What’s your vector, Victor?

Signal already has a setting that blocks message content from displaying in push notifications; the case highlights why such a feature might be important for some users to turn on.

Domain is <2 weeks old, any chance you have a DNS adblockers? It may get flagged as a new registration for safety.

FWIW I was browsing on Proton VPN with their DNS adblocker enabled, and I also got nothing from the link. Disabling made everything OK again.

I would love this for my home, as well as at a smaller scale for my homelab, and even potentially things like power tools.

Just recently a friend doing a home reno project had one of their drill batteries achieve thermal runaway, fortunately while they were home. Made me really think twice about the pile of tools in my garage.

I’d trade in just about every portable-scale Li-ion battery I own for a slightly less energy dense but safer alternative.

Having been in many a Chinese Didi, the touch screens aren’t just bad for UI, they also have things like video backgrounds and advertising built in. Distracted driving waiting to happen.

What genres interest you? Do you want general news, a specific news subject, opinion pieces, lifestyle/DIY blogs?

The opportunities are endless.

IDK what the situation was like specifically two years ago, but now:

They have a whole section in their privacy policy on GDPR and CCPA etc, as well at clear instructions on how to use their service 100% anonymously leveraging TOR and Privacy Pass (+bitcoin and a burner email if you don’t want people even knowing you have a Kagi account)

https://kagi.com/privacy

https://kagi.com/privacy/rights

Seems weird to put in a whole Privacy Rights section about the privacy laws that apply to them if they don’t think privacy laws apply to them.

That article is 2 years old. In the last two years Kagi hasn’t collapsed on itself, it’s not overrun with AI, the world hasn’t ended. They’ve implemented Privacy Pass, extended their browser support to Linux, introduced SlopStop for reporting AI websites, and generally continued to improve their main product.

Kagi is a business, run by people, who make decisions to the best of their ability based on their understanding of what’s going to best serve their needs/priorities.

Like any other product, the owners are guaranteed to make decisions that are not aligned with a fraction of their prospective customers needs/views. That’s what it’s like trying to serve a broad market like “internet search users”. Some of those users are inevitably going to get fired up enough to write a 20,000 word opinion piece on the subject.

For any service, you have to choose if the value proposition makes sense for you and your needs. For me, the value of most free search services has gone down the drain, and the value of spending monthly for Kagi is better than having to think about/maintain a SearXNG instance. YMMV.

Like a small curated stumbleupon. I gave it a few clicks a little while back and as you’d expect theres a pretty wide range of good to junk content on there, but it all felt distinctly human.

Since none of the pages are ad ridden its hard to imagine the AI crazies wasting tokens on something they can’t really monetize.

Literally any free search engine could stop serving searches that are slop - Kagi isn’t stopping them.

It’s almost like “free” search engines have ulterior motives for how they prioritize search results.

The data suggesting an outcome is the fact that Uber is pouring millions of dollars into this campaign. That’s a sizable and somewhat risky investment (because it could go nowhere) so it needs an equally sizable ROI for them.

Ambulance chaser lawyers are some of the worst, but I’m not holding my breath that Uber is here to save the day out of the kindness of their hearts.

Which? Leaving it in a desk prevents tracking because the desk isn’t following you. Putting it on an account that is fully logged out by default means it only gets your location when you switch to that account (which you can control).

I have a separate user in GrapheneOS for service accounts like Amazon or my Philips Hue lights, and that account is fully blocked for running in the background. Once a month or so when I need one of those apps I’m sure they all phone home, but their data is heavily limited.

Anyone have a good source of printable toilet-paper-with-super-glue-style stickers that seem to come on everything I purchase? The kind that’s impossible to remove in one go, you’ve gotta scrape at it for at least 8 hours.

Asking for a friend.

If that were even remotely true hopefully the press is smart enough to install on a burner “work” phone that sits in their desk drawer, or on a secondary account that is logged out by default.

Have you tried a dolphin impersonation? I think that’s gender neutral.

“EEK EEK EEK EEK EEK”

“Dear AI coding agent, write for me a 10,000 page manifesto on the downsides of assigning performance metrics to employees unrelated to their actual work product. Populate it with generated images of Nvidia’s CEO getting railed by a bunch of copyright lawyers in the style of a Studio Ghibli film. Please ensure every fifth sentence rhymes with orange. Continue to generate images and short videos of Jensen Huang licking shit off the floor of a 7-11 rest stop bathroom until you have used enough tokens to meet my salary target.”

Considering 8GB systems are back in vogue, that’s a fuckload. More than half your ram just going to the computer existing.

Am I going insane or is there nowhere in the article where they mention which 6 dash cams have no security concerns?

Because I had to open the video just to find out WTF this vague title is talking about - Proton VPN kill switch not working when jumping servers on MacOS.

Agree Proton should fix, but also fuck clickbaity titles.
