Unfortunately it's pocket change for them.

Meaningless wager that despite not paying off still probably taught them an enormous amount about reddit and its users.

I'm excited to see this!

I was following the project on Reddit before I left, and I haven't seen any updates since then. Pretty thrilled to be able to support them. It feels like a long shot to achieve the full scope of the vision, but even if we get a smaller version of it, I'm psyched to experience it.

They really have made a ton of progress in the last year or so.

Sorry it's not going in the direction you hoped. I'm personally super into this vibe. Feels bizarre and different. Hopefully they capitalize on the theme and do something cool with it. If the "dragon" flight part is as tight and fun as recent Doom mechanics, it could be really fun.

I've tried to use DDG for a few weeks now, and I find it gets worse the more specific I search.

For general things, it's fine. But if I'm looking for an installation tutorial for a certain kind of plumbing hardware, it struggles to show me anything but brand and retail pages.

Can I use kagi as a default search for my browser?

I'm trying to use Firefox on desktop and mobile more.

Obviously "the" is a critical part of the trademark. Lawyers win that debate.

But why did the marketers win the "a... game" debate?

It could have been, "The Lord of the Rings: whatever whether Hobbit farm" and avoided all the weirdness.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

My friend, I am also slightly nostalgic for the optimism and novelty of the flip phone days. I could text confidently with T9 inside a hoodie pocket during class. But my good friend there is no universe where I want to go back to T9 for the convenience and effectiveness of it. It is not quick compared to anything that came after.
