It’s not, really, I switched from Google some years ago and had accepted my faith with DuckDuckGo, but then tried out Kagi. I use search so much daily for work, the relief of getting quality results again is immense and probably saves me hours per week. I get much better results from Kagi than I got at the end from Google, and I can tune them to my liking:

  • block Pinterest results when I search for images,
  • downprioritize shopping results,
  • rewrite all Reddit links to go to old.reddit.com,
  • unamp google AMP links
  • summarize long texts / documents
  • quick answer from the top 5 results

..and so on and so on. It’s just so effective.

It’s coming, a redesign will hopefully hit beta very soon now.

Right hand rule ftw. I learned that from a sweat old lady who was the Health Minister of Beijing. I trust in her wisdom.

There is no excuse for LastPass and it absolutely should not be treated with your passwords or secrets.

You forgot the first rule of Usenet: We do not talk about Usenet. That’s why it works. Keep talking and see what happens.

It’s Malta. That’s the tiny dot learning Italian - I couldn’t find it at first.

Man damn I’m a Visionary user for a long time and contacted proton about the Photo as soon as it was announced; still nothing.

The first and only beta I’ve ever received of Proton products is the recent Mail for desktop; to anyone envying Visionary users their early beta access, don’t - most don’t get anything.

This is why I use a random email for every service that I can simply turn off on my end if they don’t behave.

I just wouldn’t feel ok knowing that some poor camel was forced to haul my new dishwasher through Egypt.

They hit my threshold of shittiness some years back and I’ve been enjoying Jellyfin ever since. It’s a much better alternative for most!

Afaik most Tesla accidents are due to people not used to such a powerful car / acceleration and bump into stuff? I don’t think the majority of insurance cases for Tesla has anything to do with self driving.

I’m late but a couple I didn’t see mentioned:

BeardMeetsFood - funny guy doing eating challenges, never thought I could like this kind of content, and the only one I watch in this category

Itchy Boots - Amazing travel videos from a Dutch girl riding her motorcycle through remote places on all continents. Very positive meetings with people all over the earth to give you back hope for humanity.

Nikolai Schirmer - Ridiculously high quality alpine skiing videos, mostly from Norway. Fantastic story telling and nature combined with too steep skiing. Shouldn’t be possible to get this quality for free.

Expedition Evans - very enjoyable videos of sailboat life for a couple and their two dogs.

Beau Miles - best story teller I know of. Adventurer that mostly make videos about local projects where he’s doing something that involves running very long while philosophizing about interesting topics.

Harry Mack - the most insane freestyle rapper ever, usually makes content on the spot for people on the street or online.

Sheena Melwani - Whenever I need a laugh. Her husband Trid is hilarious. Short videos of them laughing and joking basically.

Iron Chef Dad - wholesome videos with his son, for example making gourmet out of fast food.

Galdoc’s Tutorials - great DevBlog content from making a Factorio mod. Development, debugging, designing, Blender. Fairly technical. Great voice.

Stuff Made Here - great engineering channel, makes crazy contraptions like a moving basket hoop you’ll always hit, a hair cutting robot, auto-aiming bow etc.
