<p>Yandex these days is pretty much directly Kremlin, so it's not "through taxes".<p>That being said Kagi -> Yandex hop does indeed make it indirect.<p>(I too have stopped using Kagi after I found out that they pay Yandex and employ people who support Russian war).</p>

<p>I use mine as semi-disposable device I wouldn't be afraid to lose or get stolen, it is mostly thin client for my bigger devices (over ssh and rarely vnc), encrypted disk and when lid closes it automatically shuts off, so it's a perfect device to always carry including in shadier areas when traveling.</p>

<p>I did not imply that it does, I meant to have a budget allocated for 'unauthenticated deep history queries', when it's over it's over and you only handle dynamic fetching for authorized users until cooldown.<p>Is it pretty? No, but it also is a pretty niche thing overall (git repo storage).</p>

<p>You don't lower the cost of killing by improved targeting, you lower it by thugs shooting people in broad daylight with no consequences.<p>I understand the argument that moving the decision making power to a black box would clear conscience of the operator, yadda yadda yadda, but newsflash, price of human life is falling so quick, that I think we're far beyond the point where it matters.</p>

<p>Israeli settlers are despicable, but even in current government those who support them are minority freaks(who Hamas has empowered very much after October 7th).<p>Also it is a two way street, there is also a problem of Palestinian settlers, which while I do want to highlight is separate and in no way justifies the Israeli ones, is still a real problem and harnesses a lot of bad publicity when Israel destroys said illegal settlements.</p>
