"Western and Ukrainian propaganda wants you to believe so you keep voting for the politicians that prop the regime in Kiev with your tax money"

I'd rather not discuss it with people who can't even spell Kyiv correctly, I'm good.

EDIT: Read your comments, two for two, damn.

Checked out your other comments, wish I would've done so before engaging.

Bye.

Not compared to how much the rockets that are used to hit them cost.

Sure, but they generate civilian electricity, military has generators, and had them for years, so it just doubles the war crime.

>Russia is not doing some ephemeral "inflict pain"

Oh but it is, there is no other explanation why civilian heating facilities are being targeted during winter otherwise, they don't cost much to fix, and actually cost a lot to target, but they do bring a lot of pain to the civilian population (winters in Ukraine are brutal).

And as if it wasn't obvious enough, the anti-ukrainian government bot campaigns that always coincide with the attacks make it obvious beyond belief.

You'd guess wrong, because modern Yandex is essentially Kremlin owned, so it is directly supporting it, not in a huge amount (on account of Kagi being relatively tiny company), but definitely not 'none'.

Also in the discussions about removal or at least asking to make it toggle-able, so users can make sure their requests and money are not forwarded to Russia have been shut off and ridiculed (including staff member saying "our views on the war differ" whatever that meant.

Their support agent in the forum very unambiguously answered to one of the early complaints about the Yandex thing with "Our opinion about war differs", I nope'd out right there and then

Yandex these days is pretty much directly Kremlin, so it's not "through taxes".

That being said Kagi -> Yandex hop does indeed make it indirect.

(I too have stopped using Kagi after I found out that they pay Yandex and employ people who support Russian war).

sure, but I prefer this layout to majority of big tech today.

Gives me flexibility and choice and does not punish me with 600px wide content box because majority of users have trouble grasping the concept of window management.

I would like to introduce a wild concept -- browser window is resizable.

I use mine as semi-disposable device I wouldn't be afraid to lose or get stolen, it is mostly thin client for my bigger devices (over ssh and rarely vnc), encrypted disk and when lid closes it automatically shuts off, so it's a perfect device to always carry including in shadier areas when traveling.

I'm missing netbooks so much, there's just no decent 10" laptops on the market anymore.

I got myself a 150$ N150 chromebook, yoinked a Linux on it and using that, despite the terrible screen and build quality, but at least it is disposable.
