@brianmaggi @tyahma @Sr_Lazarus @alexlash @VTSilver @MrKamp We just published a new issue of In Formation magazine after a hiatus of 25 years. In print! 160 pages of contrarian content, in a contrarian format. Turns out computers are _still_ making people easier to use. @brianmaggi @alexlash @JoshKlenert

The tagline of In Formation magazine, 1998. Unfortunately, far truer today than it was at the time. @brianmaggi @tyahma @Sr_Lazarus @alexlash @VTSilver @MrKamp

@ericsimons40 @_qudo I hadn't thought of this in a long, long time. You know, it's still awesome. Both the squatting (!) and the quote. I still can't believe they allowed it to go out as I wrote it.

Thank you for bringing a smile to my face @ericsimons40 😀 -- hope you're well!

Private advertising doesn't have to be a contradiction in terms.

BBC News - What can you use instead of Google and Facebook? "There's a growing sense that something needs to be done and Brave offers a concrete solution now," says @davidtemkin of Brave. https://t.co/zzTS4vbh4I

@J_LaCroix @brianmaggi @jeremy_wyld @colahq That’s pretty amusing — especially coupled with this feature they put out in 2018. Note the familiar wording in the app description (“endless group texts that open multiple apps that never end in a decision”).

@BlockInTheChain @msanzi_coder @BrendanEich You can disable these images without installing an extension. At the lower left of the new tab page, you'll find four icons. Click on the left icon and turn off "Show background images".

We just launched Brave 1.0 — a web browser that protects your privacy, fights surveillance capitalism, and offers a better deal for users and content creators alike. Oh, and it's 3-6x faster than ordinary browsers in real-world tests. https://t.co/8s0mZVLEeV

"We want ads to respect users,” says Brave's CPO @davidtemkin in @ozy. Great piece by @MollyFosco on why big tech will need to change to regain user trust.

[David Temkin @davidtemkin]

@2D3DUXD @agentofuser @BrendanEich Sounds good. Need to line that up with the other pending / related change: “contribute monthly” top-level button on the Rewards panel.

[David Temkin @davidtemkin]

@lucasmpinelli @brave There is more detail to this. We actually do allow users to contribute to & tip unverified publishers, but now, the browser holds those tips, and retries monthly, waiting for unverified publishers to verify. After 90 days the browser stops retrying.

I recently gave a presentation at the @SOCAPmarkets conference in San Francisco on the topic "Challenging Surveillance Capitalism". It summarizes what we're up to here at @brave: https://t.co/BOlnHK13KW

I braved Reddit and did an AMA: https://t.co/f3G6P5raM9

[David Temkin @davidtemkin]

@TheTedNelson Ha. That was the tagline of In Formation magazine, circa 1998, but unfortunately far truer today.

[David Temkin @davidtemkin]

@thesolster And thank you @thesolster for naming it!
