I installed Brave earlier this week and that's mostly true. There's some built in stuff that will show by default, notably the toolbar buttons and the notification style alert on the new tab page for one of those things mentioned, but you can just close the notification and remove the toolbar buttons and you're set.

That said, I think it's still in the data monetization market like Alphabet with anonymized tokens, though I don't remember the details.

Might I suggest No Nag November as an alternative?

Some religions, for example Mormonism, picked up a taboo of coffee and tea alongside other abolitionist sentiments popular at the time, with similar reasoning to alcohol - caffeine is a psychoactive drug, so it's not "pure." Mormonism was founded when early puritanical and evangelical Christian movements grew rapidly in the US, and you'll see a similar taboo among other Christian sects originating in this time period.

Yoga probably has the same taboo in American Christianity as Dungeons and Dragons once did during the satanic scare era, and that taboo is likely only due to the link to spiritualist practices in yoga. To the brainwashed evangelical, since it's not Christianity, it's Satan.

Edit: a few words added for clarity

Seems to still be called Vortex, it's just a cross platform version.

I don't think you even read the summary in the OP that describes exactly what this feature does. This is a feature for users for their owned devices. You can remotely install apps already. Now you can do the opposite.

Isn't that a chisel? Edit: Nope, definitely a brush. For whatever reason it's just got the top cropped off of the original in this image.

He is the Lorax. He speaks for the trees.

Funnily enough, I remember reading that many of the people who claimed to have seen the golden plates, when pressed, said they witnessed them "spiritually", not physically.

Wait, so you think the phrase "shrewd business practices" is negative?

I have to tell you, there's plenty of farmed land on the entire west coast this map does not depict. Less than half of the areas labeled timberlands are forested, as a generous estimate.

Edit: as the comments under this state, I just didn't understand what was being represented and how.

Man really made a Lemmy account to complain about the left scapegoat all day.

So they should buy a generic brand bottle that's unbranded instead? Because that's more personality?

On any good bottle you have room for stickers if you truly feel the need to express yourself through your water storage container of choice. This one too.
