Yes

True, but I don’t think I’d mind it I had a windows pc that I used like a game console and for nothing else. Obviously it’s way more invasive, but game piracy is pretty risky in the first place.

Though I already gave up games that won’t work on Linux, and am quite content with that so far. But if I was still determined to play pirated windows games, it would be a dedicated vlan-isolated machine which I always presume to be compromised; in that case, a hypervisor isn’t that big of an ask to gain access to previously unplayable games

I was gonna say government (legislation with teeth), but yeah sorta

I wonder what the solution to a capitalist privacy nightmare is… /s

Well… Nothing new then.

They talk about the name in the initial announcement back in 2023 where they link to many blogs discussing the topic.

The term is a bit broader than those protocols and Kagi is far from the first to use it; it certainly isn’t a “hijack” as if it was the name if another project or something. ‘Small Web’ isn’t them claiming to own the concept of the small web, or that it’s somehow only accessible through them… It’s just a feature; search, as a curated product they offer and maintain.

It’s just what they named the lens, because it’s a lens for the ‘small web’ as they defined it; like the other lenses. They aren’t hijacking the word ‘academia’ by having an academia lens…

Sure, maybe they could slap ‘Kagi’ in front of ‘Small Web’ just to be sure, but I doubt anyone will confuse the concept of noncommercial small websites with a paid service…

Also

In general hijacking of names is one of the dangers very specific to our modern era and not really a problem before the Internet.

Neat fact: you can trace the roots of trademark law back like 7000 years …

Worth noting that when it was initially launched, it didn’t have such an emphasis on AI.

It just so happens that noncommercial small sites tend to be slop-free, and there’s a big demand for that, so now that’s how they’re marketing it.

🤣

I’d rather see a third Trump term than that asshole; and unlike the other guy, I’m not kidding or being sarcastic. It’s like hoping the drunk driver swerves into oncoming traffic rather than continue barreling toward an elementary school’s fieldtrip class. The ratchet effect is in full force and these career/corporate dems are complicit at best.

No more stalling or stand-still ‘harm reduction’ strategic voting. Fix your shit or die trying America, because calling a brief time-out isn’t going to put out the fires.

I was under the impression that he did a lot for what the system allowed him to do.

Brings to mind a meme I just saw posted a bit ago…

I’m pretty anti webtech but even I’ve written GUIs in wails. I hate electron so much, but what makes it worse is that there are so many better options. The people that keep pushing it are stupid*

I think you’d be significantly more politically informed if you didn’t read anything on substack

The problem with betting against it is that “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”

That would be great. I’ll believe it when I see it.

How dare people read what I write and attribute motivations and intentions to my publically outspoken opinions and positions

So far as I can tell, Crockett was practically an idpol/Woke-v1 psyop by conservatives. I never thought I’d be happy to see a black woman lose in Texas, or cheer for GenericChristianWhiteBoy#12, but here we are…
