Love to see it. I've been a paying Kagi member for three years (!), and for now I trust them more than Google, but I echo the other users' concerns that to switch to this long term I'd want it to be open source.

For technical users who are in the know, yes. I would not recommend Brave to less-technical friends and family knowing that they would surely be duped by some dark patterns in Brave's UI/UX.

Even Firefox, which is the best we have currently, surprises us a few times a year with questionable decisions. Still, it's what I recommend to people.


Huge billboards all over Nairobi, Kenya for several years now as well.

Wow, do they have already that reach?

Honestly, before they started their ad campaign here, I had never heard of them. Though the product looks very mature. Could be a "small SAP" competitor.


I don't see any ads on Firefox (Android) with uBlock Origin.

That site seems horrible though. Random words in the body like reddit are hyperlinks to SEO landing pages on the same site. And there must be a better (original) source for the story than this...

Seems like this is better, or at least maybe a primary source?


It's peak content form that AI was trained on and is now writing itself.


Thanks. I didn't realize Dan Carlin was still producing new episodes. Ten years ago I was enthralled by his series on the Persian Empire and then I forgot about him.

Fall of Civilizations is excellent too.


10 years? Then you need to check Supernova in the East. He did a deep dive on why and how Japan got and went through WW2.


I was very disappointed with Supernova in the East. What started as a telling of the Pacific War from the point of view of the Japanese empire morphed into the usual "war is bad but American soldiers are heroes" that's very common for this period.

I tuned out when he spent 30 minutes describing a famous photo-op of General MacArthur going ashore to the Philippines. That is the complete opposite of the original promise of the podcast.


I saw one Warren Buffett video where the voice was Buffet's and he said "in this video I will show you...". Most videos featuring Buffet's voice are snippets from actual interviews etc, but this one threw me off. I stopped it immediately. Sigh.


Looks like a Cybertruck actually!


I was thinking a Warthog

The Apple Magic TrackPad works well on Linux, both via Bluetooth and USB-C. I used one for a few years.


Interesting. Are multi-touch gestures supported ?

(like these: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102482 )


I don't know about the magic trackpad specifically, but on my HP Elitebook I can use gestures. I'm running i3 and it doesn't support much out of the box, but I was able to configure stuff using libinput-gestures.

Right, as I read that I also thought, "Wait a sec, do they have the user's browsing data?" They should say "Your browsing data is local and we don't even have it!" instead.


Sounds fast. Does it respect `robots.txt`? My web services are not written in Rust, Zig, or Go. :)
