    It seems tacked on pretty quickly - I would have expected they try a little more legalese regarding what counts as a "user interface".

    Kagi is still by far the best results for me, particularly for engineering content and worth every dollar. DuckDuckGo results are even more frustrating than the currently-terrible …

    I also love the ability to prioritize domains. I push docs.rs up because otherwise I often get the crates.io page which I never want. And I push GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg sites up so …

    The actual cost is shrinkage from general human accounting mistakes and all the extra time it takes to manage. I worked at the gym in college and we sold like one item a day and it…

    Some mixed reports on this, but supposedly they are only putting an (easily-bypassed) firmware on the devices sold to the Chinese domestic market.
