He’s since learned his lesson and is now turning the presidency into a chess eating contest that only he can win.

Pay no attention to desktop dying as people lose awareness of personal computing and lock themselves into closed ecosystems.

Indeed. It’s a privilege to be able to stay inside your little circle and say “we don’t do politics” or “ no ideology here”.

Don’t think we should be scared of the word “political” or “ideology”.

Looks like a confused Swedish dude that when questioned about his use of English pronouns defaults to not wanting to get political. Is there more besides a misguided decision to avoid relevant political topics?

I think we should chastise people that insist on not getting political, but not necessarily boycott everything they do. Or at least we should apply the same moral demands to Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft or Google when choosing which browsers to support. Which of them is the least bad?

What the Americans call libertarians have some minority representation in Europe and they’re tolerant of minorities. Not as good as leftists but better than conservatives.

In Europe, Linus is probably right of centre. Just let anyone do whatever except walk around with a gazillion firearms because that’s just insane.

I don’t understand the business model of other search engines, but I see how Kagi can work long-term and that’s why I’m still a customer.

Once you’re a search engine that works for your users, you can do stuff like warning labels for websites that have excessive tracking and just let users filter out any domains from their results.

They literally voted for retribution, so strap on, it’s just beginning.
