Similar, but I’m not ashamed of having my projects on display, so it’s just ~/projects for me.

Heck, here in the UK, we have a TV licence and the OG ad-free service, the BBC.

Yeah, the BBC has had its fair share of controversies over the years, but I’m still glad it’s there and still ad-free.

Kagi’s AI summariser is pretty good. It cites its sources and, by default, it only kicks in when you search with a ? on the end.

To be fair, I’m pretty impressed with Kagi Search overall. But that’s a topic for a different thread, I think.

All valid points.

I believe in this instance, it’s mainly because they have figured out a way to profit off Linux and that is via their cloud hosting platform. As long as they’re making money, it’s probably fine.

Depends how you define evil? If you mean they’re continuing to Linux in an effort to ensure it works well in their Azure platform which they can charge money for using, then yes?

They’re making all the right decisions though, they know that there is great demand for Linux in the server market, and are happy to allow it to run on their cloud platform to ensure viable competition with the other big players (AWS & Google).

Then in turn, their contributions benefit the open source community as a whole.

The fact they’ve also made .NET Core cross platform and another step in the right direction, as well as making VSCode cross platform too.

What would be nice is if they made desktop Office available. It’s one of the few subscription models that would probably work out well for them as many businesses would probably be happy to run Linux clients with native Office 365 support.

I didn’t know if 300 would be enough, so I ended up with the Professional account. It was a good call as I hit 300 searches in a week!

That being said, Kagi is worth every cent, its search results are much better than many of the underdog search engines, and even out does Google for me on a regular basis. Kagi’s AI results are also really good and also cites its sources so you can fact check yourself. (I think Bing’s copilot does similar, but I wasn’t that impressed with it when I tried it a while ago)

There’s a couple instances that have their heads so far up their own asses that they’ve become their own Adam’s Apple

That’s a phrase I never knew I needed!

Yes, that tends to happen when you remove half the sugar… who’d have thunk it?

There are two ways to manage something like this. This PR creator did all the right things. A clear explanation into the rational for making those changes citing English as a second language. Not “I’m butt hurt because you used the wrong pronouns and I demand changes now!!!1!1!11one!!”.

DOS -> Windows (3.1 through to XP) -> Slackware -> Red Hat -> Fedora -> OpenSUSE -> Ubuntu -> Mint -> Ubuntu -> Arch

It’s been quite the journey.

Exactly, as lest when your distro starts doing things you don’t like, another can easily take its place in your set up.

I have a lifetime licence for both Pro and Ultra features of Apollo. A lifetime that, sadly, looks to be coming to an end this month. Christian Selig was well aware that some users didn’t like the idea of subscriptions and accommodated them as well.

My work machine is macOS as the company won’t let us use Linux. My home machine is Arch Linux (obligatory “BTW”) which I migrated to after Ubuntu dropped Unity and started forcing Snaps on everyone.

However, a nice shameless plug for my Terminal file manager: DF-SHOW which is designed to work on all Unix like systems.

As Lemmings was one of my favourite games growing up, that’s also gets my vote.

Not sure yet, a lot of subs haven’t set up on Lemmy yet. Hoping that’ll change after the blackout next week.
