  • I was banned out of the blue, even though I just posted in tech and fandom subs, and never in 10 years had an encounter with a mod. So there’s definitely something wrong with the tool they’re using.

    And I’ve seen those comment threads you mention. It’ll be a normal, friendly conversation with a random “[ removed by reddit ]” in the middle. I started joking to myself whenever I see one of those, that there was someone saying something really awful in that comment despite the rest of the conversation flowing completely peacefully (sometimes including replies like “I totally agree!”).

    I’ve even found posts in tech subs after doing a web search, where the cached result looks like an issue I’m having, but when I load the post it’s “[removed by reddit]” and there’s no drama or anything to indicate that the removal made any sense.













  • I wanted to try Kagi because it sounds like they’d be better at curating their database and I wouldn’t get SEO results? but they don’t have regional or coherent pricing. 5 USD for 300 searches? 10 USD for unlimited searches? It’s absurd. I get a whole suite of services for the same price as the “Professional” tier. Kagi’s infrastructure can’t be costlier than Proton’s, or Mullvad’s, or addy’s, Bitwarden’s, or Filen’s, etc.




  • I’m using Pop! OS 22.04, I’m happy with it. It’s a good distro for gaming, BUT… lately there have been a lot of issues with the NVIDIA driver, and the Linux 6.16 kernel. I only recommend it if you’re comfortable troubleshooting, using the TTY, and doing other stuff before giving up and deleting your whole drive. 😅
