Since my spleen is now compromised (diseases that are progressive are a cascade) I cannot fly again. Ever. Unless private jet, doctor, nurse and a full isolation suite, blood and bone marrow products, and oxygen. Trains, ships and autos are great. Altitude is no longer my friend.

To me, creating content and offering it freely, by donation, or via a content model like brave offers opens opportunity for anyone with some skills and motivation to contribute despite significant limitations on ability to work remotely and as energy and health allow. Love that.

As a person who crowdfunded for life-extension therapies for a rare and deadly bone marrow condition that has kept me living longer and better but cost me my retirement, home, and debt (treatment with insurance cost us half a million dollars. I prefer to give and taking was hard.

If Brave's content model was only open to profit-based advertisers I'd call b.s. But it isn't. It is for anyone. And, BAT is considered a utility token first as despite using ETH it is first a means to support anyone's content. The caveat is to gain BAT users have to use Brave.

@hober I am very interested in your bio quote "engine diversity absolutist" as it is so semantically layered I want to know more. I absolutely want diverse engines again. Once thought "one open source engine could solve interop" and now see how naive I was/am/can be!

I was just writing about Jeremy being one of the world's and our industry's consummate moderators, speakers, teachers. Such a talent and it is not surprising to me he got the joke. He's got the Irish twinkle in those eyes alrighty! :D

You can share it just with me if you feel comfy. It's not a relevant issue for me personally. You are a joy and gift and have always made me laugh. You take me as I am, I take you as you are. That's human: kind. Your choice, your comfort. I'm curious as hell though lol!

Thanks Yan. I appreciate your work, ideas and team. Some real power there. Persistence in browser dev matters. Giving up new and disruptive ideas is not conducive to evolution in technology or society. The scientific method is not useful for future vision. Iteration and scale is.
In the book of me, Van Halen wasn't after David Lee Roth. I rocked hard as listener and player and no earplugs. My hearing is not as good as it used to be, but no different than general family age-related hearing loss. I now will share the earworm you just gave me: "Good Times"
It is controversial. It smells nicer to me than browsers attaching to Google, MS or Apple. Worse: Ads from social network sites! To me, it's a fist in the face of conventional ads. I think people misunderstand the point as well as the content model or Basic Attention Token (BAT).
I am perplexed by Brave. I think that substituting ads is a way to highkjack revenue from the content sites who attract more advertisement money to Brave's customers.
This does not smell good to me.

Thank you Sampson! This does make sense for QA etc. And, consistency promotes safer feature scaling. I appreciate the work you all are doing. I actually yelped out loud seeing Mark Pilgrim on the team having interacted for decades largely around Web Standards Project (WaSP), etc.
The rendering engine is still Blink. I believe our Tor integration exclusively networking/protocol. cc @bcrypt @flamsmark

Sadly, @TorProject let folks go but it will live on. For those who have never tried Tor as a browser whether on TCP/IP or Onion I'd say check it out just to see. Also, .onion ain't slow like it was. And no, it's not illegal to use legal sites with Tor and Onion. Learn boundaries!

Biggest gripe about a career of #web largely as a policy and advocate along with the utter joy of F2F interaction with incredible, lovely, brilliant people who teach me more than I ever can teach others is it's always gotta be one choice. HTML5 or XHTML 2.0? Why not "yes to all?"

I think my growing fondness for @brave and @TorProject are precisely because they are easy to use for what I care most about as a user and #web idealist: #content. I appreciate apps and creativity. Esthetics. Social exchange. But I would prefer if the #SemanticWeb lived on too.

The two browsers of personal interest for me right now are @Brave and @TorProject. Security. Lockdown. HTTPS always. Now Brave supports #Tor. I do have a question as to whether that is using #Brave's #Chromium engine or if there's a trick using Tor's hybridized rendering engine?

Since I see what is referred to as "#WebStandards" and #OpenWeb x specs n' recs as first for what they are #BROWSER (user agent) technology. To understand this is extremely empowering for all #WebDev and folks in related fields, no matter the #process approach. #FridayThoughts
Small world! Joan's mom raised a heck of a daughter!
Jett smashed her fist right in the face of that unpleasant but accurate term of the early 80s "cock rock" scene. That took courage (dare I quip 'balls'?) :D

My friend TJ referred to me as Joan Jett with red hair. Funny cuz true! I've also been dubbed the Patti Smith of the Web, which is most in step with my .alt leanings, but Joan is rock n' roll awesome. I now has earworm! I'm passing it along. As you do! 🎸 youtube.com/ZQh6heYYOU0
