So my wife was hunting a product down today. Didn’t know what they were called exactly. She tried google and came up blank. I punched the description into Kagi and boom! 1st link was an amazon page that had their search with the description results listed. Product she wanted was in the first row of the grid. #Kagi

oh c'mon....more MS shenanigans🙄

Here's a thought, maybe make your search good enough more people will try it...Though seriously one is much better off with #kagi, #duckduckgo, #startpage, #ecosia etc. #microsoft #google

Dear Sony, Microsoft, etc. making me re-sign in every time I wish to acquire a game or dlc is not a good way for me to continue a spur of the moment purchase. I will debate if I wanna waste my time doing the login. I do understand it if it’s a new device or a web browser. But my console hasn’t moved since I physically moved last and my phone has had the app forever 🙄. Note I hardly ever have this problem with Steam…just saying.

Sincerely, Slightly annoyed gamer

Fun fact, if you are using Vivaldi on mobile you can turn on and use your search engine nicknames to quickly switch between providers.

IE: I prefer StartPage and have it as my default. However, my wife likes Google and often just wants me to Google something. I can just punch in "g " and get her googled results. [g is what my google search is nicknamed]. works for the pc version too.

iOS 18.1 RC dropped. Good time to skip the server load for release day, look to 18.2 beta soon, or if you’re wanting to…exit the beta train.

So Question to the fediverse:

I’ve always been against touchid or faceid on principle against biometrics. I literally have nothing to really hide and just been using a passcode. Though with what seems like tons using them and so many apps wanting to prompt to set it up….am I being paranoid?
