<p>How exactly does Kagi bill you for going over your monthly limit?<p>Do they send you a bill at a later date, or are you meant to refill your balance before you can make more searches, or what?<p>I assume they don't keep your credit card on file and charge you for each individual extra search.</p>

<p>Would you be amenable to a program like Keepass?<p>Your password store is a single file, it can be encrypted, backed up (or not), distributed/synchronized between your devices (or not). It belongs to you, not to a third party.<p>The inevitable rejoinder is, "what happens if someone gets that file?" Well, what happens if someone gets your piece of paper?</p>

<p>> Because while the naming is pretty bad, people do actually know it's the latest generation console.<p>Do they? I don't. At this moment, I couldn't tell you the name of Microsoft's newest console, because their naming convention is so convoluted. Meanwhile, I can tell from a glance that the PS5 is newer than the PS4.<p>Granted, I'm not a console gamer, but neither are (most) parents buying consoles for their children.<p>"Ehh, people will know what we're talking about" seems like a haphazard marketing strategy.</p>

<p>> When will the mass media stop feeding people with that crap?<p>They won't, and that's why I think we, as a society, need to move past journalism.<p>That sounds like sarcasm, but it isn't. And I know what you're thinking- "oh but  a free press is one of the legs of the tripod of society!" Well it was, decades ago. Now it's literally all tabloids and propaganda. It's time let it go.<p>We have various tools that allow individuals to securely communicate with each other. Let people communicate the news, word-of-mouth. We don't need bloggers and corporations anymore to put a spin on the facts.<p>"Democracy dies in darkness" is a threat, not a plea. Do you listen to cancer when it admonishes you, "don't excise me, or you'll be sorry!"</p>

<p>The powers that be have deemed that they don't care what the "free labor force" wants or thinks. They care about the experience of the users, not the experience of the rulers of petty internet fiefdoms.<p>Reddit has indicated that it wants to pay for content moderation. So be it. Who are you to tell them how they run their company?<p>Maybe when we move away from "volunteers" then the "volunteers" can get real jobs that pay real money! It'll be good for them.</p>

<p>I could never get past the idea of a key sending a different keystroke than the one printed on it.<p>Yes, I know you're not supposed to look at the keyboard as you type. And I don't. But I still don't like it. It sets off "this is dumb" alarm bells in my head.<p>And because it's impossible to replace every keyboard I own or use, or physically rearrange their keys from QWERTY to Dvorak/Colemak, i'm stuck with QWERTY.</p>

<p>I can never go back to X11 and I think the greatest condemnation of it is that we're still talking about screen tearing in 2023.<p>Screen tearing is something that simply shouldn't exist by default.
