I don't know if you think I'm advocating against piracy or something but I'm not. I'm just saying Kagi is the same thing so might as well keep the $10/month.
The single reason I bought a Steam Deck instead of a console was because it would let me pirate games. And now I have more than 50 games on my Steam account. I still pirate games but there are games that are reasonably priced and not made by a multi-billion dollar company and I just buy them.
Most hospitals in the US don't even use the OS as much as they use their EMR system (EPIC). You boot the computer, you double click on Epic and you login. No real interaction with the OS.
I would say laboratories would have the biggest problem with Linux. Laboratory information systems, third party software for different equipment as well as bridging software between these two are all on Windows.
Downvote me into oblivion but Kagi ain't shit. It's a glorified Google frontend. The author is right that the web is filled with AI generated articles and fake reviews and lists but Kagi is not immune to this enshittification.
I even tried the same query the author was bitching about.
Here is Kagi's first two links for top 10 air purifiers. Notice how the first result is a BS website called top10.com and the second one is one of the "fake review" websites .
And here is Google's. First result is Wirecutter, and this might be subjective but I trust Wirecutter reviews on most things.
Rest of the Google results are exactly what the author was mentioning. But Kagi was no different.
So $10/month to get the same shit? No thank you. I agree that Google turned to shit compared to what it was but it is still the best search engine out there. Now if the article was about privacy concerns then they would have a point. Which is what Kagi is all about anyway. So let's stop the fucking act.
I don't know shit about Rowling yet alone have an opinion about her. I just saw that she posts transphobic shit and clicked on her profile to find that she also posts A LOT about Trump.
