For context - I assume this comment is referring to Kagi still paying Yandex to use their index.
I've collected some links here last time this was discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46057759

If openrouter is to be trusted, the cheapest offers that are not from Deepseek itself are:
- twice as expensive on the output (1.52 vs 0.87)
- six times as expensive on the input (0.33 vs 0.05)

Not that it answers your question, but the move happened in 2020 to "hire more easily, act more swiftly, and pursue ideas that were previously not possible".

Pop-ups [1] in Niagara launcher do this. However, it comes with other unconventional UI decisions which might or might not be to your liking.

It took me a moment to find, but Alertly claims to do something similar while being open-source. Last commit was made two years ago though.

Just in case you need sources: Kagi is using [1] Yandex and paying them as of June 2025. This is a long-standing position, which was also voiced [2] in November 2024.
Regarding Yandex. The founder sold [3] the assets (seemingly including the index and Yandex trademark) to VK (Mail.ru) in 2022. VK are known supporters of the war [4]. The founder subsequently renamed [5] his original company to Nebius Group and pivoted towards compute for AI.

mailbox.org is based on it.

I was browsing through the issues of extrepo and found deb-get, seems pretty useful too:
> deb-get makes it easy to install and update .debs published in 3rd party apt repositories or made available via direct download on websites or GitHub release pages.

In particular, the list of software is a bit longer than extrepo (e.g. includes zoom):

Keep in mind that using Beeper for Instagram breaks their ToS and often gets your account suspended or banned. This happens with both cloud and local bridges.

Isn't this something we already know from the mass–energy equivalence? In the same way that a nuclear reaction that produces heat must cost the object mass (and therefore gravitational pull)

There's a similar game, but for guessing both the year and the location
Discussed on HN a couple of years ago too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37203511
edit: found another game like OP in the linked thread https://www.chronophoto.app/game.html
