@jbaty what’s the appeal…? I can’t see anything without registering, looks like. Is it another sorta federated thing hosted by Cloudflare or AWS? I’m very skeptical of these things…

@slison I was the same way, until I read through their documents. I was like “wait a minute… I can do my own bangs?? and yes, yes you can.
While on Kagi, another “gem” of theirs I like is their news site. Give it a try. I find that it has just the right amount of news I need (you can always dig further), and you can add topics. Me, I have game news this way :D

@slison It’s a quick way to run a search directly from your address bar without going to the website. I use it on my blog all the time. For example, if I search
!blog kagi, my browser will take me to my blog, and run the search in my built-in search on the blog for Kagi posts.Even more useful: running
@blog kagiwill run Kagi search (with all its features) narrowed down just to my domain. I can use it, for example, to summarize my own posts. You can do the same with any website you’d like. -

@manton I thought you’ve been using it for a while now. Have you been on the starter plan? I’ve switched to the professional plan early on as I ran out quickly, and these days I use it all the time to test different LLMs. The integrated bangs (for my own blog) and being able to ask their assistant for so many things…
What tasks have you noticed LLMs fail at, or don’t do as well? I’m curious :)

@BrandonsJournal already on its way to my disco…er… Home. Thanks for the suggestion!

@TheRealChadwick that’s what I’ve been thinking too, until recently I saw a couple of folks using the white ones…

@joel, do you have any live videos showing the process? Maybe you know with speed x2 or x4? that would be cool :D

@adders I always wanted to get into this game but it’s too… overwhelming. Plus, I think I’m more of the role-playing person with less physical things, but Warhammer stuff looks so cool, and the lore and the stories… dunno.

@Miraz there are a lot of juices a d smoothies that include kale, cucumbers, spinach… and also peach, strawberries and banana. I find thr combination nauseating. But this me… apparently that’s what’s popular.

@eludom make sure you check dwim-shell-command (also on Melpa). It comes with many useful built-in commands, and you can always add your own.

@chrisod in my case, there are two reasons holding me back: first, my Linux desktop is used for Games, and Pop OS releases stable, timely Nvidia drivers. I know you can find them on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint as well, but it’s really smooth on Pop OS. Second, I want to wipe everything, not just restore from backup. This means a lot of head scratching and figuring out what tools I forgot, reinstalling Emacs with its packages… I don’t know. But there’s nothing quite like a clean experience.

@grueproof that’s a good goal

@Miraz sounds interesting. I will mark it down

@eludom it has been public, though, not very active a of very recently. You saw some of my classical music articles on it. Right now I’m creating a new one essentially, for micro.blog specifically. This one will be public too, as soon as I get some more “beef” on it. It’s a big project, and I’m trying to pace myself.

@manton question about movies: is it possible to default the search for letterboxd? I know I can change it in the link itself.

@manton It’s good to see what most people want, and if it validates my wants, it means I’m in a place that fits.
I encourage you to do more of those when appropriate! These are fun. Maybe it’s something the community leaders can do? I can see how it fits there as well, kind of like an extended feature under Discovery or similar.
Looking forward for the news about videos. I’d love an alternative to YouTube.

@manton Thanks for writing this. I know you usually don’t share to this level, and I’m glad you did. I’m very sad to read this, and at the same time, I’m happy you’re here and sharing with us.
I hope I don’t sound like a cliché when I say I feel like a better person today because of you and what you do. I write more and explain more and share more. I’m more compassionate with people online. I have stronger beliefs than I did before about the web. And I’m proud to be part of what you built here, as little as I contribute.
Thank you for all you do. You really make a difference, Manton. Thank you.

@eludom that’s another point and I agree with you. It opens up your mind to whys and what ifs like not many other tools

@birming ha! Interesting 🤔
