More interested in the Summarization API. There is no way to control the summary generation though, like, specifying that I am only interested in certain kinds of information.

Re: Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
#362Is there a dark mode? The example ( https://kagi.com/search?q=steve+jobs ) doesn't seem to respect my system theme on macOS.
Interesting example for a search. I found a few things that seem like bit like basic misses: * the regular wikipedia as the first result, and the mobile version of the same page as fourth one * Links to https://steveblank.com/2009/06/18/epitaph-for-an-entrepreneu... , which never mentions Steve Jobs * the above link also has the wrong date attached (Kagi thinks it was published Jul 17, 2023)
We’ve chosen imperfect examples for a reason. That is what Kagi looks like on average so you know what to expect.
Re: Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
#363This is pretty cool. I tried Kagi once and liked it, but ran out of my monthly search allowance within a few days. Apparently I make 20x more searches than the average user... So even if I paid, I wouldn't have enough. And I don't like the idea that I'm paying for every web search. It'd add a weird friction that I think would inhibit my flow. Admittedly $10 still seems kinda steep for something I get for free already…

And this is why surveillance capitalism is so effective.
If it helps, think about it in yearly terms. They offer a small discount for annual payments. Is $108 per year an amount you are really going to miss, for something that gives you daily (even hourly) value?
(I get that for many many many people in the world, $108 is a significant sum, even yearly, but I expect that most of us here are luck enough to not be in that boat.)
Re: Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
#364Happy customer here. Kagi is by far the best search engine there is. When I first started using Kagi a year ago or so, I compared results with Google every now and then. Now? Never. 10 bucks a month for a tool that I use multiple times every single day is more than reasonable. The results hit home virtually every time. There are variety of features to customize your searches but truthfully, I never found the need for…
> 10 bucks a month for a tool that I use multiple times every single day is more than reasonable. This number really varies based on where you live, and there is no pricing model that accounts for this. I suppose it is mostly just aimed at Americans.
>This number really varies based on where you live
No, it varies based on who you are. Even poor countries are full of rich people. They are usually part of the reason why their countries are poor.

The Steam Deck is Linux and runs a large majority of games. You can do it on your laptop with Proton. It's amazing. Even weird stuff like Mass Effect Remastered (which requires EA Play client) works on Linux now.
Unfortunately 'the majority of games' wont include whatever fotm rando game my friends are inviting me to this time. If gaming was strictly a solo activity for me I would have gotten rid of windows a long time ago.
Almost all the games I play are these random multiplayer games with friends. In my experience, proton is only a blocker around 5% of the time. I still have a windows partition for those times (and I always laugh when I boot it and am "welcomed" by their "Let's take a moment to configure windows" garbage).
Just saying, if you have the HDD space, I'd say give dual booting a shot. you'll probably be surprised how usable Linux is for gaming these days.
Re: Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
#366"Unlimited" positioning rubs me the wrong way. It really means "until we deem to be no longer reasonable for personal use".
Like what they did earlier this year.

#367Everyone ok with your searces tied to your credit card?
Kagi does not associate searches with an account [1]
You can also pay for it with Bitcoin/Lightning to achieve full anonymity if this is desired.

I hear you. Hopefully with the Deck getting more popular, developers will be forced to ensure compatability.

My favorite was when they wanted everyone to switch over from Internet Explorer to Edge (this was before support was dropped), so attempting to search "Internet Explorer" in the start menu caused it to override it with Edge instead. This of course was quite annoying because we still had many applications at the time that (unfortunately) required Internet Explorer. It was even more annoying because when attempting to…

This was at least several months before, maybe more.
I'm not actually sure they even fully removed it. It seems pretty impossible to open, but as one of our users showed me if they open one of our HTA files and clicked a link in it, Internet Explorer happily opens up despite even being blocked with Group Policy.
Re: Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
#370Three years ago, I migrated from Gmail to FastMail because I was afraid of losing access to my digital life on Google's whim. Two years ago, I found out that my favorite Youtube creators were all on Nebula. One year ago, I switched my phone to LineageOS to get security updates a little longer. A month ago, I installed OpenStreetMaps because Google Maps got really bad at showing points-of-interest. And today, Kagi rem…
>It feels really nice using products that respect me, as opposed to services that are actively hostile because of advertisers.
Hot take, but IMO Windows has far more respect for the user than Linux does.
Everything is far more QA'd (and designed to be QA-able) and at least tries to minimise user frustration. There are exceptions to this, like "suggestions" in the Start menu, but outside of this it's designed in a user-first way.
(Desktop) Linux, on the other hand, seems to be more of an intellectual experiment designed to please the people who are writing it rather than a consumer-focused product. Performing basic tasks are unnecessarily complex, entire design paradigms are thrown out on a whim and compatibility issues continually arise because there's no single dominant standard.
