Monopolies don’t require 100% of a market. Just enough to effectively manipulate a market.
One firm might only be 10% of a market. But if every other firm is only 1-2%, that 10% will have an outsized monopolistic ability to manipulate that market.

Really? No personal information like name, address, phone number, search history, YouTube viewing habits, or emails? None of that stuff
Signal is fine for instant messaging.
Matrix is closer to Discord.
I’m fully aware, and disagree.
Someone else called it a Slippery Slope. That’s closer, but still not quite right.
It’s actually Reductio ad Absurdum.
Which is a useful thought exorcise when analyzing many ideas.
Is it?
Are you saying you would support bad people under the right circumstances?
It’s your idea.
All I did is assume all good people agree with you.
Do you think they’d stop being bad people if they couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?
Do you feel better knowing they aren’t getting your money? Even at the cost of them ever doing anything good for anyone?
Is it harm reduction if all the bad people couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were living on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?
I’m sure a few bad people make a living maintaining it, and all the roads you depend on everyday.
Bad people are everywhere, doing all sorts of jobs you appreciate.
It sounds like you’re arguing that bad people shouldn’t be paid to anything good.
Sometimes terrible people can do good things.
Those good things should be supported.
Judge a project on it own merits.
People still use the Autobahn.
Kagi AI generated summary. (I had to do it)
The web has become an extraordinary public resource, but it is now at risk of being destroyed by the advent of AI. Generative AI models like large language models (LLMs) are disrupting the traditional relationship between writers/creators and their audiences. LLMs can synthesize answers to queries, cutting out the original creators and leading to the rise of “large language model optimization” (LLMO) - manipulating AI outputs to serve special interests. This threatens to degrade the quality of information on the open web, as creators may stop producing content for the public commons. To preserve the web, search engines need to act more like publishers, platforms need to nurture human creative communities, and AI developers must recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy web ecosystem for their own benefit.
Exactly! We need HIPPA style laws covering all personal data.
That article was far more clear than their own. “Joining Forces” as they called it, could mean almost anything. But “Acquiring” Standard Notes to add to their services actually explains what’s happening.
If it follows the SimpleLogin acquisition as they implied, it’ll still be a separately branded product that’s added to a Proton Ultimate subscription. So that’s cool.
So it doesn’t actually matter if Kagi can do something SearXNG can’t.
It’s cheaper. No argument with that.
So I only have to find one thing Kagi can do, that SearXNG can’t?
Then what?
It always seemed like a massive amount of money and effort, to replace a couple dozen low wage workers. In the end it didn’t even do that.
Notification controls on android are pretty great in my experience.
Most apps (good ones anyway) breakdown different types of notifications, and you can turn off the ones you don’t want. And if they don’t, you can just turn off all notifications for that app entirely.
It all works pretty well.
There are no other RCS clients, just Google Messages.
