Yeah I’ve been a Kagi subscriber since they opened up. My normal usage is perplexity when I want details about a topic summarized and Kagi when I am looking for a website.
Kagi also has some ethical concerns; like a shitty attitude towards compromises to support human safety (refusing to add suicide prevention links comes to mind) but the perplexity guy just took it to another level.
I assume that they’re still benefiting from your use via analytics and training data.
Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.
I’m pretty sure that we’re friends now by law.
Now if only they could add “swipe to go back” to their Linux client. Only thing keeping me off of Vivaldi these days.
Are you me? I’m also a lazy tech schlub now who was formerly a paint store warehouse worker, home renovation worker, etc.
Fully agree that everyone going into tech should spend real time working hard labor and retail. I genuinely feel that my non-tech experiences made me a better person and a better tech schlub.
I remember tech coworkers complaining that the wall filled with free snacks and candy didn’t have the right kind of snacks and candy, and having to hold myself back from going full Everett True.
Did I even watch the movie which hasn’t come out yet? I’m pretty sure I know which of us is a bot.
No.
Bring back my hopeful vision of the future Star Trek, I’m all done with this new wave.
The cult of Stallman continues to baffle me. The man is venom in the veins of the free software community and people just adore him.
I love the ideals of the free software movement but RMS is so toxic that I won’t associate myself with it while he’s tolerated.
Careful now, “good faith” is religiously charged and implies that God is the source of all good intent, you’re gonna set this person off with that.
(/s hopefully obviously)
I love this. Full stop.
We need more clean, minimal design like this across the web.
