Not from the US but currently living here. I would say the Disability Act is the gold standard worldwide. The amount of consideration for people with a variety of disabilities that almost universally applies is exceptionally amazing. It's kind of shocking to see the dedication to adhering to that law while otherwise abandoning that portion of the population (e.g. Healthcare, SSDI, etc.).

That really depends on your use case and how valuable web search is for your daily life.

I've personally tried Google, Bing, DDG, Brave search, and ChatGPT. Kagi is consistently able to find what I'm searching for more quickly and accurately than anything else, which has been very valuable for me in my personal and professional life.

It's easily worth the cost in result quality and time saving for me personally, but that doesn't mean the same will apply to you or anyone else.

As far as stand out features, there aren't really any that I can think of. It just gives me the results I'm looking for without any bullshit to wade through.

It's a very minor annoyance and well worth it in my opinion.

I was searching for a book quote for over a year. I tried every search engine, tried changing the terms, checking back several times every few weeks or so, but couldn't find anything even close. I tried kagi and it was literally the very first result on my very first search.

I haven't looked back and have never had an issue finding what I'm searching for since.

I use playlet on roku which uses invidious, but I recommend setting up your own invidious instance since YouTube has been cracking down on the public instances.

True, but I was more thinking about the issue of reconnecting in general when you just nuked sshd.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Sure, I suppose as long as sshd is up and running in the ramdisk environment (which you mentioned in another comment, along with all other services) you could always reconnect. Very neat and clever!

What happens if the SSH session closes before dd finishes? Sounds pretty badass but I don't think I would trust this approach in prod lol

Absolutely, that's a given. It even allows you to see some of the data that it has harvested from you and what it has learned about your swipe texting patterns.

But it does work well, including what OP asked for, and I expect that all keyboard apps do much of the same. How else would the devs make any money from a free app that doesn't have ads?

I've been using the SwiftKey keyboard for a while and it allows any fucking word I want to use. It's really good at learning and predicting phrases I use often, including foul language, video game terms and words, etc.
