Nice to see Kagi get mentioned!
I’ve been using Kagi for about a month now, and I love the quality of results you get. I’d say it’s still a niche product for people who need to do a lot of searches but can’t be bothered to dig through commercialized ad-driven SEO’d crap. I haven’t used the personalization features like lenses much, although it’s useful for finding PDFs and answers to programming questions.
What do you think about Kagi?
I crossposted to the Rust Lang community here on Lemmy as well.
You can use Bitwarden Premium for 2FA keys. It’s pretty cheap and well worth it to support development ($10/yr).
If you’re on Android and don’t want to pay for Bitwarden Premium, I’d use something like Aegis Authenticator.
You don’t need to buy a new computer just to learn Linux. You can create a bootable flash drive and install it on an external SSD and boot from the SSD when you need to use Linux. If you don’t want an external SSD, you can dual-boot and keep Linux on a separate partition on your machine.
In terms of distros, I’d recommend Ubuntu or Pop!_OS to get started with. Other distros like Elementary OS, Linux Mint, or Debian can be suitable as well.
Personally wouldn’t recommend Fedora as a newbie distro because most guides assume Debian/Ubuntu-based package managers. When I first switched from Pop!_OS, I couldn’t understand why my apt-get commands weren’t working. Of course, that was until I learned about other package managers like DNF, Yum, etc. Also, Nvidia proprietary drivers and media codecs can be a pain.
Pop!_OS, Ubuntu and Mint are all great recommendations though!
“When in doubt, draw a distinction.” - Neil Postman
When it comes to communicating well in English, it’s easy to get stuck between words that seem very similar. For example: poll vs vote, citizen vs civilian, politician vs representative. When you don’t know the difference between words, try to find what makes them different from each other.
For example: a poll can be an opinion poll, but a vote is only for an election. So all votes are a kind of poll, but not all polls are specifically votes.
Another example: a politician politically represents the will of their constituents. A representative may represent any company, organization, or government. So representatives generally represent groups of people, but politicians specifically represent their constituents in government.
Another example: what’s the difference between plausible and reasonable? Something reasonable means it’s logical or can be reached through reasoning. Something plausible is a story that makes sense, a good enough story that could actually happen. So something reasonable needs to have a relatively consistent logical thread to it, whole something plausible needs to make enough sense as to be possibly true.
When you are asking if something is plausible, you are asking if the story is true or if the reasons given make enough sense to make the story true. When you are asking if something is reasonable, you are asking if using your reasoning ability, you would come to the same conclusions.
