Yeah, I tried it for a bit 1 or 2 years ago and didn't see much difference.

Only cool thing was the automatic summaries with sources, but the I found out LLM summaries are like everything else "AI" - unreliable, at best, so...

And besides... aren't AI features getting pushed in Kagi heavily?

Weird idea to use it as an argument against Google and DDG, but conveniently ignore it for Kagi.

Bigscreen Beyond

Yeah, it does look pretty nice, but no Linux support, especially at this price, makes it a no-go for me. :(

edit: well, shit, apparently it doesn't do any proprietary bullshit and uses generic protocols, and reportedly works fine on Linux.
Might have to consider it after all...

It's great, especially the controllers - there's nothing else like it.
And, well, it's the only headset making any claims about Linux compatibility, which is also a big thing for me.

But your concern is the exact reason I'm not sure I can recommend it.

Of course, Valve works on Valve Time, so the chances Deckard will release next month are basically the same as it releasing anytime in the next decade.

When it originally launched, I feared it would go the same way as Valve's previous inventions in the VR

What the hell is she talking about?

Index still gets regular updates and it still doesn't really have any competition at its price point (Quest with its ridiculous account requirements doesn't count).

Just because Index was not a massive success due to its significantly higher cost doesn't mean it's a failure, and it's far from abandoned.

It's not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you're likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The "own your games" ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

Also, fun fact: Kagi owner believes only criminals want privacy and GDPR doesn't apply to them, because they said so!

I mean, of course USA has culture - it's one of their most successful international exports!

I think when people complain about lack of culture they usually mean "old" culture, since USA as a country is still relatively young.

But it's not a Spotify client, is it?

IIRC it uses Spotify APIs to generate playlists, but that's all.
Actual music gets streamed from YouTube.

These volunteers didn't think about it in these terms.
They gave away their work for free to help people learn languages, and for a long time Duolingo seemed like the best platform for that.

Starting your own platform is much more difficult than contributing to an existing one that seems to be operated with some amount of goodwill...

They already said they don't want to.

They asked you to install the app on purpose, in hopes that you'll decide it's too much hassle and decide not to delete the account.
