Like?

Edge, chrome, chromium, brave, vivaldi, opera... its all just rebadged chromium.

There's chrome, Firefox, safari.

Unfortunately, by switching to YACB, the user is effectively making Firefox less relevant.

So if you want it to be relevant, you actually do have to use it. Otherwise you can just as well give up and not care at all about the browser monopoly.

Not sure what country you are referring to, Iran? USA? Israel? Libanon?

I have a coworker who is obsessed by LLMs and keeps reiterating that he is super productive with them.

Yet I have to still see the first delivery or codebase by that same person. (I am not his manager)

I lean in the LLM skeptic camp, I know they're great for some things (never to outsource your thinking, what unfortunately a lot of people do), but I'd like to see some studies. Because there are a lot of net negatives in the business press, or max up to 10% improvement.

The company i work for is adopting github in lieu of a solution hosted in our datacenters.

We've had more downtime with github than without. So I'd take the "reliable" with a grain of salt.

Oh, you mean, standing up against full monopolies?

I like to think myself, not have AI do it for me ;)

At that point calling it end-to-end encrypted is not true.

Before I would even consider something like this:

* Where's your privacy policy?

* What/how are you handling the different customer protection laws? What juristictions are you working in? Where's the data hosted?

* Where's the design description?

* What encryption are you actually using? If you rolled your own, then well.. good luck.

* How could you ensure end-to-end encryption over multiple protocols, without either completely reverse engineering said protocols? If your answer here would be that you're using a central server where messages get passed between services (and thus decrypted), it isn't end-to-end.

The site is also very flaky. Sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't. There are so many questions, and zero answers.

Not to mention cheaper ;)

We (partner and I) average between 700 and 900 searches a month. Kagi has been so worth it.

I do find it hilarious how little traction this story gets, but if it would be the identical story about Google, meta, x, ... it'd probably blow up.

This week, packages from repo.saltproject.io will be migrated to packages.broadcom.com. This means a variety of disruptive changes are being implemented around installing, upgrading, and pinning/locking Salt.
