With shorts timing is all that matters.

We used to have a power bar that every thing was connected to. Same principle applies.

In 2025 I don’t turn off the computer.

So how am I supposed to identify a “stealth Spam campaign” using the search function.

I just see Kagi users saying they like kagi.

Can I see examples of kagi please.

My beef with them are three fold.

1. They have been around for a decade and the elderly seem to still have screen terror and freeze up and take forever
2. There are often fewer of these machines and children plug the hole trying one sip of every flavor
3. I’ve thrown out cellphones with faster interfaces than these things and the damn screens get gross after a while if not cleaned constantly

I mean as much as millennials would hate to hear it they will soon be the largest demographic (if they are not all ready) .

Time will tell if they succumb to the same tropes their parents did it is they get a new fun set of undesirable qualities.

My guess would be some sort of government service or charity whose funding is state related but is close to a border with another state.

They can probably serve out of state people but are not set up for it.

That, or New Jersey still has laughable IDs that are essentially laminated paper. The US is weirdly stuck in the past that way. Only recently have their IDs started to resemble ones from 30 years ago in Canada.

I mean, Mayo is cheap, aioli is expensive.

Exactly.

Each of those knobs needs an injection mould, each switch behind it a supply chain. Iterating on digital design is far cheaper as well.

It’s far cheaper to use what are effectively 10 year old tablets in the cheaper cars. Since LCDs are being mass manufactured for other things that likely get a nice economy of scale.

That, and to pull them out during road rage incidents. Also pull them out when you’re scared of a black person. Don’t forget take them to school to get revenge.

They need them for a lot of reasons.

The built a thing by burning investor money to artificially lower the price and sell out high on stock IPOs is still going strong I see.

The Alexa division is struggling so they are well into the extract phase of the product.

Google will get there in time as well.

I’m saying there isn’t a religion that doesn’t force it’s shit on people.

So basically you’re fine with supporting things that hurt others just so long as you’re left alone.

Religions have yet to prove to me they are not just another tribal group that wants control with extra steps.

The main issue will be application support.

Linux running on the desktop in 2025 is helped immensely by everything being web based. So long as you have a browser you are fine for a lot of general computing.

The phone space is ruled by apps. The phone makers and the companies developing apps prefer it this way.

Getting a banking app, or Uber or Facebook Messenger to work on a Linux phone is going to be a massive pain in the ass (ignoring the rest of the OS which is definitely not even close to useable for the general public).

I would love a Linux phone but we are so far away.

Kagi does provide a good experience but it can never replace the free search engines. It relies pretty heavily on Google’s search API it just allows you to massage the results with tools Google took away.

The incentives don’t allow for this shit in an organization like Google. They can only respond to stock price and earnings.

Very likely someone back channeled a demand and they folded like a deck of cards.

So the team responsible for that AI box added Trump dementia to the list of things it won’t respond to.

The team responsible for the news bits didn’t get the request so that just shows up in its place.

Eh probably the LLMs should be taking up most of that corner.

One thing I don’t see people mentioning is that Netflix has a bunch of good games for “free” if you already subscribe.
