  • I guess the current situation could be better if Opera and Brave coordinated among themselves a shared codebase for a patch that would allow both of them to keep v2 working. The thing is that Brave most likely doesn’t actually care, they’ve a built in adblocker so if v2 goes away then their marketshare will increase. Opera can’t do it alone because, well it is the Opera Chinese owned company after all.

    I was really hopping that Microsoft would take on this, think about it, from a strategic PoV if Edge kept v2 and advertised it they could just snatch a big chunk of users from Google.










  • I never said they deserved death. I said it doesn’t make sense to push a minority into it like that.

    I also said later on that this would’ve ended very differently if this same live performance happened in an Islamic country. I said that to point out that in organizations like IOC act like they can do whatever they want push whatever narrative they like more in Europe, US and other places but then when they do stuff in Islamic suddenly they change their tone. Why the double standards? Why do they believe they can obliterate all religious symbols and push for minorities in the western world but they don’t do the same elsewhere?

    Even worse, why would we allow that in the western world? Note that I’m not saying Islamist are right when killing those people because of their ideologies is correct, I’m just saying the IOC and other organizations should respect the majority of people, religions and culture in the western world and act accordingly. I find it really hard to believe that there isn’t a single sane person in the IOC that could’ve just said "no you aren’t going to recreate the The Last Supper with drag queens, that makes no sense in a place where Christians are the majority and drag queens are a minority.











  • I am, but the IOC people aren’t for sure. Why would you choose a minority like that doing a performance like that one for the “ceremony”? Since when does it represent anyone besides the said minority? Why would you allow a minority to mock an entire religion that for better or worse is the largest religion in Europe? Makes no sense whatsoever.

    Bottom line is: those in power keep pushing these bullshits and then regular, normal people otherwise tolerant and open to minorities and different ideas start to be radicalized - after all everyone has a limit on mockery against their culture.
