I appreciate the apology ♥

Blocks sites you specify from appearing in Google search results

I wonder if you even read my comment? Also chill, there’s no need to condescend over a search engine lmao.

There’s literally not. For blocking, sure, but not changing the behaviours of your search algorithm.

Just requires whoever picks it up be in a country that doesn’t respect US IP law.

Circles? Like from Google+?

Oh ya I use that as well, to turn Youtube results into Invidious, reddit into web.archive.org/save/, twitter into nitter, tiktok into proxitok, and AMP results into normal articles. It’s nice because, since I use kagi on my phone, it reaches where extensions don’t normally.

Totally valid. For me the killer feature is being able to change the weights for various sites, making it so websites with content that’s not useful to me or I don’t like don’t appear^[1], pinning websites that I consider best-of-class for their relevant searches^[2], and prioritizing websites I do like, but aren’t always the best answer^[3].

They also have a “Lenses” feature that lets you make your own search lens (like I have one for Lemmy-only results), but I’ve not really had much use for those.

So I’m just thinking about how this would work, in a perfectly non-competitive world:

There’d need to be some Browser Standards Association to implement and suggest browsers to add to a list of “certified browsers”, with transparent requirements to be included to ensure low quality or outdated browsers aren’t included. The OS would need to implement that entire list in a randomized format. There’d preferably be some sort of built-in pros/cons list of the browser, I suppose these could be put together by a combination of the BSA and the competing browsers.
But these pros/cons won’t be understandable or significant to 95% of people.

The BSA would also want to ensure there’s diversity not just in browser and companies (like Opera getting 3 fucking entries), but would also want to ensure there’s a variety of browser engines (preferably not just chromium and webkit).

You really need a ukelele for your apologies.

For me the biggest thing was motion controls in the future Xbox controller. To me that means motion controls in XInput, and a standardized motion control library on PC that’s not reliant on Steam. Hopefully means multiplats will be more willing to implement them where they make sense, for people who like them.

Internet Archive’s been victim to anti-preservation efforts for years. They’ll deal with them likely the same way they always do, and are dealing with a lawsuit right now over The Great 78 Project.

TL;DW

Invalids?

Except they’re literally a charity.

he was being a pedant about what constitutes search results

You mean they were being precisely accurate

If I wanted your opinion, I’d ask

You posted to a public forum, but man you’ve really got an attitude about any contest to what you’ve said.

Legitimately, what part of that was deceptive? They outright stated that those specialized widgets you can’t disable. Your post here is far more misleading in comparison.

Those cards are platitudes, and I think nothing of the messages within them.
An empty card with no design and a signed name would be equally meaningful.
