I’ve been using Kagi for a few months now. Before that I used Brave Search. With Brave search I had to use the g! bang every few searches. Now with Kagi I have maybe used it five times in total. It has so much better search results!

Which lossless streaming service do you consider to be better for privacy? Deezer, Tidal, …?
I’m using Qobuz. Since it is a rather small service, I just hope it is more private than the “big players” like Spotify/Apple Music. But the main benefits of Qobuz are the audio quality and the (afaik) highest payment per streamed song for artists.
Wow, I didn’t know about this. I think that’s a big reason for not choosing Apple…
I was a Nexus/Pixel user for a very long time (until the Pixel 5). But there is no more small Pixel so I “had” to switch to Samsung. The Pixel 8 could be an option although it is not really high end - I’d like to stay with 3 cameras for example.
What’s still missing is an automatic upload function for specific folders (pictures, backups, …) from my Android phone. Then I would consider switching from Google Drive (I’m currently using an app called DriveSync for that).
I really like the idea of open source software and use it as much as possible.
But another “problem” is that you don’t know if the compiled program you use is actually based on the open source code or if the developer merged it with some shady code no one knows about. Sure, you can compile by yourself. But who does that 😉?
Do you really think there will be a big rush on Lemmy’s servers on July 1st? In my opinion most people that wanted to switch to Lemmy/boycott Reddit already did so. The rest will just use the official app or the browser website.
I use a PC, a PS5 and a Switch for gaming. Why would I bash against Nintendo? Mario games are great ;-)!
Wow, looks really great. I didn’t even know there was going to be a new Flight Simulator next year.
I did the same some years ago. Just deleted WhatsApp and told everyone I was either available via Signal/Threema or via SMS/Mail. Most of my friends installed Signal alongside WhatsApp over the following weeks.
And this “worked” in a country with over 90 % WhatsApp users ;-).
Well, since I am one of the people who chose the “official” server on Lemmy as well as on Mastodon, I will tell you why I did it: The “official” server will most likely be the one, that has the least chance to be abandoned/closed at some time in contrast to a small server maintained by some student as a side-project (no offense :-) ). I don’t want to loose everything and start at zero, so I chose the most “reliable” server.
So it is either closed-source with promised encryption (not verifiable) and a lot of meta data collection or open-source without encryption. Tough call. Signal would be best of both worlds, but it seems to be no alternative for you.
Since I don’t trust Meta with anything, I would use Telegram if I had to. But I would absolutely not be happy with it.
Try to convince the people around you to use Signal.
Yep, me too. Unbelievable that it was LastPass, Authy and Gmail a few years ago. What a shift for me :-).
