Thanks! That was quite a read. Had a laugh when I got to this “months later this post is still being shared with people when they ask about Kagi.”

Don’t think its a scam still, just another shitty tech bro start up with no future other than making the founders rich. I guess that’s the scam though isn’t it…?

I think the search is decent, and haven’t used any of the “AI” cos fuck “AI”. Still, with the info in there about privacy and PII, I am going to abandon this experiment and I guess go back to Searx for now?

Thanks again for the info.

What is it that you don’t like about it? I had a look and I’ve been trying it out, and it seems pretty good and not a scam at all

Yeah there 100% is and probably always has been. The yeast strain, the varieties and processing of the barley and hops, the water source, the process etc all make for wildly different products. So a make that has a distinctive and popular beer will absolutely guard the recipe. This was true at least back through the medieval period, and there are some Belgian beers that still have proprietary recipes that are hundreds of years old

Is this happening on Ubuntu, or are people just saying it might happen cos they don’t trust canonical?

Also, Mint Debian edition exists and works just fine. I have it on a brand new Intel laptop

Linux users install chrome now…?
