Using our google accounts ... for Lemmy?

First search engine I ever used in the 90s

I'm not impressed with Kagi. I was lied to by someone at Kagi when I asked a question about their using geo-location data.

(Well, technically not lied to, but it was clear they were being deliberately evasive and deceptive, which didn't impress me much, since it's a paid service I was considering.)

Edit.

Obviously, my take may be biased, so I've added screenshots from the exchange I had with Kagi, but I've blotted out all names for privacy. Even though this left a bad taste in my mouth, I hope I'm not depicting this unfairly, so now you can decide for yourself.

Edit: If you're tempted to respond in bad faith, go annoy someone else. I'm not taking the bait, I'll just block your ass.

Edit Part 2: Why do all my comments attract the most insufferable neckbeards?

A. It's clear why I found it deceptive since he was being a pedant about what constitutes search results (if a widget is summoned by a search term -- which didn't request it btw -- then that widget is part of the results. It's batshit looney to think otherwise)

B. But I literally posted screenshots for full disclosure and for the sake of honesty -- and I'm still getting losers posting cringe in response. Fucking suburbanite straight white male energy stfu

C. Get blocked, fuckwits. If I wanted your opinion, I'd ask.

Kinda bummed about that because some of the instances I liked were SearX, but I guess it's time to move on.

I used Startpage for a long time, and I'm perpetually connected to VPN on both my PC and my phone (different nodes at different times)

Never had a problem with my VPN

I don't think I've ever posted anything very important on Lemmy :P

"...and your total for shipping comes to $9.11"

That's why I do it. It's an easy way to support your instance.

Is it better than HDMI? That's what I typically use now. (Display port on my desktop PC.)

As a plane, I've got nothing against buildings, but being out in public where a child might see them is where I draw the line

Most peripherals still use USB-A though, so I've never seen the advantage of having a USB-C port on my laptop. I never use it. I guess I could connect my phone, but that seems rather pointless. (Most of the charging bricks I own still have USB-A too, and I have way too many to go buy another one. It was cheaper just to buy a new cable for me phone.)
