I became a paying subscriber for kagi today. The way I justify the cost is it's saved me time digging up technical information at work and that increase in efficiency is worth money to me. Also, I hate ads and SEO crap, and $5 isn't really that much these days. I'm trying to reduce my reliance on Google so it's nice having an actual superior search experience, even if I have to spend a little money for it.
I'm still on my trial period but I think I'm going to pay when it runs out, I've been really happy with it so far. I think it's saved me a good chunk of time at work I would have wasted digging through Google SEO crap so it feels like it's worth spending a few bucks on.
Thanks for the link!
Can you share your argument with Stross? I've always enjoyed his writing.
Poker Face and Mrs. Davis are both good but that's all that comes to mind for me.
I miss the old massdrop. They used to be awesome and do interesting things.
I don't remember the numbers but their ads division has been showing massive growth over the past several years, they make billions selling ads these days.
That was quite the rabbit hole, I had no idea a global cabal of neonazi "Satanists" was spawned in Shropshire back in the late 1960s. I poked around Amazon and you can still currently purchase their books, which look completely ridiculous but have mostly positive reviews.
Not quite a disaster but a credit card got hacked, my Microsoft account was locked for suspicious activity, and I received a very targeted phishing attempt for my banking credentials. I'm now a paid subscriber of Bitwarden, set up a shared vault with my partner, and have 2 yubikeys arriving later this week.
It's the song that was playing when I first made the account and couldn't think of anything that wasn't already taken.
Yes, if I didn't know any details about what specifically happened or where in the house it happened. I think I would just put it out of my mind and never think about so it wouldn't ever bother me. If I knew too much I could see it coming to mind more easily and potentially being an issue for me.

Potentially. They are denying it's true, and I don't think any more evidence has come out besides this one claim.
