Valid question, fuck those downvoters.

Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.

I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.

I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.

For now it’s DDG I guess. :-(

If your goal is to get away from this AI shit show, Kagi might not be the answer, according to their own blog.

I will search for a very interesting article you should read, before deciding to give kagi any money.

Edit: found it

Yes, ukraine should lose some more soldiers to take a cut out of russia, to really show them. /s

Damn, this position at the sideline, rooting for our team, surley is comfortable.

Germany knows whats up.

Don’t like the loud kid next door? Run it over with your car. Your wife left you? Kill a bunch of pedestrians to blow off steam. You are below 18 years old and don’t have a car? Fuck off, your age is a YOU-problem.

After we build that one more lane we will be even greater than the USA.

I heard rumours that there was a giant animal involved in the making of Linus Torvalds. So please refer to him as GNU/Linus, or GNU+Linus.

That’s the neat part - you don’t! Fuck Adobe.

Who puts up with this shit anyway? Go buy an Apple. You can eat it while installing Linux.

Yes, convenience is the main reason people like you use discord. But there are many reasons against using it and I am sure you know all of them, so no need for a discussion.

Just wanted to highlight: you are part of the discord problem.

“Hop on the discord server”… Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.

Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.

Lemmy interpreted the * as something cursive. I try to edit it like I mean it.

Sorry to hear, I feel you:

I wanted to delete all .m3u-files in my music collection when I learned:

find ./ -name "*.m3u" -delete -> this would have been the right way, all .m3u in the current folder would have been deleted.

find ./ -delete -name "*.m3u" -> WRONG, this just deletes the current folder and everything in it.

Who would have known, that the position of -delete actually matters.

Does anyone know a good screenshot tool for wayland?

Very good points here already. So I just provide an example:

They are planning to build a parking garage in the middle of my town (17000 people). The promisse is, that they will remove parking spots in many streets around the center, as the parking garage would easily compensate for them.

I see the positive aspects, less cars parking on the roads and more parking space overall.

For me the negative aspects outweight the positive here:

• More parking spaces invite more people to take the car into the city. The sourrounding streets have less parked cars but will be much more used by cars in motion. The space we ‘won’ would be gone again.
• the parking garage is very ugly, in the middle of an otherwise nice city center. It takes away the space of projects that would attract more tourists.
• The city wants to have reduced car traffic in the city, but the parking garage is a long term investment into more car traffic, that is not easily reversed in the next 20-30 years.
• the induced car traffic leads to all the negative things we all know… More noise, pollution, unsafe, expensive, unhealthy

I wish I knew why they prefer to drive. It is obvious, that they do, but the reason is hard to understand for me. Going by bike is faster, healthier, cheaper, helps reduce emissions of all sorts and sets you up for a happier mindset.

A seemingly absurd reason like “people think biking is for poor people” doesn’t seem to be so absurd after all, considering the enormous amount of people deciding to take the car instead of the bike. It at least has to be one of the reasons, it’s just a matter of probability.

Get rid of convenient things, that’s how they get you!

If only there was a way for you to get your point accross, without insulting others.

Calling a bunch of people ‘dickriders’ is just as toxic as the Linus-message. Do what you want, but you are not an inch better than Linus.

But yes, the mail is toxic and unacceptable.

However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don’t expect anything and instead contribute.

Focusing on the entitled people won’t make you happy, reagardless the topic.

My father printed the GNU license 100 times, rolled it up and gave me a good beating with it. The only true way to learn about the four freedoms.
