Kagi also has the advantage of letting you filter out crap websites. I think that's gonna become increasingly useful as the AI contentpocalypse continues.

It doesn't even feel like i use the same internet as everyone else.

I filter hundreds of the most popular websites and holy fuck the old internet is still there.
Lenses are a cool feature too that limit your searches to 10 websites and that also works really well but it'd be prime if you could have like 100 websites in there. Even with 10 it works really well to improve some searches.

Comment They always shared with police (Score 5, Interesting) 95

I was in middle school and school bus cams first appeared (massive black box with a window, many of us speculated that only some of them even contained a camera)
There were some incidents where the video was used. The school always has the option of giving video to the cops. Likewise, the system always had the option to subpoena the video.

This is all about cops just being able to pull up the school bus footage on a whim. I don't really see how increased access to video for investigative and not evidential reasons is going to keep society at large safe. I can imagine some rather nauseating use cases though

Comment Re:Asset is not a spy; but can simply be a rube (Score 2) 26

When I was just a young man in the military I saw how weak powerful people were in this country. I saw an E-2 blackmail multiple officers over their whorehouse behavior. As I got older I often worried about the implications of what I'd witnessed.
I also thing this vulnerability is generally widespread among leadership in our society.

Then Epstein happened.
The people in charge have failed us deeply and I think this pretty much any time I see any kind of "leader" now be he on C-SPAN or at work.

Polygraph does what it's supposed to and scares guys like this guy while making money for government grift contractors.
People don't really fail, they just start acting like Prince Andrew talking about how he can't sweat and the interrogator notes that he appears to be lying.

Unless you have the kind of anxiety problems that would probably keep you out of this sort of political kejiggering to begin with, you're not gonna fucking fail the test.

Good work referencing old slashdot threads.
I've long felt that one of the long overlooked sources of value on the site is it's rich and preserved history. I often find the old threads on the sidebar to be more interesting than whatever's going on present day and have felt management would do well to get people browsing them.

I like to add people to my foes list this way they can't drive by with a bullshit comment and disappear back into the crowd. I've been thinking about how creimer used to insist that slashdot wasn't his "permanent record".

A greasemonkey script that let you save a users most retarded posts would be really useful.
