Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.

I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.

I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.

For now it’s DDG I guess. :-(

If your goal is to get away from this AI shit show, Kagi might not be the answer, according to their own blog.

I will search for a very interesting article you should read, before deciding to give kagi any money.

Edit: found it

In Germany you are only allowed to shoot your pulse laser with 24 giga-watt max. I guess it’s an EU law, so should be the same for all of europe.

E.g. in germany it is not allowed to fly over private property with a drone (equipped with a camera), no matter the height. You have to stay above offical streets. And maximum flight hight is 120 m, if I remember correctly.

I guess it’s EU law, so it should be simmilar in other EU countries.

You are right, banning private cars for only a few streets would be a great success for any city.

Lower hanging fruits would be to allow bikes to drive in both directions in one way streets, put some asphalt on cobble stone streets, get an inner city speed limit of 30 km/h, use many zebra crossings, design narrower streets (the narrower the street, the faster a driving person feels, without going faster), remove parking space in the inner city and make cars park outside of the center,…

Many many things that should be done before even starting to try to regulate ‘rude teens on ebikes’ with idiotic ideas presented here (driver license for ebikes?!)

The fast ebike problem would solve itself with an infrastructure that stops favoring cars and starts to seperate pedestrians and bikes with the gained space.

Awful aggro my ass, you cunt.

But jokes aside: I interpreted the comment like they put teens on ebikes and our car favoring infrastructure on the same level. Those two problems are so far apart, that I think that my response isn’t too harsh, or even ‘Awful aggro’ (That’s an awfully aggro interpretation of my comment, by the way).

Alphas benutzen keine Meta-Produkte!

Your list of ideas what we actually can do is pretty short, we obviously need to spread more information. Good to know, thanks.

And you can recognize that there are multiple problems with different severity and need to be adressed from most severe to lowest severe.

Thanks for the linked blogpost about Kagi! That saved me a lot of money.

It really changed my mind about it… I want to support a privacy focused search engine, not an AI-loving mess without focus on their core product.

I will have a look at MetaGer next. Although I am sad that there is still no good original search engine with it’s own results… Still all depending on Google and Microsoft.

Thanks, it looks like a good Meta-Searchengine.

Lemmy made me try Kagi.com, a not open source search engine. I wish there was a better and more open way to search the web.

Germany is basically Russia, so who cares. Go Trump!

You would pass all those tests, every idiot does. The harder task is to learn, that cars shouldn’t be driven by every idiot who passes those tests - even if you are allowed to do so.

But you are (statistically, assuming you are living in the USA) really bad at it. Maybe you shouldn’t control your car.

Piwigo loocks great. How does it compare to Immich?

Hab mit meinen Antworten nur 89 % geschafft. Üben, üben, üben.

Wenn unser System es zulässt, dass 91-Jährige noch fahren (müssen), dann ist das System mindestens teilschuldig und entschuldigt das grobe Fehlverhalten - der Typ ist 91 und fährt zwei Tonnen Stahl durch die Gegend!

Mit 91 ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit sehr hoch, dass du keine guten Entscheidungen mehr triffst, du mentale Aussetzer hast und nicht mehr voll zurechnungsfähig bist, geschweige denn fahrtauglich. Und wir lassen diese Leute fahren und werden wütend, wenn sie sich wie 91-Jährige mit 2 Tonnen Stahl unter dem Arsch eben verhalten. Ich glaub es hackt.

Denkst du nicht, dass wir durch bauliche und planerische Maßnahmen auf unseren Straßen mehr erreichen können, als damit, alte Knacker “wegzusperren”?

Breitere Straßen führen zu schneller fahrenden Autos. Das ist nicht mein persönliches Problem, sondern ein allgemeines.

Aus meiner persönlichen Erfahrung: Ich wohne an einer Landstraße, in einem längeren 30er Bereich. Fast am Ende des Bereichs steht so eine Geschwindigkeitstafel. Fast jeder Autofahrer bremst vor dieser Tafel ab und hat trotzdem noch 5 km/h zu viel auf der Uhr.

Da du dir viel Sorgen um mich machst: ich fahre relativ moderat und halte viel Abstand. Wenn ich bedrängelt werde, fahre ich tendenziell langsamer, um meine Sicherheit zu erhöhen. Auf Autobahnen fahre ich gerne 120 km/h, da scheint mir der Schnittpunkt aus Spritverbrauch, Reisegeschwindigkeit und Sicherheit zu liegen.

Auf Partys saufe ich, weil ich Lust darauf habe.
