  • It wasn’t even a business, it was just a huge purchase of tshirts for marketing, apparently, right at the beginning of their startup. Like, I have no idea why you would think distributing t-shirts would build your search engine’s business, let alone doing it when you’re trying to get your technology sorted out and running.

    “Hey, neat shirt, what’s Kagi?”

    “Why, it’s a search engine you pay for that searches other search engines and aggregates the results for you!”

    “For realz, where has this been all my life?!? Sign me up, my brother!”

    And I’ve found SearxNG to provide fantastic results, though I’m using it self-hosted so maybe that’s the difference? I started using it as a test about a month ago, and I’ve converted by default search engine on my machines to it because it’s delivered excellent, un-cluttered results for anything I’ve looked for on technical and non-technical searches.

    In the end, it makes it much more expensive for supplies, reducing the amount they can spend on other fuckery. Yah, they’ll still get them, but when inflation is rampant and you have highly reduced foreign trade reducing available foreign reserves, it makes its mark. Look at Cuba.


  • If you’re on Mint still, that’s X11 fucking you over. AFAIK, Mint hasn’t moved to Wayland, though you might be able to install an experimental session, but I wouldn’t trust it like a distro that’s all-in on Wayland.

    I used to contend with monitors jumping around like a jack russell terrier with X11, never keeping settings, dropping out due to ACPI. Wayland has fixed pretty much everything I had going wrong with that stuff.

    Boot a live USB of some distros that default to Wayland like Fedora, and see how it reacts to screensaving, then make some choices from there.
