One employee posted that the AI assistant started telling people that the restaurant was out of everything but drinks and sauce packets. A person attempting to order a Chalupa Supreme with onions from the AI assistant ended up with three chalupas, and when they tried to replace meat with beans, the AI simply refused.

So things are not going great, but that is not stopping Taco Bell from pushing forward with its AI embrace in one way or another.

Taco Bell: No, ¡más! 😂

😭 Daaaammnnn… this is gonna be the answer… 😭

The question wasn’t how to switch OSs without losing current capabilities

This is exactly the question. The article is about Google taking away software freedom, forcing developers to dox themselves, and forcing users to only install software from Google’s approved list.

Apple is already there. How would that help anyone?

one detail that’s often glossed over is that Kagi primarily functions as a middleman between you and other search engines, like Google. In other words, it’s what we call a metasearch engine.

Yeah, I’ve known this. I’m… ajdlfjk about it.

What it can do, however, is make content less visible or harder to find, based on the criteria it uses to filter and rank results from its sources.

Aaaand this is kinda the secret sauce. While the starting material is what you get in other places, Kagi allows you to improve it with your own rankings and filters on top. For example, every time I find an AI slop review website, I immediately downrank it in my results. I also uprank trusted sites. This at least tilts the scales in my favor when searching, instead of accepting what Google wants me to see.

But, yeah, I agree Kagi is not discovering new material not known to Google, but it does have a higher chance of surfacing it.

it’s not fundamentally different from what other search providers are already doing.

I haven’t compared search engine features in a bit. Maybe it’s time.

I encourage you to try SearXNG

OK, I will.

So, you monolingual? 🙂

Oh, thank god Apple lets users install whatever software they want—hey, wait a minute…

Seafile is an alternative for self-hosting: https://www.seafile.com/en/product/seafile_on_premise/

I haven’t tried it. Seems to be more efficient than Nextcloud. It also has way less features. So. 🤷

Nextcloud definitely seems solid… but let’s be honest, it is definitely a resource hog. I tried deploying NextCloud on a VPS with 2GB of RAM, with most features turned off. The instance was empty. After a few minutes, I started getting alerts that I was using 100% of my memory.

Nextcloud isn’t gonna work the way you expect it to with 2GB of RAM. It doesn’t seem like you’d be able to run this on some cheap, low powered device.

Someone rewrite it in Rust! 😅

Uhh… how do we stop using Android? I mean, these recent attacks by Google seem like they’re going to break GrapheneOS and friends, no?
