I used it a while back. It was completely useless. None of the apps want you to use them this way so you’re dealing with constant intentional roadblocks they put up for you and constantly logging you out.

Further, I see zero point at all in using Signal when all of your metadata is just being logged on Beeper’s servers anyway.

Are you in Texas?

Okay?

I didn’t say that you or anyone else should boycott Kagi

I don’t know what else you could have possibly been trying to say…

Nobody is blaming them personally

That’s exactly what you’re doing. Most govts are guilty of wars for stupid reasons. Better boycott everything, I guess?

Boycott everyone! Don’t buy anything! Just squat on some land in the woods and live off the land until you die from dysentery!

It’s planned to be open source in the future. Who knows really. Just thought it was an interesting development for Linux.

No like I can’t even load a YouTube video. And it crashed several times.

they want the ability to slip in some proprietary components

Why is that?

We have wildly different definitions of the word discrimination.

LOL I don’t know what else you could possibly call it.

Discriminatory? Are you for real?

Are you? You’re discriminating against an entire country, 146 million people, based on the actions of their government?

So anyone who does business with a Russian company is “sponsoring the Russian war”? Seems a bit discriminatory.

Not yet but they’re working on it:

https://github.com/OrionBrowser

Orion is the browser from Kagi. Notably it is based on Apple’s webkit (I think GNOME web is the only other one available for Linux) and supports extensions from both Firefox and Chrome.

Using it very briefly I’d say it’s more like Alpha currently…

I’m honestly regularly shocked at how many people use Chrome on Linux. Turns out many people actually use Linux for the user experience and flexibility, and not for privacy.

WinBoat is just a Windows VM. So it will work but you won’t be able to connect it to anything that’s not also in that VM. Might as well just dual boot Windows.

You can save buckets of money looking for used hardware. I got a crazy nice laptop from Craigslist for <$300.

If you can, bring a live USB stick with you and test it out before you purchase. Check peripherals like wifi, audio, camera, bluetooth, etc.

Extremely annoyed at users who expect FOSS devs to go through the rigamarole of paying the Apple tax, and getting Apple’s permission to have the privilege of making it available to their customers.
