I don’t fully understand, but boy is that graph pretty B)

I am not Chinese nor do I claim to be an expert on Chinese culture. That said, my cousin married a woman from China a few years ago and the family insisted upon a traditional wedding. This involved the gifting of bedding, teas, and a dowry.

Recently, I read a historical fiction novel called “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” that went over a lot of the traditional Chinese wedding traditions, many of which I can only assume are still in practice in some form. Definitely recommend if you’re interested in history, Chinese culture, or feminism.

Yes, and I largely disagree with it :/

I don’t get the impression that Kagi intends to compete with major search engines. It is clearly marketed toward privacy-focused, tech-minded individuals. You can take that one of two ways. Either you are frustrated with the erosion of search engine quality due to advertising, or you disagree with the predatory practices such as data mining that comes along with such advertising. In both cases, the only real way to signal to major search engines that you disagree with these practices is to stop using their services (including their APIs).

For example, I have been using DuckDuckGo for decades. At first, I had to compromise search result quality, but now it has enough users and support that results are on-par with the likes of Google.

I do not think that Kagi is bad or that people should not use it. It simply isn’t for me, because it does not actually address the reasons I do not use search engines like Google.

My issue with Kagi is that it relies on aggregate results from other search engine indices

I’m more referring to the idea of erasing images of homeless people or pride flags, which the article does mention. I know it’s intended as food for thought, and I see the angle, but who is taking a stroll downtown with a headset on?

Unless we move toward a society where everyone is wearing a VR headset 24/7, I don’t think we need to worry about most of the issues mentioned in the article… Still worth a read, but a bit exaggerated

I also have a reMarkable 2—forgot to mention that—and I find the writing experience unparalleled. I don’t imagine the Tab Ultra C replacing the reMarkable, in the sense that I intend to use it more as a “smart” device. If the web browsing experience is not good, perhaps it is not the right choice… Thank you for the feedback!

I spent a summer at a semiconductor company whose scripting language of choice was Perl. Truly, what the fuck…

macOS Safari. No extensions or CSS modifiers, but my system is in Dark Mode.

My opinion: change the unreadable blue-on-black text on your website… Other than that, great list!
