help-circle















  • That’s what bothers me most–i used to be able to find technical help and info very easily. Nowadays it’s all buried behind pages of bullshit–if you can find any of those forums at all. There’s very few places to get good help at this point, and I’m afraid it’s going to be even more difficult to find those places as time marches on.

    Well isn’t that great, mr. moneybags

    /S

    Yes I’m making a stupid joke bc it’s a paid search engine, something i never would have imagined would be a thing. Now I’m going to price it and perhaps finally pull the trigger on an acct there because fuck google, fuck bing, and fuck all these sites being “wrappers” of them. I come from the dial-up days when lycos, webcrawler, altavista, yahoo–hard searches that would separate the men from the boys. Now we just get this “A.I.” bullshit instead and it falls apart under its own weight. Excuse me while i wave my cane at the sun ☀️

    Edit: so it turns out you can get 100 free searches on their site here: https://kagi.com/onboarding?p=choose_plan

    Otherwise, it’s $5/month for 300 searches, $10/mo for unlimited, and $25/mo for their “ultimate” exclusive experience…whatever that may be. I’m gonna try the freebies and see what happens. I’m still on the fence about paying for search, but I’m really tired of bs coming from these companies leading to things like we’re experiencing today
