I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Does it? I haven’t seen complaints about bricking, and limine should make it trivial to undo a bad update. It wouldn’t need a redownload
Also these stats aren’t based on downloads


I’m not familiar with Manjaro, what was wrong with it?


Limine is also a good reason for people who want the benefits of Arch but are worried about bad updates. Being able to rollback to an earlier snapshot in the boot menu is nice for new users
This one probably needs a NSFW filter, for “I was eating” reasons 😅
Instead of buying a new printer, can you print at a local print shop/library/university? That might end up being the cheapest option


Why are they so hell bent on finding a reason to scan eyeballs
A few months later it is then
Thank you!
I was curious about what parts of it felt alpha, whether it’s the power user features vs basic browsing.
I’ll just try it later and report back 😄
Well that’s not great :(
Using it very briefly I’d say it’s more like Alpha currently…
Is it usable as a daily browser, or should I wait a few more months before trying it out?
Edit: see the reply on my comment
I’m not sure if I understood this criticism. The Reddit thread links to this page:

Our image search became even better with the inclusion of two more sources: Yandex Image Search (widely recognized as one of best image search services) and Openverse (vast collection of openly licensed images). Kagi is doing the hard work so that you don’t have to.
Are they financially supporting or sponsoring Yandex in some other way?
To me, this sounds like they added the option to run an image search on Yandex? I use a browser extension for image searches that has a number of options including Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, Sogou, etc., and users are free to choose which ones they want to try searching on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search_by_image/
I also remember seeing Bellingcat (who has done excellent investigative reporting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine) using Yandex tools to gather information because it has information on the region that other English/Chinese focused tools don’t.
I don’t doubt that Yandex tries to manipulate information in favor of the government in Russia. Rather with the right browser protections, someone can take advantage of their free tools and cost Yandex money without Yandex benefiting from it. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for Kagi to let people do that?
Neat :D
That’s not the only feature: if you place a file named .XCompose in your home directory, you can add custom combinations! So, if I want to send a heart, I can just hit Compose < 3 and I will get a ♥. Besides emoji, I also find myself often looking up various arrows and punctuation: now I can simply hit Compose - > and get a nice → arrow quickly.
From what I remember, they were going to “use AI” to handle moderation. It felt like a grift from the beginning


This is one of the questions we asked on our census this year. We are still working on cleaning the data, and we may exclude additional responses if we identify more duplicates / errors, but here is a preview of those results:

It depends on the field and where you are in your career. From my university, it seemed like the computer science and business people needed to be on LinkedIn, while the other sciences did not. It also becomes less important as you progress in your career, since there will be better ways to share your experience
Fingerprint readers and touchscreens can be hit or miss for Linux support.
I think this is a list of supported readers. When you get a shortlist of devices you want to purchase, compare its fingerprint reader with this list: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html

Do the senior engineers NOT sign off on changes to systems that can take down the production servers? Even if we take out the LLM created code, this sounds like a bigger problem

Hmm, could we do away with months and just number the weeks from top to bottom? Or better yet, number the days.
Happy 2026-77 everyone!
At the same time, weeks do let us organize our working and non working schedules neatly.
