I haven’t seen many public diatribes against Kagi, but the ones I have seem to be like this person. They complain very publicly based on their perception of Vlad, spend their days in Discord fomenting drama (which seems like something only children should be doing) and are so fragile that they think getting measured emails from someone they went after publicly is a form of harrassment. It’s absurd.

I can only hope this was written by a teenager, otherwise it’s a pretty rough way to live as an adult.

Yeah, like it could mean they’ll become furries.

The link just goes to a comment that links to a screenshot of Discord where someone complains vaguely about moderation to the CEO. I wouldn’t exactly call that evidence. More harboring a personal grudge

The starter tier is only $5/month for 300 searches, which is more than enough for your average user.

I can get not wanting to pay for search, but I wouldn’t call $5 “very pricey”. In fact, I’d be so bold as to call it reasonable.

You’re being bottlenecked by that CPU big time.

Did you just equate turning living organisms into a monitor with arranging rocks?

It’s crazy that people believe ideas can be owned.

And unfortunately many of those still operate as for-profit companies and extract wealth via administrative fees and executive salaries.

Oh no, the buffoons who mismanaged the company so badly that scores of people are laid off have to be fired! Now who will fuck things up while making off with tons of cash?

Deezer has a smaller catalog, as far as I’m aware. Tried switching, but it’s hard when I have 700 liked songs on Spotify and only a fraction available on Deezer. Liked everything else about them though.

Nobody needs YouTube videos nor is anyone compelled to make them. I’m guessing you don’t remember when YouTube was completely free and people just made videos for fun?

Now people quit jobs that support them to do something fun and try to make monry off that. Which is fine, but we’re not required to support their hobby. Stop acting like people have no other option in their life except to make reaction videos, video essays, meme compilations, etc.

Shit, I didn’t realize the only way some people can eat is by making Youtube videos.

Asking the question here allows a conversation to happen, informs others that SearXNG is a thing and provides additional context.

If everyone just looked everything up on their own, there wouldn’t be much of a forum here for you to go and wag your finger at people asking questions.

If you want more reasons about why allowing people to ask questions is beneficial for the health of a community, you can go google it.

No, you love it.

Where did corps get the idea that we want our software to be incredibly condescending?

Imagine it in five years when the modding scene has popped off though. It could truly be something spectacular. Which is frankly the only saving grace of Bethesda games. They’re a solid sandbox/framework for others to fill in.

This is a nice sentiment, but it falls apart when you realize that a lot of the exploration is procedurally generated POI that eventually copies not just assets, but layouts and granular details. That tends to detract from a sense of wonder and mystery.

Which is fine, if they would just embrace that instead of trying to change how people perceive their work.

You might want to add the proper context that the servers were siezed by authorities (so not stolen) and they were very transparent about the fact that it was a legacy system. They also followed with a plan to rectify, including third part audits. Every organization makes mistakes, it’s how they respond that matters.

If you’re looking for a VPN provider that hasn’t had issues ever in their history, good luck. You’ll just end up with the ones who lie and cover up incidents.

You can add Windscribe to that list. They’ve been shown to respect customers and offer port forwarding.

I will sing the praises of Windscribe until the day I die. Privacy respecting, affordable and great customer service. And yes, they offer port forwarding as well.
