Made me feel a little unwell at the beginning as well, but considering that the search is one of the main, key features I use daily, multiple times, it is totally worth it.

I pay for a search engine, but:

  • High quality search results
  • No ads
  • High customizability
  • No weird SEO optimized Website results which help me not at all and I lose hours in a year clicking them by accident
  • Did I mention no ads or sponsored content?

Kagi, hands down, is by far the best search engine I've ever used (next to Neeva, which got bought and shut down).

Just simple searches like "Best gaming headphones" or "Realtek Driver Download" and comparing them with Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage, etc. shows how the quality of the results are far superior.

And you can directly define, which sites you'd like to see higher / more results of or less - or even completely block or pin them to the top.

Also, it also shows you directly, before visiting a site, in colors if a site has a very high number of ads and/or trackers.

And they support for power users custom CSS to adjust everything, URL rewrites (e.g. change all Reddit URLs to old.reddit), DDG and custom bangs, and much more.

Very satisfied with it, can only recommend.

Oh yes... And I hate it. I see every little flaw in movies, games but even things outside which aren't well made or slightly off.

Slight stutters in games, if it doesn't run super smooth, it drives me crazy.

Oh, yes, there is - there will be a season 8 and 9.

The new episode of season 8 starts July 25 and continues weekly.

So good? Like?

Don't have anything specific installed for Reddit. It's actually a screenshot from my smartphone with only uBlock and Dark Reader installed.

 

As you know, part of the protest includes us users not accessing Reddit at all.

My curiosity got me and I opened r/all.

Here's a screenshot, so you don't have to open Reddit.

I guess most racing games all allow simultaneous kb/joystick?

Yes, they do. Didn't see any specific game which does not - especially since I used a similar setup with my Steam Controller, which did keyboard, mouse and analog controller input.

It also works with non-specific analog I out games, like GTA V.

I have a Wooting keyboard myself. It's an amazing keyboard for writing, casual usage and gaming.

If you play any games using analog input, like racing games, it's the best you can get next to a controller.

Also, the keyboard does not need any weird software running in the background, you do all settings and firmware updates on their website, without installing anything.

That's what I expect to happen as well. Nothing stops them from kicking out the current mods / admins, replacing them with new mods willing to take over and continue as before (or even use AI moderation tools to minimize the efforts).

 

Quote:

Originally, the protest was planned to be 48 hours. However, after a shambolic AMA held by Reddit's CEO, it has become clear to us that Reddit doesn't intend to act in good faith. When the CEO is willing to lie and spread libellous claims about another third-party developer, and then try double down by vilifying them, again, in an AMA, despite being proven as a liar by the developer through audio recordings, that's when we knew what we were up against. Therefore, the subreddit will be privatised until such time as a reasonable resolution is proposed.

That's what I wonder as well. Probably they'll be satisfied with bringing down the Invidious project website, including their documentation and installation files.

Lemmy is more of a Reddit alternative, where you have the focus on communities/categories (similar to "subreddits") to which you can subscribe to, while Mastodon is more a Twitter alternative, focusing on users to follow.

Kbin is actually slightly special.

It is also running on the Fediverse network, but can communicate with multiple other services. Meaning, it can show you content from all Lemmy instances (called Threads) and content from Mastodon (called Microblog). You can see this thread there as well.

By using Kbin, you have access to both worlds, Lemmy and Mastodon. In addition, it supports even more of the so-called "ActivityPub" services, like Pleroma or Peertube.

While I love the implementation of Kbin, it still has small hiccups here and there - it feels less reliable/stable. Some content isn't fully updated, like this post missing most of the comments at the time I posted this. They even warn you about it: "The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance."

I had the best experience so far by using a Lemmy instance for Lemmy and a Mastodon instance for Mastodon. Waiting for Kbin to be more mature.

This is a critical feature missing. Especially considering when one instance goes down, so does your account.

If announced, we should be able to easily transfer the account.

But an instance might also go down unannounced (especially now with so many hosting instances just for fun or to experiment with it).

While in such a case your posts and comments on this local instance will be gone, there needs to be a way to recover your account on another instance with all your posts and comments made on other instances still connected to your account, being editable or deletable.
