  • 300 is low, i agree. but idk, if it’s a free product, then YOU are the product. is my data still being used in ways that profit a few and invade my privacy? probably, but less than google i hope.

    I am on the anti-AI side of things, by nature of being human. and yeah, there’s some AI shit in kagi, as with seemingly all others. but it at least it’s opt-in (i think). i’ve never seen it shoved in my face, which i can’t say for example duckduckgo.

    can’t tell u what price is best for you, or what UI u prefer. but trash? no. google is trash.




  • Maybe (a) AI dystopia, climate collapse, the Great Clanker War, Singularity, etc. (b) Technofeudalism, 2-tier AI models, infinite rent extraction, feed the machine, climate collapse., etc. © revolutionize the means of production and distribution to prioritize planetary thermodynamic balance/cooling, human needs, ecological needs, get our fucking shit together. Or (d), classic nuclear Armageddon. Or something else. Trying to br hopeful out of spite, but not hopeful for luck.

    Mr. FuzzyAss has given me a scratch to itch >:D I wonder though, I hear of talk about invasive species (I’m in NA), lanternflies, lady bugs, even cats and dogs.

    But like… should I be squishing these guys? Lanternflies yes (I think), but idk, there’s a chance FuzzyAss is native so…

    I wonder what the Top 3 are. I can’t remember the whole list lol

    You sound more informed than me, but that’s about where I’m at too lol. I couldn’t see where that infographic originally came from, but I’ve spent the day reading the Wikipedia articles on these guys. Supposedly, lady beetles from all over were introduced to kill aphid populations, to varying degrees of success. It ended up harming native populations more, ofc. I guess by being better at eating prey? (Skill issue?)

    Okay, that’s what I thought too. But then I came across this, do u think it might be a native lady beetle? Found on a reddit post (from image searching). I only ask since I’m getting more and more confused lol, I don’t see an M mark on my lil dude
