Hell yeah! Just in time too. I'm on my first playthrough of the metro exodus.

I do and I like the results? Like, I get how we have to be cautious with closed-source private services. This just reads to me as clickbait to put down on people that use kagi lol. Also searxng isn't really private either as you can't be sure what your instance is actually running, and self-hosting just links everything to your IP as other people mentioned...

Yeal I get it, I find it hard to rely on online recommendations too. But still, I find it funny that I personally haven't seen any kagi comment and you have seen enough already to grow skeptical. Because of that, and because I have enjoyed using it, I wanted to share it. Could have gone deeper on the reasons I like it but it would sound more forced/advertisy imo (e.g. "For only xyz per month you get 100% private reliable results with xyz features. I have used it for xyz months and it has never failed" etc).

Still kinda annoying to get implied to be a bot/paid rando when sharing something cool but that's the web

Edit: I took a second looks to other comments and I can see that kagi is indeed mentioned quite a bit so nvm that. I'm glad to hear more people are starting to use it now :)

That's a fair point. The whole point of needing an account and paying for the service is that personal data plays no role in their business model. This requieres trust from their users but I'm willing to do so as fuck google (obv) and ddg and other alternatives I've tried give noticeable worse results...

Lol as if that tiny company could afford that kind of stuff. Also what do you mean unorganic as the thread in question is talking about search engines? Ironically, I commented the kagi suggestion cause I barely never see it mentioned in these threads and I genuinely find it super cool and I'd like more people to try it... guess you can't give suggestions anymore?

The family plan (w/ unlimited searches) is better value. Also the whole point of charging upfront is that personal data plays no role on its business model. Ofc there's still the risk of it being acquired but the userbase (even if small atm) is still growing and (allegedly) is now profitable.

Kagi works great for me. 100% worth it, best engine I've tried.

And the trade overview, which is a very good addition imos

A trade overview in the development screen will list all the previous transactions done by the region.

Swiss trains are great! Super punctual and frequent, but they are kinda slow! Japan has 300km/h trains! Imagine being able to go from Lausanne to Zurich in less than an hour!

Still, swiss trains are the best trains I've ridden (never been to Japan).

You might have a point with this one. In fact, there are a ton of private companies already successfully running public transport systems. I think most people (myself included) just wouldn't trust a company like Uber for this kind of job. I guess in the meantime we can be happy for (potentially) more bus routes but still weary.
