Kagi was founded as an AI company so this is not surprising. I unsubscribed from them after learning that. Also, their CEO is a weirdo who harasses people critical of their product and he thinks the GDPR is optional.

What is there more to add? I literally read both sides arguments and seen the evidence. Hyperlands community is a cesspool. They are extremely hateful against everyone who isn’t an english speaking white straight man and even then you are not safe from their hate. When Vaxry was called out on his communities behaviour the immediate reaction was aggression and once he was banned from FDO he played the victim. This is right out of the fascists playbook.

Whether I am better then them or not was never the question and also requires a criteria to measure against. If ability to be hateful against transpeople is the criteria, then I have to admit I am thoroughly beaten.

Ok, and yet you still practically can’t buy anything but drugs with your crypto coins. They are also valued in ‘proprietary money’. Even in the unlikely event that privacy friendly crypto currencies catch on, regulations will make these either completely illegal or their use will require KYC verification as is already the case for normal transactions. As I keep saying, whether we like it or not technological solutions are worthless for political problems. You can’t code your way around a boot to your face.

I read #bothsides and concluded that Vaxry and his boys club are fascist cunts.

Well, do it harder then. Ponzi coin isn’t a solution either.

The solution is to vote for privacy preserving policies. The only thing tech will do is taking your money while promising something that is impossible to implement, leaving you with nothing. Technological solutions are fundamentally ill suited to solving this issue.

So you are buying your groceries with that ponzi coin? Besides, if cash is made illegal cryptocurrencies are definitely also illegal and no legitimate business will accept them.

Your ponzi scheme won’t save you then. There are no technical solutions to a purely political problem.

“Everybody who disagrees with me is a bot.”

Spoken like a true bagholder. Cryptocurrencies are a ponzi scheme.

Is this the rage baiting flavour of the month? Is the next step complaining that they spent it all on “the rainbow people”? The Linux Foundation supports lots of open source projects and 8 million dollars on kernel development alone is a lot.

I would prefer purple.

I am using Kinoite for quite a while now and not once did layering break anything. The only thing I notice is that the mesa drivers from rpmfusion occasionally go out of sync with the fedora repos and I have to wait a few days for an update. I think ublue would fix that but I am not bothered enough by that to make the switch. What where you trying to achieve that you managed to break Kinoite?

In case you haven’t tried that yet, maybe you could run it in a systemd enabled distrobox container.

The videos by suckerpinch are always a treat. I can also highly recommend his video about filesystems that store data in difficult ways, for example by playing Tetris in a NES emulator and using the arrangement of the tetris blocks as data store.

Don’t forget that KDE is very modular. Akonadi, for example, can be removed entirely if you don’t plan to use the KDE PIM suite.

I see little reason to use any of the BSDs. Neither for desktops nor for servers. The only benefit I see is that you can take the BSD licensed code and use it to create a closed source product like the PlayStation without having to contribute anything back. I dislike that benefit with quite some intensity.

I ran FreeBSD on my home server for a while since the old TrueNAS versions use it. The supposed simplicity of BSD rings hollow to me as it is just another thing I’d have to learn. I also don’t care much about the Unix philosophy or any other clerical reasons that distinguish the various BSDs. Computers and their OSes are a tool to me not a religion. Admittedly TrueNAS worked well for me, but reading up on the differences from Linux got old rather quickly. I migrated to the newer Debian Linux based TrueNAS Scale a couple of months ago because I feel more confident that if anything goes wrong I’d be able to fix it.

I unsubscribed and deleted my Kagi account mainly because of their attitude to data privacy but also because of their nutjob CEO. When I subscribed I was excited because I thought they wanted to build a proper competitor to other search engine operators, but they are actually just another company that tries to shove AI into absolutely everything. So, after realising that they are an untrustworthy company full of tech maximalists trying to build the torment nexus, I immediately canceled my subscription and moved back to duckduckgo and marginalia. Maybe I give SearXNG another go, it’s just that selfhosting is a bit of a bother.

Or he is trying to get ahead of some news. Maybe a journalist contacted him about some serious allegations. So now he joins up with Musk, comes out against the ‘woke agenda’ and when the news releases, he can claim its main stream media silencing him.

Bountysource was owned by a company called The Blockchain Group and it looks like the parent company went bankrupt taking Bountysource down with them. Its hard to say if Bountysource could have survived if it wasn’t sold to some cryptocurrency companies.
