Note: the comments have alerted me to the fact that the Brave CEO sucks, mindful consumers stay wary

I found out about these guys thanks to this meme from a friend

You're spewing "luddism" like every techbro in silicon valley who has never read history whatsoever. Luddites smashed up machines because they were starved, not out of any irrational hate towards technology. If AI threatened your job, art, privacy while centralising into the hands of a handful of massive corporations. Calling that luddism is just lazy deflection. As if opposition to control over culture and labour by ultra mega billionaires is backwards. You're defending a system where tech means wealth for mega-rich, wealth for the very few and no progress what's for the majority.
Stop parroting bourgeoisie takes like you're in a TED talk. The Capitalist uses AI to de-skill labour and concentrate power. You're celebrating shit you have no say in or control, built to make your life replaceable by a slop machine. A bootlicker.

Ban on conversion practices in the European Union

"Objectives :

We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union:

Conversion Practices are interventions aimed at changing, repressing or suppressing the sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression of LGBTQ+ persons.

Such practices, due to their discriminatory, degrading, harmful and fraudulent nature have been qualified as torture by the United Nations, and are currently being banned in a growing number of States.

The EU plays a key role in the protection of fundamental rights and should take actions to fight against all inhuman practices. The Commission should propose a directive adding conversion practices to the list of euro-crimes and/or amend the ongoing directive on equality (2008) to include a ban on these practices.

Furthermore, to fight against the legislative moratorium, the Commission should also enforce a non-binding resolution calling for a widespread ban of conversion practices in the EU.

Finally, we call on the Commission to amend the Victims’ Rights Directive to establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of conversion practices.

All member states should introduce a ban on conversion practices or review their current ones."

TIL that when cars were new, hitting a pedestrian was a serious matter called a *motor killing*. As it happened more as there were more cars and more crashes, Car Manufacturers hired public relations spin doctors to invent the word Jaywalker to shift fault to pedestrians for getting hurt and dying.

Back half of this fact is still true but the first bit is a touch misleading; killing someone with a car in the US is still considered manslaughter, a very serious matter as well.
