Yeah. I hope it can compete with the bigger search engines someday.

I do like SearXNG over Kagi due to their prcing and AI bs but Kagi really just has better search results.

There are no recommendation algorithms like in YouTube or TikTok here, if posts that are alike and get sonewhat the same amount of high votes, you most likely will see them one after the other. There isn’t a way around it really.

Anyways, it’s better if you subscribe to communities and mainly uss the subscribed feed along with a good algorithm like Scaled (gives a boost to posts in communities that aren’t as active as the others) or maybe just Active.

I rarely use the All feed, only when I try to find new communities honestly.

agreed

Sure.

Self host your own database and synchronize it that way.

I’d have to disagree on that one

Convenience or privacy? Choose.

You can store them in the browser locally.

Well, yeah. It’s pretty much the same as SearXNG. Except paid, closed source and needs an account to function. The results are better though, I’ll give you that.

…and the pricing is absurd. I’d like to disable all the AI bullshit and get a discount.

If it was self hostable, I’d always recommend it over SearXNG. Let’s say that it’s a better but closed source and paid SearXNG alternative.

Normal distros

• Pop!_OS
• Mint
• Fedora
• Ubuntu

Gaming distros

• Garuda
• Bazzite
• Nobara

…or any other distro really. I’ve been gaming on vanilla arch linux. It’s pretty stable and low maintenance once you’re done setting it up and don’t tinker much and have backups with something like Timeshift in place. archinstall script makes it really easy to install vanilla arch linux with everything essential configured.

What nonsense is that?

but federated and open source

cool

AI means Artificial Intelligence.

Nowadays people think that AI is only chatbots like ChatGPT, which are just LLMs.

edit: fixed mistake

I got that from my middle school. Mine is red.

There’s JMP.chat or SMSPool (rentable non-VOIP) which accepts Monero.

KDE Plasma.

GNOME kind of looks nice but is too strict on customization.

Whatever nonsense gen alpha started saying these days.

bird?

Or they stop whining about how it would be very hard to contribute the ATProto features into ActivityPub and switch from ATProto to ActivityPub
