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

How so?

That is, I fact, exactly what the judge in this case is saying.

Ever heard of what they had to do to take Rasputin out? I think its that

I mean, we did it with Linux and it didn't cost billions...

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

If only there were some tried and tested method for the working class to join together and create a power block equal to the company in order to negotiate better pay and conditions and avoid these outrageous tactics. Pity

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

😬

Well, because straight earth as in mudbrick (or concrete, normal bricks etc) is not insulation. That's thermal mass. It stores energy. Insulation (like strawbales) slows heat movement. So you need insulation on the exterior and thermal mass on the interior for a properly thermally regulated building.

At 2 inches thick of limestone, you can sure bust it up with a sledgehammer or similar. A punch won't do much more than hurt your hand. Still, if you take tools to the majority of homes they break quite fast.

Couldn't say houw tall they can get but from memory I think I've seen 3 stories? Over that you're talking more full on construction. I've seen a 4 story using super bales that was in an commercial carpentry shop

I built my own strawblae house and have worked on half a dozen others. I have designed 3 award winning homes, one of them was strawbale.

Mice aren't a problem, the walls are sealed with clay (inside) and lime (outside) render, the mice can't get in.

Same with fire, the straw is tight and sealed, they don't burn. In huge bushfires in southern Australia a few years back, several families sheltered I a strawbale home as the fire passed.

Moisture not a problem if you have proper eaves and footings, which you will cos you design it properly, right?

Loads of massive benefits over brick or stick built.

I have no data on wolves sorry, but definitely dropbear proof

Happy to answer any questions.

Why? What difference edoes it make to you who runs the joint?

What a fucking joke. Those monocle wearing cunts at Davos are the biggest threat humanity faces and they fucking know it.

Eat The motherfucking Rich

Haha "entry level school homework Mac" Hahahahaha Sure thing Richy Rich

Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

Linux users install chrome now...?

Also walkable towns and cities. Also public and community spaces. Also strong interconnected communities. All these things are bad for capitalism and the ruling class and their enforcers though so don't expect to see any change in the policy of dismantling communities

M$ can get absolutely fucked
