Support of Israel is as despicable (if not more so) as support of Russia.

1) Kagi has had AI features for quite a while. And you get access to quite a wide variety of LLMs for the price.

2) Yeah this is the one thing I still use google for. Though they did recently update Kagi maps (a weeka ago I think?).

> but that would be absurd. Would it? I think the case for Israel is stronger than for Russia, even. Not saying you're wrong in principle, but this doesn't seem like a strong argument to me.

He did steal money more directly from Wozniak.

Widely reported does not imply widely known.

Do you have a source on that claim? Kagi-ing it only returns me mentions of rumors that they said that. No actual interview or reputable source.

Orion Browser is basically as old a product as Kagi Search.

If what you worry is about privacy, Kagi has very strong privacy features that shouldn't be vulnerable to gov interference. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html

The highest risk of suicide for trans people is how the surrounding people treat them. Additionally, regret of transitions is lower than for most surgeries. There is no real reason that allowing trans people to live their lives as they please causes any harm to them, it's only moral panic.

History is a pretty good argument that they can't be separated.

Dunno about parent but to me "old algorithm" is more like 2010, not 2014.

Edit: 2010 and earlier. To me old youtube is before the rise of Minecraft. There's probably a better threshold but that's the one that comes to mind.

That article is on latinx specifically. As someone from and living in LatAm I can attest that use of todxs, tod@s, and even todes are not rare sights as replacements for "todas y todos". This is a distinct phenomenon from latinx.
