The flipside of “the worst she can say is no.”

I can only hope to be this calm and articulate when I die.

people who really need anonymity are very rare. probably less than 100 in the entire world. definitely not typical Kagi users

unless they are criminals, in which case we don’t care that they don’t have full anonymity (nor we want them as customers)

If this is where you’re drawing the “believes only criminals want privacy” argument from, that’s not exactly what the quote says. The wording sucks, but it’s saying:

• Very few people need anonymity.
• Anonymity seekers aren’t our target market.
• The criminal subset of anonymity seekers are even more “not our target market”.

(This bit about criminals is completely unnecessary, though, and its inclusion makes me inclined to believe that Vlad looks down on people who want anonymity. I’m definitely not a fan of this guy.)

I’m sure there a more nuanced takes than mine, but I feel like I can support copyright when it’s correctly used to protect individuals, but not when it’s being abused by corporations and large creators.

Not OP, but it’s decent.

If you’re used to swiping to type on Gboard, the predictions aren’t as accurate. 10-25% of the time, manually typing is faster than swiping because the predictions are so wrong, or because there’s no prediction at all.

It’s supposed to train locally in order to improve the predictions, but I don’t know how long it will take for it to “catch up” to the swipe-to-text experience that I’m used to.
