Completely understand your frustration with this… This isn’t their first rodeo when it comes to these popup sales either… I know there have been multiple other posts about this here on Lemmy previously. Anyway keep us posted, I’ve done my part and upvoted the uservoice post 👍

Thanks for the insight though! Feel like it’s a lot better trying than not to. Worst come to worst I continue using my mobile Hotspot which they pay for.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing :)

As far as I was told at least, they use Intune to distribute these, don’t think they want to “hand them out manually”.

Yeah, they do not officially support us using Linux. However, I would like to see whether Intune can be easily installed on Linux machines so that I can create documentation for those employees who wish to use Linux over Windows/Mac.

Intune is the only way for us to get Wi-Fi certificates(AFAIK), that’s why it’s needed. On windows it’s baked in or whatever, but obviously not on Linux.

I think most people don’t understand the fact that Kagi is meta-search engine which literally collect the results of other search engines and display it and add very small amount of results from their index(tecilis).

People basically pay them to search Yandex and Brave for them.

You’re enticing that they ‘do very little’. But they do search multiple sources at once, providing a better choice of results for their users in addition to allowing users further customizable filters. If they’re doing this then they’re doing more than just the standard ‘Yandex/Brave’ search as you describe.

I do however, agree that they should state that they are a metasearch engine if that is their case. Also just seen their pricing - ludicrous!

If they’re indexing multiple sources and then making a custom experience for the user - based on multiple sources and user input. Then that to me, sounds like a valid service to to allowed to sell? I struggle to see the issue here?

\not a kagi user.

Ahhh ofc, can’t believe I didn’t think of this… This also solves my issue actually ☺️

Just seen that there is also a drop down menu to easily turn this on and off, perfect.

I’m more afraid of them reading about each transaction and selling that information forwards to their partners…

Hm, good of you to point out. I hope and assume they will post the code for this as soon as they launch this.

I’d be very surprised if this was some sort of sham. At least both Jeff Geerling and Raid Owl have posted about getting these; though like sent to them without them backing them directly.

Currently exploring some tools around this myself too. I’d recommend having a look at Gonic, LMS(light music server) and Navidrome for hosting music. Personally I quite liked the simplicity of Gonic.

If you need to re-sort/manage your music then, Beets and Musicbrainz Picard, or MediaMonkey (if you’re on Windows) are your friends. These can add alot of additional metadata to your library.

Beets is apparently the “best” tool out of these as it has a big plugin library and hella customizable configuration for your exact setup.

Best of luck 🤞

Love the idea of this project, exactly something I’m looking for. Though as others have stated, a more native way for Linux or an integration with Lutris or Heroic Launcher would truly be helpful for this project. Believe it would get a lot more traction in the selfhosting community if this became a reality.

Wow this is honestly disappointing to see. Been reading his stuff for a while, guess I’ll have to look elsewhere for Linux gaming news.

While true, none of the other ones are as seamless and easy as what Proton achieves. I’ve tried multiple other services, and always come back to Proton for exactly this.

Protonpass user here. Their aliasing is just too good to have.

Same here!! Been absolutely fantastic so far. Although I have to remake my playlists, totally worth it considering Spotify is only getting worse and worse each year. Discovered late last night that Navidrome supports smart playlists, so will play around a little with that.

Thought I’d make a Lemmy post about the whole transition when I’m completely done migrating 😊

This is good news! Anyone here played it recently? How far has the game come in terms of content compared to Minecraft or Vintage Story?

Used to be the case for me too. But recently discovered that paid apps generally is much better polished, feature rich and ad+tracking free. That at least for me makes it more interesting paying for apps.

What a great suggestion! Very nice 👌
