Use 500k to get my foot in the door at one of the 0% tax havens (they often require >=500k investment to get a legal entity representation). Use the other 500k + my savings to rake in the expended 500k at 0% tax via investments. Pay you back on time and be left with a 0% tax haven foothold that’ll make me +20-30% on anything I’ll invest in the future, compared to what I’d gain on investments right now due to taxation in my country.
Oh. Nobody mentioned “Rolo Tomassi” yet! One of my all-time favorites. Saw them live, too. A 1.50m petite lead singer with a voice from Hell. Love them so hard!
Have the same issue with them. I recently churned from Kagi after being a paying Pro customer. 10,-/month is simply too much. I’m paying for email (1,-/month) and web hosting (1,-/month) and web search should be in that price range to make it an attractive offer for people.
I wrote to Kagi saying as much when I churned (also criticizing that most of their changelog messages are about LLM updates for “Ultimate” customers), but they responded saying that they believe in their offer and that the trajectory of new users signing up gives them confidence.
I am, however, not willing to shell out Streaming Service level pricing (services that stream hundreds of GB to me every month) for some web searches.
As much as it pains me due to Brave being involved in the whole crypto scam business and their CEO apparently being another a**hole tech fascist, I am using Brave Search for now. Its results were not inferior when I compared them to Kagi and I don’t need 95% of all the extra fluff that Kagi offers.
As soon as there’s an offer for private search results with their own index that is not censored nor ad-driven, that company (maybe Kagi!) will have my money. But it needs to be commodity-priced like mail or hosting.
Maybe I have bad Wedding karma? Why Yes, I’m divorced myself. 😆
Hard +1. Physically violent and later sexually abusive priests working in my private Catholic school.
Fist fight between the two families in the evening. Marriage annulled within 2 days.
Father-In-Law (divorced) giving a drunken speech about how marriage is a mistake, followed by his ex-wife / mother-in-law giving a drunken speech about how marriage is a mistake and how the bride is not good enough for her son. Divorced within a few years.
Thank you! Precisely my thoughts. I was a paying Kagi customer for a year, but compared to e.g. Brave’s on search index, their results were not vastly superior. I never got into using all those fancy search !bangs or custom prioritizations for individual sites and >90% of their changelog updates in that 1 year were about which additional new LLM was now also available for Ultimate Tier customers - but I didn’t come to Kagi for LLM assistants. That’s didn’t use to be their value proposition.
POSIX and shell functions can get us very far indeed. At least, not everthing’s an object in Bash. :P
I am also pretty confused about this. Any idea why the usual releases aren’t available?
As long as I can still customize Gnome with some extensions for improved focus, it’ll stay my DE of choice.
“The check is in the mail”
Yes! No.1 reason: microphone quality! I have to attend many calls every day and no Bluetooth headset (BT v.4 > 5.3, SPS, AAC, LDAC) has even come close to the simple quality of a ~25,-€ wired headset.
“Because you’ll be together”.

It was like finding razorblades if you are in a really razorblade-y kinda mood.
Shorter is not necessarily better: “THE Fall” from the early 2000s was a much better value-per-minute movie. :P
Poco X3 NFC with LineageOS.
200,-€ price, excellent photo quality if paired with fitting GCAM mod (AGC) plus config. Powerful enough as daily driver, privacy-frieendly enough after some simple changes, runs everything I need & if it drops & breaks (2 kids at home…) it’s an affordable loss (I’m diligent about backups).
Because the one is legal while the other is not. That’s all we need to know about the system we live in, no?
