The very first thing I did with Kagi was block Pinterest. Very satisfying to see that the top 6 most blocked domains are all Pinterest.

So you're fine with kiddie porn on twitter then?

I use bitwarden and I don't understand the question.

My phone gives me a popup on text boxes to enter credentials. There's also a bitwarden button on my keyboard. I scan my thumb and it signs me in.

On my desktop browser, I get a badge on the bitwarden button when it detects a site it has credentials for. Two clicks signs me in. Three if my session times out and I need to put in my master password.

I have a single unique and complex password that I have to remember, and I have recovery keys stored in a physically safe location.

Bitwarden generates complex passwords with a single click, and has excellent integration with the browser.

Password management is sane. You can just use a good password manager and understand how to protect your single master password. Which basically just means never, ever type that password into anything other than your password manager.

ETA: bitwarden also syncs seamlessly between my half dozen different devices/installs. It works everywhere, and if I really cared to I could set up my own server so as to not rely on Bitwarden's infrastructure.

I keep trying to use Jetbrains Gateway. It spins up the IDE on a remote machine and renders it locally.

I honestly can't find a use for it. My personal machines are ancient quad core setups, but I have a beefy server at my disposal.

But the benefit of faster build times isn't worth the hassle. Between the suboptimal performance of the remote interface, syncing files back to my local machine, and all of the little idiosyncrasies of setting up the remote environment, it's still faster to develop locally. I just go grab a glass of water when I start my compile.

This might make more sense if you're working on some C++ monstrosity with millions of lines of code that takes hours to build on a mainframe, but if you're in the region of minutes per build, there's just no benefit.

Or I guess if all you have is a thin client, this might be better than nothing. But then again, you can get an IDE and compiler for most languages on an android tablet. If you have a machine with a processor, it can compile your code.

Consumers can only make a choice if there is a choice.

If nobody sells a TV that doesn't spy on you and play ads because of collusion, or simply because it's the single best profit optimizer, how do consumers regulate the market? The only option is for nobody to buy a TV ever again, which clearly won't happen.

Capitalism requires external regulation, otherwise we get monopolies and collusion that remove choice so that consumers have no option other than to pay too much for something that doesn't work well enough.

"The market" isn't a fairy godmother with your best interests in mind. It's a senseless machine that can only optimize for more paperclips forever. It's fundamentally incapable of doing anything else without external input.

Threatening to cut off internet to Ukraine in the middle of a war, casing journalists off twitter, chasing black, queer, and other marginalized people off twitter and allowing racists and bigots to take over, unbanning people posting kiddie porn, or people inciting armed conflict. Firing hundreds of people and not paying them, not paying bills, firing a spotlight into people's apartments from twitter HQ. Starting an entire company to drill tunnels for no reason other than to disrupt plans for a train network. Disregarding all advice and blasting a concrete pad into high velocity fragments and causing widespread damage. Pushing faulty self-driving cars that kill people.

Yeah, sounds great

Those two options are not mutually exclusive

As opposed to its previous star?

Hold up, we've identified a mechanism that all cancer cells posses and healthy cells don't? That's almost unbelievable.

I wonder how something like that comes about? Is there something special about that isoform that is necessary for tumor growth or what?

> I'm not sure why you took my comment so poorly, could you help me understand why?

Bingo!

Hear me out: superconducting railgun for launching multi-ton payloads to supply a lunar colony without rockets

Don't confuse sustainable with profitable

Yeah, no way I'd ever trust something like this if it wasn't on hardware I control.

You can't 100% trust some company to secure something this personal, but you know that you won't one day sell your personal diary to some ad firm.

Plus, privacy isn't even the biggest concern. What do you do when the company hosting it goes bust? Or simply decides to not support it anymore, or randomly increases the price? The server in my basement has way less uptime than AWS, but I control what services it runs, forever.

A lot of people online have some really weird puritanical notions about medication that affects the brain. Basically all of them should be dismissed out of hand.

Medication is fine, it helps a lot of people, even if it doesn't work for everyone. For some, the effect is quite profound, even life changing. It's up to you, and anyone telling you it's somehow wrong isn't worth listening to.

As to AI, what I want is a LLM acting as a personal assistant fed from a database of all of my daily experiences. My brain isn't that great at organizing and recalling data, so I want to take all of the data I receive and feed it into a machine that can organize and recall it for me. I want a digital copy of my brain that I can search through.

The AI can pick up from my conversations that I promised Bill the TPS reports at 4. Because I'm bad at remembering and actioning on things, it can pop an event into my schedule. Or it can pick up that I said I'd work on encabulator designs in six standups but there's no reference in my commit history and nag me.

I could ask "what do I know about encabulation" and get every article I personally have read relating to mazelvanes and perfabulated amylite. Or "what was that book I read one time about time traveling dogs", or "what's my sister in law's favorite color?", or "what did Kathy say last week about her kid's audition?"

Better yet, it could scan through conversations and guess that Alice wants fancy German chocolates for her birthday because she mentioned it 18 times.

There's just some things my brain does badly at. Just part of the neurological lottery I guess. I want to make up for that by offloading cognitive effort onto a machine. That will massively improve my quality of life, which has the side effect of making me much, much more productive.

I feel like this is a more positive way to help ADHD people. It works with you to make up for the things you're deficient at, rather than making you work harder to compensate. It's actual helping and not "you can do better"

I think everyone could benefit from this type of thing, but right now I see enormous potential for actually helping ADHD and autistic people.

> isn't helping ADHD people be productive the same thing?

Sure, if you believe the meaning of life is working as hard as you possibly can for no benefit until you die.

Real people in the real world have passions, desires, hobbies. Chores, relationships, responsibilities. We have lives. If you've ever met someone with severe ADHD, you'd see that it affects your life deeply and can greatly decrease your quality of life. And that's mostly because of the 'work til you drop' mindset.

> As far as your trust issues go, that's for each individual to decide.

Trusting companies who have over and over done everything they possibly can to turn your trust into money is not really a sane or logical stance to take. Giving enormous detail about your personal life, or confidential work data to a company that blatantly does not respect you or your privacy is not wise.

So to sum up, you're mansplaining my own disability to me and gaslighting me about not trusting openai.

Don't stop now, my 'shitty dudebro' bingo card is nearly full
