Given that: - Google has been around for 20+ years, so the concept of search engine and the technologies behind it should have been well known. - Computing power and Internet speed has increased significantly and in many homes (at least outside of US) 1Gbps is norm. - Everyone is talking about Google deteriorating over the years and prefer the old Google. The old system from the 2000s should be dirt cheap to run with…

kagi exists for quite some time

I was talking about a self-hosted search engine.

It's Russian. Indirectly you are supporting Putin when you use it. Those sanctions aren't for no reason.

Am I indirectly supporting Trump when I use DuckDuckGo?

I'll give you an introduction to Modern European Ethics™:

If you do something in this world and this life - remember you normally have about 70 years - there is always some detail of what you're doing that is worthy of criticism, shunning, and shaming. Since everything in the world is connected, you can't avoid it.

If however you do nothing in your life or with your life, then there is also nothing which you can be criticized for doing. And you can never be criticized for not doing something. When you die after a life toting the line and having the allowed opinion on every subject and shunning people who do things; then you go to European heaven - which is an eternity of committee meetings in Brüssels.

You should check out hister.org!

Oh it checked multiple boxes I have in mind, and the website UI is really great. I'll definitely give it a try.

Please don't try to machine translate to my local language. The translations are terrible or outright incorrect.

Thanks for reporting this. We’ve used a professional translator for German (though we’ve added many new phrases that haven’t gone through that process since), and we speak Spanish and French (besides English and Portuguese). We use DeepL for the rest but it’s not perfect. What’s your language, and do you know of a professional to help us? If you’d rather reach out to us via email, it also works.

I really like the idea and that it's eu-made a love it. A fee things I see with kagi which are useful and improvements: - Hire a UI/UX person NOW! My parents and gf like using google and kagi because are easy to use. - add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap. My gf is thinking about moving away from kagi because of this. - the quick ai response is extremely useful. - I…

Thank you for your suggestions and support! - Ouch. We get a lot of love for our UI/UX, which I guess just goes to show taste is personal. If you have any particular points of friction, we'd love to hear about them. - Only Serper allows for this, so we're very hesitant. If other providers allowed it, we could definitely consider it. - We won't have Generative AI, sorry. - Could you clarify? - Check out the interview…

I'd be more than willing to subscribe and support the project BUT, I need to address the elephant in the room: The reason why I'm against Kagi is the fact that they use Yandex(be it only for images according to their own words) and I'm sure as hell refusing to give a single cent to them. So I guess my question is: sources?

But is Yandex government owned? What about Russians abroad that send money back home to their families, and a percentage of that ends up going via taxes to Putin? Are we boycotting all Russians everywhere globally?

> But is Yandex government owned?

In fact, yes. Yandex is totally controlled by Putin's presidential administration.

> What about Russians abroad that send money back home to their families

It doesn't seem like a significant factor. The main flow of money into Russia are payments for fossil fuel and trade balance with China.

I also don't use Kagi because of Yandex, and my reason is that it's a Russian company, owned by people close to the Russian government.

I loathe both Russian and American governments, what's a boy to do?

Murder and jaywalking.

No, interacting with Russian people does not mean supporting genocide. Please raise the quality of your comments here :)

What's wrong with Yandex? Is it quality of service being too low? Does the company have tracking records of shady practices, worst than what GAFAM are doing that make customer flee away?

It's Russian. Indirectly you are supporting Putin when you use it. Those sanctions aren't for no reason.

Kagi pays Yandex. So you are supporting directly
