They claim that they don’t link/save your search history so although they have your details for payment, technically it’s not linked. If they aren’t lying…

You’re accusing Cory Doctorow, the guy who invented the phrase “enshittification”, of making a blog post that’s really an advert…? Really???

Can only speak for the UK but as the lowest civil court here, small claims decisions are not binding on any other court (including other small claims courts) but they are considered “pervasive” and thus a judge should be aware and take them into consideration.

He said he was UK based… 100% unenforceable, an employment tribunal wouldn’t even bother hearing it

Pronounced “shitter”

Fingers crossed on Larian getting a licence for Traveller…

Do we have a Fediverse equivalent of Facebook yet…?

Nice ad hominem…

He was also creative director for the original Ultima Online game and Star Wars Galaxies… both awesome and innovative MMOs at the time…

I mean I guess it could happen… so I guess why trust anyone? May as well just switch it all off!

Not only does Kagi produce great search results, as good as “old Google” IMO, its business model means the above cannot (or at least, shouldn’t) happen. If it ever changed its model to include ads etc it would collapse so fast.

So for me, unlike the other poster, I’d recommend it to everyone who’s finding the existing search engines are rubbish and full of useless Etsy and SEO etc links.

The idea is it gives enough time for competition to establish and then everyone completes on an even footing without fettering the original monopoly after it’s no longer a monopoly in that space… arguably it worked as Chrome took over but all that’s happened it it made a new monopoly 🤷🏻‍♂️

And what happens if they’re a pilot as well???

ios autocorrect was already pretty dreadful

Unless I’ve missed something I don’t see how this makes WhatsApp worse…? Just don’t sign up to the people’s channels if you don’t want to 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’d like to know how that’s even remotely compliant with the ECHR???
