Can you use the brave search engine from other browsers? (Is it a proxy for any other search engine?)

I'm expecting a negative, but a fella can dream.

Full disclosure: currently using StartPage and reasonably happy. StartPage is a proxy for Google as far as I can tell, although I've seen people say (on Reddit) it refers to Bing too.

I hear that! Toastmasters was part of my conversation long after it would have been helpful!

Good luck.

There is a truism. Will have to come back and give the original quotation author, but it's

"Only poor people pay taxes."

Rich people have the resources to evade and skirt around any tax legislation which they are supposed to be captured within. Most of them use the corporation as holders of wealth of which they have control.

Corporate taxes are almost always lower than personal taxes for that reason.

Banning billionaires is as likely to succeed as veganism.

About to reopen a matrix account. Mostly for tech support.

Didn't really like Twitter, Mastodon holds no interest really.

I do like Lemmy a lot but mostly awaiting a search engine and the rest of the Reddit subs moving over.

Maybe there's room for a fediverse fb in my life but I don't see the world moving over anytime soon. I loathe fb but find some of the groups too useful to leave.

The West has lost the 'war on drugs', whatever that means.

The only way out is to regulate (and therefore tax) them. Cannabis is the gateway drug (pun intended).

I'm old and tried something mild ish when I young. It didn't really do much for me so I never went down that path. I don't even drink more than a unit a fortnight, usually I'm driving and I only drink socially. Just don't fancy it much anymore.

As far as I'm concerned, the benefits of living today are mainly being funneled to an elite. Taxes were mostly levied on companies and have become taxes levied on the individual, with companies not really paying tax at all. People are struggling to hold it together. Drugs represent escapism pending some kind of revolution.

I'm one of 'Thatcher's children' - A Gen X watching young people today giving up. If you had told me last century that I would have written such a thing today, I would have punched you.

I believe that the move left of the politics of today represents the population asking for help.

Logseq. Tried all sorts. From vim to codium. Just Logseq.

Gen X; took uni notes on paper. Searching paper notes sucks. My hand-writing always sucked. Gen Z has Logseq. Why wouldn't you?

It's not really about the cost but the initial outlay. I don't want to pay out that kind of money for a test. Not that I don't believe you etc etc.

TBF I haven't been to the OEM website to see if I can get a tester! So almost definitely my bad.

Thank-you again. Struggling to get stuff done atm so hopefully get back soon.

That's an underrated comment. Thank-you.

Great idea. Need to evolve from the mess that was searching Reddit.
