Mostly it's a question of middle ground for an acceptable scale of decision, but "only change something if we know for a fact it's purely beneficial" is not a realistic plan no matter how intensely important the matter is. At some point decisions have to be made.

This is one of the things that becomes harder and more entrenched the worse those decisions are democratically legitimated. I think it's not unlikely that the difference in expectations between us boils down to a general different level of trust in authority.

For some things there just is no easy way.

I'm a happy subscriber, and it's certainly a big improvement over Google search. But the internet just isn't the same place it was five years ago. And as search results (for non-navigational queries) are becoming less useful by the day, I find myself asking AI to do it for me more.

There's a lot to like about Kagi, but they'll probably have to reinvent themselves if they want to grow beyond the niche that high level internet search will probably become.

So you're not just sacrificing "on the go" banking, you are likely sacrificing use of the best interface your bank offers.

I don't even hate the player, it's just what you gotta do to run a business now. But man I can't wait for this chapter of the game to be over.

No connection over the internet is not transport encrypted these days, but that is not what this conversation is about. It's about whether messages are encrypted so the server cannot read them. And Telegram is commonly mistaken to have this property, including OP I was responding to.

If you go around telling people that telegram is "encrypted", please stop. You are spreading disinformation.
