Holy wall of text Batman! I’m lowkey interested in the service, but uhhhh…

Brave Search has !bangs and an independant search index. Kagi relies heavily on it.

There would need to be a legal complaint for a regulatory body correct? A legal complaint was never made.

Not what he said.

His words about the Gail Slater nomination specifically were.

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

I disagree with Yen here, but characterizing that statement as “republicans are the right choice for their policies and democrats are not,” seems like a real stretch.

Ok, but that is explicitly not the person or position Andy commented on.

Despite what TikTok might claim, I’m fairly certain they’ve never actually turned a profit. Data collection, and influencing the American was always the point.

This is also a lie. He did not promote the Republican Party. Words mean something, quit making shit up.

Not even a little in this situation. Maybe take your head out of your ass and stop spreading lies. He literally addressed this head on.

It’s the year I was born, and also a lucky number in Taiwan where I am from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)#%3A~%3Atext=Number+88+symbolizes+fortune+and%2Csupermarkets+often+contain+many+8s.

Yeah, from my experience I believe Kagi’s results are like 90%+ pulled from Brave’s search index. I like the concept of Kagi, but I prefer SearXNG as a search aggregator.

When the citations are on point, I like AI search. 9 times out of 10 I care enough to read the source though.

However, there are still way too many hallucinations when it comes to sources in my experience. It just wastes my time when I go to verify and find that AI just spat out garbage.

Anyone have an opinion on Perplexity compared to Brave Search?

I really value Brave having their own independent search index. Google, Bing, and Yandex have dominated the space for quite some time.

I know Perplexity claims to have a small / curated independent index, but I’m not really sure how true that is.

Heroic Games Launcher is a pretty smooth experience on Linux for what it’s worth. It works well for GOG, Epic, and Amazon Games.

So basically it’s not something she’s ever said, but you’re assuming that she holds the exact beliefs of Scientology. This in spite of the fact she was reportedly raised by a Scientologist, yet is openly gay in contradiction to their teachings. Not to mention her songwriting for Dead Sara, which would indicate other beliefs.

For all we know she left years ago and doesn’t ascribe to any of it. It’s extremely hard to know, and personally I’d like to have some real proof before launching a “righteous” crusade against her.

Honestly give it a minute for the emotions of it all to settle down. Best I can tell this is an out of control internet rage machine, with very little factual information to back up the claims so far. She’s a world class vocalist who’s a relative unknown for most people, and all we’re currently getting is wild and unproven accusations based on hearsay.

Can you point to where she said that she doesn’t “believe in” mental illness?

Most of the accusations being thrown around are tenuous and unproven as far as I can tell. I’m tired of the hate-train circle jerk. People need to back up their statements with facts and evidence, not hearsay.

I’ve been loosely following Emily Armstrong and Dead Sara for a decade or more, and I was so stoked to see join Linkin Park. I swear people just want to be mad these days. If she did shitty things that sucks, but this purity test nonsense has got to stop. Receipts or STFU.

I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.

It has a PWA option, which is pretty cool too!

I have a dual-hose portable AC, because my landlord sucks and won’t install something sensible like a mini-split. My biggest complaint is that the only mode that sucks in outside air relies running the inefficient and expensive AC. I’m in SoCal, so no cheap electricity for me. If I had the option I’d 100% rather install solar, but as a renter that is definitely not an option.

That said if I was purchasing one, I’d buy the one recommended by TheWirecutter. It uses a dual hose-in-hose design and is more power efficient than most models.

A version of that is on sale in the US from Sam’s Club for $375.
