The troons are in revolt against kagi now for *simply including brave search proxy in their result options*. The hit is small right now but if you wanted to sign up for what I would unironically describe as a "life changing product" this would be the time to support them.

The owner basically said they weren't making politics part of their product decisions and the usual screeching and breaking of chairs followed.

@RustyCrab claiming to be not political is a stupid take, kagi could have responded much better to this

@Pawlicker @condret yeah what exactly is the proper response for that "get fucked troon"? He just stated they were focused on product quality and using every index they could and brave is a good addition.

I HOPE he knows that if he backs down on this it will be blood in the water and they'll start trying to dismantle everything else. I'm sure they'll go after their standing with stripe at some point too.

@RustyCrab @Pawlicker @condret they are getting super fixated on the supposed "tech is neutral" viewpoint of the Kagi founder and then saying they are going to go back to Google/Microsoft. Even if you despise Eich's stance from years ago, that is irrelevant now except for signaling (which is what they are doing) or as a personal moral choice. Many of these people are undoubtedly supporting politicians that actively blocked gay marriage at that same time, a greater morally consequential action than making a donation. Microsoft/Google have their own past behavior to be reckoned with. Current Microsoft/Google have moral consequences. If you do the math maybe you don't stick with Kagi but you don't go back to MS/Goog either. DDG incorporates Bing results which is functionally the same thing they are complaining about with Kagi/Brave.

@Moon @RustyCrab @condret Look, the people in groups like this could not give two shits and a fuck. At least some of them actually work for MSFT/Google, and you wouldn't cause too many problems for your employer, right?

@RustyCrab @Moon @condret There's a lot of muppets like that working for Google and I'm convinced at least pre 2020 that all these corporations are daycare centers for daddy's piece of shit son.

@Awoo @Moon @RustyCrab @condret My real blackpill was when boomers gave me the whole song and dance about being presentable and blah blah and sending me to useless job centers that could not get me a tech job unless it was "data entry" while these pieces of crap were getting handed jobs left and right.

Do you want to know how much it "radicalized" me as an unemployable 20 year old? It made me realize there's no point in trying to work my way up the fake and gay "get a job dude just do this cert shit" when these troons get jobs doing nothing but probably resetting the server once in a while.

@Awoo @Moon @RustyCrab @condret actually fuck that
I couldn't get a WAL-MART JOB because of those stupid quizzes while these pieces of shit were getting Google jobs by having a pulse. Do you know how demoralizing it is, when you can't get a wal-mart job, and it's clear your parents literally do not have any serious plans for your future other than babbling about some bullshit they read about online? While these people are out there getting Google jobs? I don't think words can express just how I felt or why I chose to drop out and sit in DIscord calls.

And then those Discord calls turned to shit and "nerd crack" became popular. I can't even talk to the people I used to 6 years ago, because they no longer exist as I remember them and neither do the communities. They chose VR gooning and looking for enablers online.

@Pawlicker
These communities claim to be all about "being your true self" but if your true self matches the hardware you shipped with, you're an asshole and aren't welcome.

@r000t @Awoo @RustyCrab @condret @Moon good thing I've gotten good at sussing these kinds of people out.

Pronoun shit in the bio? Nah, I'd need to be under the influence of some shit to be in the voice chat.

@Pawlicker The problem is that I need to be in these places to get certain things done.

So it's a bit ironic to see these places be like "all of this is so more people can participate" and I cannot fucking participate. And all of it happens over Discord so I can't even anonymously drive by and get stuff I need, I have to fucking talk to people. @Awoo @RustyCrab @condret @Moon
