You'd guess wrong, because modern Yandex is essentially Kremlin owned, so it is directly supporting it, not in a huge amount (on account of Kagi being relatively tiny company), but definitely not 'none'. Also in the discussio

Their support agent in the forum very unambiguously answered to one of the early complaints about the Yandex thing with "Our opinion about war differs", I nope'd out right there and then

Yandex these days is pretty much directly Kremlin, so it's not "through taxes". That being said Kagi -> Yandex hop does indeed make it indirect. (I too have stopped using Kagi after I found out that they pay Yandex and emp

sure, but I prefer this layout to majority of big tech today. Gives me flexibility and choice and does not punish me with 600px wide content box because majority of users have trouble grasping the concept of window management.

I would like to introduce a wild concept -- browser window is resizable.

I use mine as semi-disposable device I wouldn't be afraid to lose or get stolen, it is mostly thin client for my bigger devices (over ssh and rarely vnc), encrypted disk and when lid closes it automatically shuts off, so it's a pe

I'm missing netbooks so much, there's just no decent 10" laptops on the market anymore. I got myself a 150$ N150 chromebook, yoinked a Linux on it and using that, despite the terrible screen and build quality, but at least it

It says a lot about our world that artificially discontinuing a fully functional device (thankfully mine are offline and jailbroken) is "pretty incredible". Sad even

Because having air frames constantly cycling in the air for six weeks straight is hard on both soldiers and air frames, so having a breather for maintenance and recovery is crucial. And Oil is not crucial for the US at all, it is hitting Eu

I did not imply that it does, I meant to have a budget allocated for 'unauthenticated deep history queries', when it's over it's over and you only handle dynamic fetching for authorized users until cooldown. Is it pretty

that's a pretty niche issue, but fairly easy to solve. Prebuild statically the most common commits (last XX) and heavily rate limit deeper ones

Vast majority of websites today can and should be static, which makes even the aggressive llm scrapping non-issue.

You don't lower the cost of killing by improved targeting, you lower it by thugs shooting people in broad daylight with no consequences. I understand the argument that moving the decision making power to a black box would clear conscie

by dumb munitions I mean older bombs vs JDAM and alike. Anyone who seriously speaks words 'nuclear weapon' and 'gaza' together is basically admitting he has 0 clue about the situation and is uninformed larper for either

Israeli settlers are despicable, but even in current government those who support them are minority freaks(who Hamas has empowered very much after October 7th). Also it is a two way street, there is also a problem of Palestinian settlers, w

Why does israel use expensive precise munitions wherever possible rather than their stockpiles of much more deadly "dumb" ones?

I ask in more general sense, if there is a way to fetch this stuff directly from webarchive or something along those lines. Gotta hit the search I feel :)

Ask HN: How does one archive websites like this without being a d-ck? I want to save this for offline use, but I think recursive wget is a bit poor manners, is there established way one should approach it, get it from archive somehow?

That is a position of privilege. You can ignore politics, but at certain point, politics cease to ignore you.

Justifies? What a privileged position. It is great shame that fascist US regime is the only real hope and ally of Persian people today, but it is what it is. (Israel too, but Israel alone cannot do much). (But I'm sure EU will send a s
