Creating a nuisance is not a good way to go about it.

Some security practices sometimes feels like someone stabbing you just to prove you could be stabbed. Then they point at the wound and say: "See? You should be more careful."

Yes, the risk is real, but creating harm to demonstrate it isnt the same as protecting people.

That's an interesting perspective, and it does expand how we can interpret the Milgram experiment

That said the study has been replicated many times since the original, with researchers adjusting different parameters like participant screening, changing the gender balance, or varying the roles (teacher/student, researcher/technician...) Across these variations, the overall result stays quite consistent: under certain conditions, ordinary people can be led to do harmful things.

Other experiments have also looked at which factors make this more likely, and for example, diffusing responsibility seems to be one of the most effective ones.

StumbleUpon is that you?

Jokes aside, it's really nice and I can totally see becoming addictive. Kudos to Kagi team for an other user oriented product. (as a side note, I am using Kagi daily and i didn't know about this tool)

Nice. Probably worth making a local copy before it gets taken down.

(Re: legal - why even bother with a court decision when it’s on GitHub? A takedown is much simpler. We've seen this before, like when Meta went after people reverse-engineering their API)

That said there may not be much here thats actually protectable. It's mostly a CLI orchestrating other tools, and the same functionality could likely be reproduced fairly easily, especially with AI.

Still, props to him for writing a proper blog post and explaining the process
