Huh? Linux is the gold standard for running pirated games, mainly because of flatpaks and its sandboxing capabilities. The games won’t have access to your filesystem and you can disable network access. Installing the games is as easy on Heroic as it is on Windows.

Like I said earlier, I didn’t say that you or anyone else should boycott Kagi. I merely informed everyone for transparency. It’s up to you how you compromise your morals, because compromise we all do. I can live without Kagi, and therefore I don’t need to pay them. If I can refrain from supporting war and shitty governments, I will do so. That includes avoiding American companies, which I do primarily thorough self-hosting alternatives to big tech software.
Either way, you’re a very exhausting person to communicate with so this will be the last time I respond to your comments.
Yes, boycotting American companies is a good idea.
Kagi pays Yandex to use their API.
Yandex represents about 2% of our total costs and is only one of dozens of sources we use.

We have wildly different definitions of the word discrimination. The fact of the matter is that doing business with Russian companies funds the Russian war. There’s no away around that, and the fact that innocent Russian civilians have to suffer the repercussions of that is tragic, but it’s through no fault of the people choosing to boycott. Throwing accusations of discrimination in this situation is asinine.
Stop with this childish nonsense.
Discriminatory? Are you for real?
So anyone who does business with a Russian company is “sponsoring the Russian war”?
Yes. Russian companies pay taxes to the Russian regime, and the Russian regime uses that tax money to fund their war. Therefore, if you do business with Russian companies, you sponsor the Russian war.
Am I saying that means you shouldn’t pay for the service? No. We can’t boycott everything, but people should at least know where some of their money goes. Where you draw the moral line is entirely up to you.
It’s worth noting that Kagi, the company behind this browser, is sponsoring the Russian war against Ukraine through its business with Yandex.
1·7 days agoThe reason it’s promising is primarily because it does both floating and tiling window management well. It didn’t really click with me though the last time I tried it.
I would love to give GNOME an honest try, but there are so many ways in which it feels like it’s actively working against me. In KDE I can for example create as many panels as I want on as many monitors as I want. On GNOME? There’s an extension to put the panel on another monitor, but then you can’t use the dock. I guess the GNOME developers don’t use multiple monitors? I mean you can’t even set different wallpapers on different monitors without a third party application.
As for Niri, Hyprland and all that… Yeah, they’re cool, but I’m too old nowadays. I just want shit to work, even though I do miss some of the functions that exist e.g. on Hyprland that doesn’t exist in KDE. But on the other hand, the developer of Hyprland is an asshole, so I wouldn’t really want to promote or use the project anyway.

Most games work on Linux. The ones that don’t are online games with kernel level anti-cheats, which aren’t relevant if we’re discussing piracy anyway.
But yeah, a dedicated gaming machine with Windows is fine if that’s the way you want to go. I was just arguing against the claim that running pirated games on Linux isn’t seamless, which is wrong.
