I support sexual assualt because I think associating all men with sexual assault is divisive? Eat shit and die.

Downvoted not because it isn’t true, but because they aren’t automatically mutually exclusive and because it is an unnecessary jab at half of the human species. Why are we paying attention to divisive bullshit instead of focusing on things that actually have the potential to help?

No, the PWA thing is a separate annoyance. What I find is that in a lot of web apps, the app mostly works fine but has bugs that break certain things or are seriously inconvenient in Firefox only. Two I’ve experienced recently are Nextcloud Office slideshows (I need to search for/open a bug report honestly) and a web based billing software we use at work.

Sadly no, ever web app company definitely doesn’t test under Firefox. I’m at the point where I use Firefox for general web browsing and Chromium for most web apps.

Reddit is terrible as a website. But it still has the communities that developed there over years, and they are an invaluable resource. They are definitely positioning themselves to pull a Digg, but until the Reddit-killer comes along with a mass exodus (and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be Lemmy unfortunately) access to those communities will entail dealing with reddit.

Go ahead and Google server OS market share. Educate yourself, I’m not interested in arguing with someone who isn’t interested in reality over winning an argument. Sincerely, fuck off.

Linux only has around 4% install base compared to Windows.

So you’re including supercomputers and desktops. What about servers and embedded devices? No kernel is more ubiquitous than Linux.

On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn’t been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don’t have some level of confidence in that, I’d rather not rely on the tool.

This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn’t being updated.

And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp’s silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.

I’ve used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I’ve never heard of them being “known for” the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I’d be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you’re saying.

Maybe not, but like you were told from another comment waze is also a Google/Alphabet product. As an otherwise near fully de-googled phone user, google maps is still the best option I know of.

On Linux KVM is what people use for this. Not an option in VirtualBox.

He’s contributing a useful video, you’re contributing useless vitriol.

The only thing I thought was an error on the CEO’s part (not regarding his views, just the way he handled himself) was the long followup email when the blog author said he wasn’t interested in debating with him. That email should have been a blog post of its own if it was worth writing in the first place, imo.

About his views, though: I’m turned off by his lack of regard for user-supplied details as PII. For me to use a search engine that requires an account, and therefore associates all of my searches with me directly, I would need to be supremely confident that my information is in good hands. Otherwise, how am I better off than using any other search engine on the internet without an account?

I’m glad I read through this post, Kagi has been on my radar but I hadn’t looked into it enough to decide if I might have any interest. Seems like the answer is, at least for now: no.

Whatever tickles your fancy sweetheart

I don’t get it

I could see this being great! In at least several years and possibly a decade or two, when AI is far more reliable than it is now. And when it can run entirely locally on a smartphone without major problems. And when there is sufficient adoption of this approach that the inability to use apps doesn’t cause interoperability problems for users.

VM detection that I’ve run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven’t ran any tests to verify).

Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.
