I am (literally) writing in three separate codebases at the same time. With three completely different stacks. In two completely different languages.
It's fine. This is fine.
@james I am a web developer, autistic, and have ADHD. I could easily do 200+ a day and often do. The "average" person is not out here paying for Kagi, so this is an interesting choice of tier.
Whilst I would have considered MAYBE paying #Kagi $10 a month for unlimited searches a few weeks ago, obviously I am going back to DDG whilst looking for alternatives because to be apolitical is a political stance and one of the worst ones.
@james And:
1. It's... fine? Usable. Better than DuckDuckGo in that it actually provides useful results. Don't like the "popular" section at the top you sometimes get. It is fine. I search. I have a result. Cool.
2. The free trial is 100 month searches. I have used Kagi for less than eight hours and I am at 81/100.
It is $5 a month for 300 searches, which according to Google and DuckDuckGo, is three times as much as the average user.
A lot of people laugh at the fact that the X logo was chosen from some dude via a haphazard "competition" in Elon's mentions.
I once worked for a company that spent several thousand pounds paying a consultant to envision a rebrand, and when displeased with the results, commissioned a logo off of fiverr.com. It worked fine for years, until a recent rebrand where they decided to capitalise the famous lowercase portion of their brand name/logo... for some reason. I hate it.
"Well, if you were Elon how would YOU do it James?"
I wouldn't. I would sell the domain for a pretty penny to some dickhead, give the money to the trans daughter I pretend doesn't exist, and then I'd walk directly into the sea.
Now, for a brand with that much fame and web presence, it's a really hard task. And, changing "twimg" and "chirp" in all your services and assets is going to presumably break a lot of that web presence.
But, this is all plannable. There could be, oh I don't know, strategy. Time could be taken.
Their Page Title on about.twitter.com still says "About Twitter" but has X branding.
Their meta description (which displays in link embeds) still reads "Download the Twitter logo"
For some reason, the ugly orange X favicon on that page is named "https://abs.twimg.com/favicons/twitter-orange.3.ico"
