The very first thing I did with Kagi was block Pinterest. Very satisfying to see that the top 6 most blocked domains are all Pinterest.


I use bitwarden and I don't understand the question.

My phone gives me a popup on text boxes to enter credentials. There's also a bitwarden button on my keyboard. I scan my thumb and it signs me in.

On my desktop browser, I get a badge on the bitwarden button when it detects a site it has credentials for. Two clicks signs me in. Three if my session times out and I need to put in my master password.

I have a single unique and complex password that I have to remember, and I have recovery keys stored in a physically safe location.

Bitwarden generates complex passwords with a single click, and has excellent integration with the browser.

Password management is sane. You can just use a good password manager and understand how to protect your single master password. Which basically just means never, ever type that password into anything other than your password manager.

ETA: bitwarden also syncs seamlessly between my half dozen different devices/installs. It works everywhere, and if I really cared to I could set up my own server so as to not rely on Bitwarden's infrastructure.


I keep trying to use Jetbrains Gateway. It spins up the IDE on a remote machine and renders it locally.

I honestly can't find a use for it. My personal machines are ancient quad core setups, but I have a beefy server at my disposal.

But the benefit of faster build times isn't worth the hassle. Between the suboptimal performance of the remote interface, syncing files back to my local machine, and all of the little idiosyncrasies of setting up the remote environment, it's still faster to develop locally. I just go grab a glass of water when I start my compile.

This might make more sense if you're working on some C++ monstrosity with millions of lines of code that takes hours to build on a mainframe, but if you're in the region of minutes per build, there's just no benefit.

Or I guess if all you have is a thin client, this might be better than nothing. But then again, you can get an IDE and compiler for most languages on an android tablet. If you have a machine with a processor, it can compile your code.


Consumers can only make a choice if there is a choice.

If nobody sells a TV that doesn't spy on you and play ads because of collusion, or simply because it's the single best profit optimizer, how do consumers regulate the market? The only option is for nobody to buy a TV ever again, which clearly won't happen.

Capitalism requires external regulation, otherwise we get monopolies and collusion that remove choice so that consumers have no option other than to pay too much for something that doesn't work well enough.

"The market" isn't a fairy godmother with your best interests in mind. It's a senseless machine that can only optimize for more paperclips forever. It's fundamentally incapable of doing anything else without external input.


> If nobody sells a TV that doesn't spy on you and play ads because of collusion, or simply because it's the single best profit optimizer, how do consumers regulate the market? The only option is for nobody to buy a TV ever again, which clearly won't happen.

Someone can start a new TV producing company to break the collusion. Or even just make a clever router that filters out the spying.

> Capitalism requires external regulation, otherwise we get monopolies and collusion that remove choice so that consumers have no option other than to pay too much for something that doesn't work well enough.

Real world regulation is responsible for more monopolies and collusion than 'capitalism' ever was.

Yes, you can come up with some nirvana regulation that's perfect. Just like we can come up with some 'nirvana' scenario for the market that's perfect. That doesn't prove very much either way.

> "The market" isn't a fairy godmother with your best interests in mind. It's a senseless machine that can only optimize for more paperclips forever. It's fundamentally incapable of doing anything else without external input.

The market is consumers and producers interacting. They provide the 'external input'.

If consumers want paperclips and are willing to pay for them, that's what they get. If consumers want quality products, that's what they get.


Threatening to cut off internet to Ukraine in the middle of a war, casing journalists off twitter, chasing black, queer, and other marginalized people off twitter and allowing racists and bigots to take over, unbanning people posting kiddie porn, or people inciting armed conflict. Firing hundreds of people and not paying them, not paying bills, firing a spotlight into people's apartments from twitter HQ. Starting an entire company to drill tunnels for no reason other than to disrupt plans for a train network. Disregarding all advice and blasting a concrete pad into high velocity fragments and causing widespread damage. Pushing faulty self-driving cars that kill people.

Yeah, sounds great


> chasing black, queer, and other marginalized people off twitter and allowing racists and bigots to take over,

Pretty much every claim you made is misleading or false, but this one is particularly egregious. That never happened, but a lot of people like to repeat the same lies in unison pretending it did


Unbanning Donald Trump and Kanye West.


Wait. So your "evidence" for that claim is the act unbanning a black person and a former president?

You're effectively telling me that the claim is invalid


lol concrete pad. Wow, really scraping the bottom of the barrel there aren't you? How did this affect you negatively exactly?


So you're fine with kiddie porn on twitter then?


No, in fact they have been far more aggressive in getting rid of that stuff than before.


> No, in fact they have been far more aggressive in getting rid of that stuff than before.

How is Twitter unbanning someone, who was banned for posting child pornography, being more aggressive in getting rid of it?.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/27/twitter...

>> Experts said that even photos that are partially obscured, such as the image shared by the influencer, typically qualify as illegal child sex abuse material, or CSAM.

>> In fact, the image in question had drawn more than 3 million views and 8,000 retweets, according to Twitter statistics on a cached version of the tweet from Tuesday.


Hmmm.

It would be more accurate to say that they have been more aggressive in preventing third party observers to track CSAM on twitter:

Twitter Failing To Deal With Child Sexual Abuse Material, Says Stanford Internet Observatory (Jun 6, 2023,)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2023/06/06/twitt...

* Researchers at the Stanford Internet Observatory say the company failed to deal with 40 items of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) over a period of two months between March and May this year.

* Research such as this is about to become far harder—or at any rate far more expensive—following Elon Musk’s decision to start charging $42,000 per month for its previously free API.


There's no kiddie porn on Twitter


Those two options are not mutually exclusive


As opposed to its previous star?


Old Hebrew word for sun is Shamash. Tablets of Shamash give a hint.


Hold up, we've identified a mechanism that all cancer cells posses and healthy cells don't? That's almost unbelievable.

I wonder how something like that comes about? Is there something special about that isoform that is necessary for tumor growth or what?


Hear me out: superconducting railgun for launching multi-ton payloads to supply a lunar colony without rockets


Don't confuse sustainable with profitable
