It’s the open source version of Adobe Lightroom.

Nope. I wouldn’t nitpick this situation or that.
That one time I tried it, I realized that when I click away from the tab I don’t care if see the video anymore. Listening to the audio is all I want in that moment.

Picture-in-Picture: auto-open on tab switch is totally annoying.
I also tested it once, and turned it back off immediately.

A search index isn’t a public facing search engine or service.
They’re building a common database for them to both use, as well as others.

So trying to beat Brave or any other search provider, isn’t the goal of this project.
It’s about creating a new index, Brave, or Bing, or other search providers could use if they wanted.

There are no other RCS clients, just Google Messages.

I’m fully aware, and disagree.
Someone else called it a Slippery Slope. That’s closer, but still not quite right.
It’s actually Reductio ad Absurdum.
Which is a useful thought exorcise when analyzing many ideas.

Is it?
Are you saying you would support bad people under the right circumstances?

It’s your idea.
All I did is assume all good people agree with you.

Do you think they’d stop being bad people if they couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

Do you feel better knowing they aren’t getting your money? Even at the cost of them ever doing anything good for anyone?

Is it harm reduction if all the bad people couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were living on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

I’m sure a few bad people make a living maintaining it, and all the roads you depend on everyday.

Bad people are everywhere, doing all sorts of jobs you appreciate.

It sounds like you’re arguing that bad people shouldn’t be paid to anything good.

Sometimes terrible people can do good things.
Those good things should be supported.
Judge a project on it own merits.

People still use the Autobahn.

That article was far more clear than their own. “Joining Forces” as they called it, could mean almost anything. But “Acquiring” Standard Notes to add to their services actually explains what’s happening.

If it follows the SimpleLogin acquisition as they implied, it’ll still be a separately branded product that’s added to a Proton Ultimate subscription. So that’s cool.

It’s not just a meta search. They do have their own index. And Brave is only one of a dozen-ish external index’s they also use.
