   Just want to put my two cents in and say I love the format. I think it definitely appeals more to younger folks with all the emojis and cartoonish styles (like myself, early twenties). But the interactive prompts are great. They really get

   I have tried using Brave Search (as well as DuckDuckGo) as alternatives to Google but I always had to keep switching back to using Google with the !g bang. Recently however I have been using Kagi and I think I have found the one search engi

   I agree that I am definitely on one side of the fence regarding cryptocurrency. And perhaps my comment was a little too inflammatory. However, how do you approach a nuanced debate on this issue when one side has a financial incentive to pro

   I haven't been having any issues with Bitwarden support. Works just as it did on Firefox.

   I really like the browser, and Kagi as well is giving much better results than Google. Regarding Orion, is there any built in way to migrate user data (bookmarks/favorites/reading list) automatically from Safari/Firefox/

   One of the (many) problems with cryptocurrency is that it’s holders are financially incentivized to generate hype and get people to buy in to it to drive the value of their coins up. Thus I am extremely skeptical of people with pro-cryptocu

   I feel like half of HN has taken crazy pills with crypto. Cryptocurrency has been a energy wasting, grift enabling nightmare. It will (and already has) go in the history books as an example of the biggest Ponzi scheme amplified in the socia

   You need to develop a healthy relationship with food and change “what” you eat. You can’t just quit food or you’ll feel miserable and eventually go back to old habits. Not to mention it being incredibly unhealthy. I would really recommend w

    That’s a different argument than how much the minimum wage is. You would have the same problem with a $9 minimum wage or a $25 one.

    I can’t seem to find any information on how long the battery lasts. Is it on their website anywhere?

    He acted on principle and conviction by whistleblowing. Look how far that got him. Easy to call for being courageous when your not the one facing life in prison.

    This is a pretty interesting find, it did help me read faster. I think the website would be better served by having the example texts be different though.

    If only cryptocurrency did any of that, instead of being an inefficient climate change accelerator primarily used to buy drugs and gamble on the internet.

    I like the idea and would gladly pay money for a open source federated search engine that isn’t awful. Lately I have been admiring the efforts to make the web less “corporatized” with the open, decentralized projects of the fediverse (but n

    I disagree, I don’t think a man would get nearly as much hate for expressing an opinion on the internet. Particularly from the “incel” crowd as they hate women specifically.

    This article just seems petty. The author just quotes large chunks of the article by Gary Smith while inserting snide comments afterwards ("That's pretty funny!", "These are hilarious!"). Then goes on to ad hominem

    I disagree, the alternative is either no access to website data or access through a tightly controlled API (which can come with the same problems if API compatibility is not guaranteed).
