content and bots commenting old comments
it was a little over the top, but it was at least kind of cool.

the show really jumped the shark for me with the nasa terrorist attack and Ed making that impossible landing which all the scientists said was impossible
also I hated that they introduced that Russian guy that got Ed’s daughter pregnant only to kill him off. it just seems like they started going for shock value at some point

It shows people that it’s not just trans people at risk due to this violent rhetoric the right spews. Everyone is at risk of being targeted even if they are perceived as trans.
I’m a cis man, but I don’t have the deepest voice, and I’ve been worried about this kind of thing happening for a while since I live in the south, and it looks like I was right to worry.
Brave had a thing where if you went to website.com, they would add /ref=brave to the URL so they get a kickback as if you clicked on their referral link.
Sneaky? Sure. A huge scandal? I don’t think so. No user data was being collected, no privacy was being violated. If I was the company doing the referral system I’d be mad, but as a user, it does not affect me at all.
Firefox fanatics just need something to point to and say “brave bad firefox good” and that is the worst thing they can find on Brave. It’s all browser wars to them, like iPhone vs Android or Xbox vs Playstation.
The article in this post also does not affect users in anyway, and has been updated after Brave responded, with most of the worst claims of the article now retracted.
Every single one of these Brave “scandals” are so irrelevant and meaningless. I was hoping the reddit hive mind wouldn’t be brought over to lemmy, but here we are.
This article, especially after the update from Brave, seems like a huge nothing-burger. Just another excuse for the Firefox Fanatics crowd to rag on Brave and circlejerk each other about how good Firefox is.
The article isn’t even about Brave Browser, and it has nothing to do with user data. The website owner is mad that Brave Search is crawling their site and using data in their “Summarizer” feature. I thought Firefox users were supposed to be against the Google internet monopoly, but apparently when it comes to one of the only companies with their own independent and actually decent search engine, they don’t seem to care anymore because of stupid “Firefox good brave bad” browser wars nonsense.
is this thread really 2 years old?
tech people get annoyed at the weirdest shit…
Well in my experience, Firefox is definitely slower, and it is immediately apparent that it is much jankier than Chrome. And as the many posts I linked above show, I am not the only one with this experience.
Also it’s hilarious how I give a source and now the goal posts are moved and the benchmarks are “synthetic”
CPU and GPU benchmarks are also “synthetic” but they still show actual differences between what is being tested.
Qualitatively and quantitatively, Firefox is slower.
These issues are posted about about all the time:

And everyone wonders why Firefox has less than a 3% market share
