I'm really looking forward to the alpha release. I hope someone package it for Fedora also, so I can test it without to much hassle... if not, I guess it will be PopOS in a VM. @mmstick@lemmy.world what is the general state of it as of today? Are the developers at S76 able to use it as their daily driver (By that I mean, being able to use it since they can over look bugs and such, since they are the developers. Obviously a different bar than end users), or is that expected after the alpha?

The borrow checker handles more than just freeing allocated memory, it will also prevent data races and invalid concurrent access aso. I personally don't have any issues with using garbage collected languages, but the fearless concurrency is nothing I'm willing to give up.

They explain a bit more about what that means here: https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave/75

TL;DR They use multiple sources for search results besides their own indexer, the most obvious one is Google. To lessen dependence on one single search provider they have been adding other sources, one of them is now Brave. That is the whole thing.

On Dec 26, Kagi started including search results from Brave search index, after we previously added Mojeek and Yandex earlier in the year. Brave has a public search api and we currently implemented it for about 10% of queries as a first test (same as any other API we use, there is no mutual development or anything of the sorts). This was announced in our Dec 28 public changelog. Approximately a week later on Jan 5 after several posts on social media about ‘Brave partnership’ the situation escalated.]

So, if you do not like to use Google in the first place, I don't really understand why lessening the dependence on google would be a bad thing?

You have understood that there doesn't exist any country that meets you utopian communist view, yet you have not stopped to think about why that is.

Ahhh... the communist countries are where all the unicorn lives... got it!

The desillusions people seems to have here is the same kind you have for religious people and moral, where the religious people claim that religion is what provides moral, and hence non-religious people cannot know right from wrong. It seems that in the same way, people in this discussion have defined that communism is the mechanism for being generous and being willing to contribute to society. Hence, all non-communist societies cannot exists, since nobody will build it. Basically, it is a very brainwashed take on communism, not based on anything existing but on some fantasy, especially since all practical attempts at communism seems to requires to strip people of all their freedoms.

Yes it is, but not in the way you hope. I live in a socialist country, but I'm still stunned about the level of the communist delusions people seems to have here.
