If you think walkouts or protests don’t do anything, you might want to brush up on history. Or maybe discover it. Google is your friend. I mean everything from suffrage to organized labor to civil rights in the US was the result of massive coordinated action. You do know that right? Maybe even read up on Gandhi, or more recently French labor protests.

- soundworlds 4mo agoI've been using Kagi for the last year, and it is like an actually helpful business partner. Even if you use another one, we need to break the myth that Google is the only option out there.
- Fnoord 4mo agoIf you're not paying Google, you're the product. Same with Facebook. Both of these companies are data mining/harvesting and advertising. I'm also a Kagi user, but the index they mainly use is Google's. So I am paying for a good UI, a couple of nice features, and a frontend/proxy. The only independent index I am aware of, is Mojeek.
- supertroop 4mo agoI use Kagi. They actually use Google but with a different front end. I don’t plan to stop using Kagi.
- soundworlds 4mo agoGlad to hear you're also enjoying it! Just for anyone else reading, I would say it is inaccurate to say it is a different front-end over Google. They pull from a range of search engines, but also run their own web crawlers and indices. It's the closest thing to a fully new search engine we've had so far.
- supertroop 4mo agoThat’s funny. On the nose. :)
