Imagine if debates weren't aired live either. It would just serve as proof as to what fools politicians made of themselves in order to provoke a reaction. Imagine if the only way to know about what's going on in a debate was to read the transcript or read commentary from the press. If the recorded video of what happened during the debate is only released after elections are over, it disincentivizes making the debate into an entertainment shitshow.

Yes but the browser engine isn't really the main selling point. Kagi is building Orion Browser with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It's privacy respecting, fast, and extensible. Support for other platforms are also planned.

It's kinda absurd if you think about it. We're here arguing about Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time while people are literally dying every year due to losing sleep every spring. I wish more states would just bypass Congress and revert back to Standard Time.

Who needs to sudo apt install firefox when it already comes preinstalled on most distros?

Personal anecdote, but I was in Taiwan recently for my grandmother's funeral. People (at least in Taipei) are surprisingly pro China. I've heard excuses like, "Chinese people don't fight Chinese people" or "China is threatening Taiwan to tell the US to back off, they don't actually want to do anything." Also, there has been rising skepticism towards the US due to a perceived refusal to back Ukraine by bringing them into NATO.

There is no doubt in my mind that, if China chose to go to war, that the US would defend Taiwan with boots on the ground. I see Taiwan as too strategically important for defending the liberal international world order, and letting Taiwan fall would set a precedent for the South China Sea, where China's getting its way could spell the end of freedom of navigation in a region that a third of global trade passes through.

Given current Taiwan political trends, I think many people are dissatisfied with the Tsai administration and would like to seek more business and cultural exchange with the mainland. Among the four presidential candidates, if you add up the three opposition candidates vs the incumbent DPP representative Lai, you will see that a majority oppose the DPP. However, there has been indecision as to which opposition candidate to unify behind.

Exactly. Not everything needs to be a goddamn SPA!

Svelte is for if you hate React and like vanilla JavaScript. Solid or Next is if you like React.

Got it. Get a MacBook and install Asahi Linux on it. 😅

For example Red Hat Enterprise Linux. They're FOSS but they charge money for support.

I basically only use git merge like Theo from T3 stack. git rebase rewrites your commit history, so I feel there's too much risk to rewriting something you didn't intend to. With merge, every commit is a real state the code was in.

I've been using Kagi for about a month, and I have to say the searches are excellent! No more wasting time searching through over-SEO'd ad-ridden crap! Just high quality results!
