Personally, I use Debian and gravitate towards flat paks, but I'm starting to question whether this is just one of those hills Linux users arbitrarily choose to die on a la systemd/wayland? I suppose one of the advantages of an opinionated OS is a vast array of opinions

Can you copy/paste your code so that we can take a look at it? Alternatively, if you load a tix on the Clipious GitHub, they might be able to assist.

Didn't know this, thanks for sharing!

It's such a clickbait article title that no mainstream outlets are covering. At some point it just feels like bait for Democrats

Interesting name choice

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Garmin watch? Alternatively, since the battery is on its last legs, I am probably overdue to buy a new watch if anyone has any FOSS-friendly suggestions (either out the box or after disabling certain sync functionality outside of my local lan)

This happens across all diasporas. I'm sure MAGA-supporting African-Americans would make similarly critical posts about America. I wouldn't conflate this with the general population

They will have to live with the ramifications the longest. I suppose politics is always been that way where the least engaged suffer the most dire consequences

Maybe if they had insider information or something that led to them making a guaranteed profit. Otherwise, it's just inept speculation.

i dislike her with a passion, but I'm not sure what this 'journalism' is looking to accomplish. If it was a uncontestably large amount of money and I think this could be a worthwhile article, but given their salaries and the money that they get from donors, I am not sure what the purpose of the article is outside of trying to poke fun at someone who is making poor financial decisions and try to get them on record with exactly how much money they lost.

I enjoyed reading the article. To me, the perspective of the owner reminds me of the owners of Brave in that they are Libertarian in ways that seem aligned with mainstream views at a glance but the Venn diagram also overlaps with a disdain for regulation, while portraying a (potential) facade of being eternally infallible and trustworthy while also being a for-profit company.

Elon Musk also comes to mind in that his intelligence leaves him vulnerable to overlooking the nuances of conversations and alternative point of views. I think there's a general over reliance on artificial intelligence as a savior that will be fully embraced that will lead to large issues in the short/long term for Kagi.

Personally, it always felt a little bit like astroturfing hearing all of the kagi fanboys in every privacy thread, but for what it's worth, seeing them show up live In the flesh in this thread as well makes me feel a bit less like I'm talking to bots lol

Personally, I self-host my own version of searXng that only uses search engines that don't track my IP address. I'd say that those results are good enough 90% of the time, and when I need something more granular, I use a publicly hosted version of searXng that uses Google in its results

Did we read the same article? His responses to GDPR were very concerning, and I say that as an American.

I think the issue is that constantly virtue signaling about it online has the risk of swaying other voters or making other voters check out completely

If you think the title is hard to comprehend, try reading the actual article. I use Firefox (via floorp) but came away with the perspective that wasn't as clearcut and bad for consumers as I expected. I don't trust Google and I'm assuming that the largest negative impacts won't be evident until the product actually launches, but the arguments in the article were not very convincing

Definitely Connor from succession vibes with this one

I believe that Wi-Fi points are more accurate than towers especially when they're sharing the information with indoor retailers

I think this is the reason why Google implemented it. They already track you over Wi-Fi when you do not explicitly turn off the option, so Bluetooth is going the same route

I don't want to go conspiracy theory, but in my opinion it feels like a dark pattern to increase the time people have Bluetooth on. I believe they did the same thing with success for Wi-Fi. If I recall correctly, even when you are not connected to a device, Google can estimate your location based on what Wi-Fi networks you are in proximity to and something to varying degrees might work for Bluetooth as well which is why they also roll the feature over to the Bluetooth toggle

Anything with Richard linklater and Ethan Hawke is usually amazing
