Believe this started last year sometime, i packed my shit and left.

Lower stakes probably would have deescalated things a bit, i think. In this case the guy in question funds 80-90% of the political party in question which makes this whole thing feel even worse.

Tried selfhosting for a while but didnt quite flop my mop. Now paying for Qobuz which works great!

I have used both for over a year and personally dont find searx to be remotely close to being as good as Kagi… The search results are not accurate, at least not for me who search in multiple languages, and ive tried really really tried to customize searx to work for me. Kagi also feels faster and has a good looking UI.

This a widespread issue? Personally never noticed this as a problem myself, usually downloads withim 10-15 seconds.

Might want to check out Village Story too, believe its a bit more mature in age, as in the game has been out for longer.

Dunno about “huge ad” exactly… There arent that many of us here lol.

Having such a big influencer as Pewds shout out selfhosting, ad blocking and general privacy improvements is a huge win, no matter what your opinion is of him.
