• Years of great track record, consistent position over basically a decade, 7 years of 5-6 digits donations to nonprofits aligned with those objectives: “whitewashing PR”.
• 1 tweet about a different topic: “here is their real position on privacy.”

Sorry, no.

Just in the last few months. Their position has been always crystal clear on this issue. Please stop spreading misinformation for a personal grudge. Even one person who doesn’t switch from Gmail or Outlook to Proton (the closest privacy a friendly replacement) because of your bs is an unnecessary damage.

Do you seriosuly not see how your claim is a nonsequitur? Like, how can someone in good faith quote a sentence that talks about antitrust and who supports big tech or “small tech” and conclude that “Nazis are on his side”, so he must be a Nazi.

I don’t know what more needs to happen for people like you to accept he supports nazis.

For once, he needs to support a Nazi and their Nazi ideas.

Maybe they are just getting started with learning programming, be kind.

Not my experience at all, after living abroad and meeting people from all over Europe. In fact, if anything, many have a overly-romanticized idea about Italy and Italians.

I don’t think yours is a statement that can be expressed generally.

Why you keep posting me articles about the FTC, when the appointee in this discussion was for the department of justice, and has been confirmed a week ago (on 11th I think)?

This is more relevant as the topic was antitrust and breaking monopolies. This still happened before Slater was officially confirmed, and it’s something that was not started now. But at least is relevant.

…who doesn’t consider Italians properly civilized people?

Yes, but who said otherwise then?

Oh OP made it up. Nvm. They write themselves that it is a notion alternative.

None of those tools are editors, right? They all try to be a notion alternative, which is also not an editor. There is basically 0 focus on typesetting.

No, because with the above you can have rich objects in databases (for example, a dynamically updated list of medical events, each with all the attributes I want, attachments etc.), and almost arbitrarily deep nesting of databases. The idea to have databases with pages is one of the key features that made notion successful. It allows to structure knowledge without duplication, in addition to provide some other no-code features.

Spreadsheets are not even close.

I want people with your eloquence in my life to keep me in check with my shit. <3

Saving lives isn’t a “relative concept.” I said nobody will be brought out of poverty from this, which is true.

No it’s not.

The fact that you keep denying it, doesn’t mean I need to debunk jack. You are saying “you can’t be brought out of poverty, because in a global perspective if you earn more than 3$ a day, you are not poor”, or at least, I am paraphrasing. I am saying that’s bullshit, because poverty is a relative concept and you can absolutely be poor even if you are above what is globally considered the threshold of poverty.

I am focusing on this part because it is the basis of your argument. Also:

• you have realistically no idea about the condition of the people who benefit from this
• being in debt is a situation that in itself can cause people to take their own lives, making your statement also arbitrary (no life was saved)

Calling poor people in the first world rich is again, dumb. Deal with this, no organization that focuses on poverty does it, and nobody would consider - say - a welfare check “keeping money on the top”.

I don’t know if you genuinely don’t get class divisions or if you just search for conflict online (I have seen you around…).

You are completely missing the fact that poverty is a relative concept. Using global parameters to decide that poor people in rich countries are rich is so out of touch that I cannot even describe it.

There are whole studies made on the effect of relative poverty, in case you want to expand your horizons.

Also people of that kind love nothing more than being a martyr, which means if the whole decision is not absolutely bulletproof, this has the potential to backfire so much. Not Romanian, but I was listening some opinion piece about this just few days ago.

Fair enough, I am also not attached to kagi, mostly I want companies with good business models to succeed in tech. I want to see ad-revenue based companies (and all the connected industry) to crumble. A man can dream…

But yandex is useful for those who search in Russian. The low utilization probably comes from a mostly US/EU customer base, but when it is used, it is useful. I would disagree with disabling it. The best would be letting people decide what back ends to use, but that requires a whole rewrite of the search logic on their side, so it’s not happening any time soon…

BTW in EU we still use a lot of gas and oil from Russia, so it’s quite difficult to avoid giving them money (especially because we don’t know where energy came from for every product we buy).

I think their customer base is basically 90% made of people that - like me - would quit in a second.

Good thing is that there is no vendor lock, it would be a shame, but changing search engine is quite simple.

Yeah, I agree. In general I will personally try to evaluate if the good that comes from a company succeeding outweighs the fact it’s a US company. I won’t use a dogmatic approach, but I will definitely be careful to choose even more carefully than before.

At least in Europe that’s still quite impossible, who knows what their gas and oil is used to produce. Which means you might buy some european product and also give them money. Anyway, everyone has their lines and I respect that.

I think most people are unaffected from the actual data, unless they search in russian, which is useful for me as a Russian language learner for example. I mostly search grammar stuff.
