LLM is at its core just a text processing tool. For it to be remotely useful when you’re not generating text from nothing, you need data to process. Preferably larger amounts so you appear more useful. Scraping websites like this is a good way to get source data useful for an individual who you’re trying to convince to give you money.

It’s time for a fork that’s not under hostile control.

Fork or CEO getting booted out in 3… 2… 1…

Well that explains a lot!

No. People who want the benefit of self housing without worrying about hardware will rent a vps or something simpler. The hard part of hardware isn’t the purchase, it’s the maintenance.

Also, why the separate router?

Seems we are on par with AI after all.

Less functionality as in “unable to open more than one panel at a time”

I stg Windows, every new UI is aggravating half-baked drivel.

(obligatory remark about the fact I mostly use Linux here)

Sam Reich? Did you get a haircut?

Bullshit DMCA abuse

Have you passed their captive portal before turning on the VPN?

It takes a special kind of moron to accidentally buy a popular social against your will and still get hoodwinked by disinformation trolls on the platform you now own.

Hate to say it, but Kagi is not great. Both in results and in stewardship.

Wonder why they wouldn’t use OSM.

This is good for Bitcoin

Please, enlighten me how you’d remotely service a few thousand Bitlocker-locked machines, that won’t boot far enough to get an internet connection, with non-tech-savvy users behind them. Pray tell what common “basic hygiene” practices would’ve helped, especially with Crowdstrike reportedly ignoring and bypassing the rollout policies set by their customers.

Not saying the rest of your post is wrong, but this stood out as easily glossed over.

You think they’re not doing both?

It’s alright. I use both their desktop backup service and B2 extensively. Their desktop client and web interface is very basic and a bit rough, you don’t buy their service for the well-developed UI. The service works as advertised though.

It is. Originally they were a MIPS-like, then they licensed it and became MIPS-compatible, then they extended it into their own instruction set.

Why? They offer it as a fallback solution you have to explicitly enable, I can imagine it’s not their focus given that the regular connection is encrypted.

I mean, both are true? It’s not a manipulative headline in my opinion.
