20 days agoYeah, from my experience I believe Kagi’s results are like 90%+ pulled from Brave’s search index. I like the concept of Kagi, but I prefer SearXNG as a search aggregator.

When the citations are on point, I like AI search. 9 times out of 10 I care enough to read the source though.
However, there are still way too many hallucinations when it comes to sources in my experience. It just wastes my time when I go to verify and find that AI just spat out garbage.
Anyone have an opinion on Perplexity compared to Brave Search?
I really value Brave having their own independent search index. Google, Bing, and Yandex have dominated the space for quite some time.
I know Perplexity claims to have a small / curated independent index, but I’m not really sure how true that is.
111·1 month agoAgainst my better judgement, I’ll take a crack at this.
American racism, as displayed in the Family Guy meme, is based on skin color. In Israel/Palestine, racism is not based on skin color. Jews aren’t all light skinned, and Arabs aren’t all dark skinned.
Nope. It’s a prominent one, but by no means the “main” media outlet. It’s also largely in opposition to Netanyahu and his coalition.
As of July 31, 2023, a TGI survey indicated that Israel Hayom, distributed for free, is Israel’s most read newspaper, with a 29.4% weekday readership exposure, followed by Yedioth Ahronoth, with 22.3%, Haaretz with 4.8%, Globes with 4% and Maariv with 3.9%.[1]
21·1 month agoI’ve used syncthing for this, and personally found it to work really well.
I’ve heard Taildrop (Tailscale feature), works pretty good too.
Heroic Games Launcher is a pretty smooth experience on Linux for what it’s worth. It works well for GOG, Epic, and Amazon Games.
I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.
Would you accept a reputable long form publication?
Come back when you actually know something instead of vaguely gesturing at possibilities. My argument and sources were clear. I spent too much time digging already, and forgive me if I don’t want to spend even more time researching every suggestion for your 9 day old Lemmy account.
There is an obvious cultural connection between different Arabic Islamic extremist groups in the Middle East. Yes there will be cultural differences, and differences in dialect, but the meaning of this word isn’t one of them.
Best I can tell, other native Arabic speakers do not agree with what you say.
Yes it does. Hamas isn’t some benevolent force of freedom fighters. The language and ideology of ISIS and Hamas are one and the same.
Sabaya سبايا has a specific meaning in the context and culture in which is was used. That meaning was used to degrade and frighten the captives. It’s by no means a stretch of the imagination to believe this
Connotation also matters. Sabaya (or saby for short) was a specific term that ISIS used to refer to their female sex slaves.
After that link I literally added redacted screenshots of a primary source that was published by ISIS
It does not matter what the publisher of the document in the first link thinks about Zionism. I don’t know and I don’t care.
Because the hostage families decided to release recovered footage to put additional pressure on getting them released.
Also, because I went down the rabbit hole trying to find info on this stuff, I think I’ll share additional evidence I gathered. Specifically that sabaya (or saby for short) has been used in the context of ISIS taking female slaves (often for sex).
From Infatuated with Martyrdom Female Jihadism from Al-Qaeda to the ‘Islamic State’
Clippings from Dabiq Magazine (English Language Magazine Published by ISIS):
From the infamous Reddit AMA: https://archive.ph/s2tqH
This article from November of last year would dispute your claim.
A group of young girls; صبايا
With the letter; Sad / ص
e.g. “girls / 9abaya” went out for a walk.
This word is not a conversation here, just for clarification. — A group of women/girls of war’s loot — (sex slaves); سبايا
With the letter; S/س
Sabaya سبايا which are literally the war’s loot of girls/women, and according to Islam is Halal.
The word “Sabaya” unequivocally means “women captives at war for sex”.

Have you ever looked at the DeArrow extension?
I’ve personally gone with an N100 Mini PC running Proxmox and two of these daisy-chained (purchased on sale). https://www.amazon.com/MAIWO-Enclosure-Cooling-Storage-Expansion/dp/B0D28Q187R/
The MAIWO DAS uses garbage JMicron firmware by default, and there are significant issues with their sleep functions. Because of that, it took me forever to figure out why SnapRAID kept failing mid-sync. Fortunately, new firmware seems to have fixed their issues and they’ve been rock solid ever since. I specifically had to update the firmware for all 4 of the USB controllers on each DAS.
Direct link to firmware that worked for me. https://gbatemp.net/attachments/bin-16028_jms578_std_v00-04-01-04_self_power_odd_20190611-zip.230929/
