Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•How New York City voted. It's transit riders vs drivers English
69·6 days agoIt’s important to note that this table doesn’t actually directly compare transit riders’ vs drivers’ voting habits. It’s “election districts with…” more transit riders or drivers. There could be other outside variables such as income levels and political party affiliations in those different districts that influenced these results.
This is also true about all of the other variables in the table. It’s only comparing trends between districts, not between individual people.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Kagi search engine worth it?English

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Kagi search engine worth it?English
344·7 days agoPaying for Yandex APIs is a product of their goal to be the best search engine available. They pay for access to nearly every major search provider and wouldn’t want to lose access to Yandex results just because of the country they’re located in.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Kagi search engine worth it?English
101·8 days agoPersonally, it’s the only search engine I haven’t wanted to get away from
I just hope there will eventually be a solution that doesn’t require tired server owners to sift through registrations and posts all day.
I think the majority of people on Lemmy don’t want to be served an AI-generated feed about AI. Maybe try a more AI- or LLM-focused community?

Technology@lemmy.world•Satellite Snooping Reveals Sensitive Unencrypted DataEnglish
15·15 days agoWhat confuses me is what they mean by “corporate VPN data containing unencrypted login details.” Unless the VPN server connects to the backend servers with unencrypted traffic through these satellites (which definitely should not happen) then this should not be possible.

Linux@programming.dev•I ditched Linux for Windows 11 for one week - and found 9 big problemsEnglish
1822·16 days agoI totally misread the title 😭
That is a very deceptive title. These are problems he noticed in Windows 11, not Linux.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?English
2·16 days agoTo create a redirect:
- Go to https://kagi.com/settings/redirects
- Click “Add Rule”
- In the bottom box, use the following format to create your redirect:
^https://original.domain.tld/|https://new.domain.tld/For example, to replace www.youtube.com with inv.nadeko.net (an Invidious instance), you can use the rule
^https://www.youtube.com/|https://inv.nadeko.net/I’ve also created a copy of this rule for any youtu.be results, as well as X/Twitter and Reddit for their respective frontends. This will work for any pair of websites if you can simply replace the domain in the URL and have it pull up the correct content on the alternative website.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?English
61·17 days agoIt comes down to the fact that Kagi’s first priority in search is providing the best results, so they’re not going to turn down access to another search api based on politics.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?English
6·17 days agoThat is also something you can do with Kagi. 😆 I have it set up so that all YouTube results redirect me to Invidious, as well as Reddit and Twitter for their respective frontends.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla to Require Data-Collection Disclosure in All New Firefox ExtensionsEnglish
25·18 days agoExcept most extensions need to collect some data to work. Unless you want firefox to die, this isn’t a great idea.
Except current methods can never lead to a “superintelligence.”

Technology@lemmy.world•Universities are embracing AI: will students get smarter or stop thinking?English

Gaming@beehaw.org•As Game Pass prices get laughably high, Microsoft is reportedly spinning up a free version of Xbox Cloud Gaming—but of course you'll have to sit through adsEnglish
17·1 month agoI was wondering how they would be able to run such an expensive service based on just one person’s ad revenue:
Microsoft is also currently testing a limit of one hour for sessions, with up to five hours free a month
I just don’t understand how Microsoft thinks someone is going to sit through minutes of ads and be okay with only 5 hours per month in return.


I was trying to read this while driving, but there wasn’t enough contrast between the white text and the light gray cat 😿
