Who is this “they” that killed Google Keep? In what way did they do so? The only thing I’ve found is that the Chrome app was discontinued in 2021 as part of the general push to get rid of Chrome apps, but that has no real effect on anyone’s ability to use the service.


Paying to run it on someone else’s computer. WPEngine charge $130/month for the level of their Essential plan that’s supposed to handle 100,000 visits/month. That’s $1560/year, which is near enough to his claim that it’s probably what he was on.


Unfortunately DuckDuckGo sucks ass at search, even compared to how much the Google search results have degraded over time. I use the no-AI version as my primary search engine, but I have to resort to using Google to find the thing I’m looking for about 1 in 5 times.


For future reference: “throwing hands” means initiating a fight, it’s a piece of slang that is very distinct from throwing your hands (up/in the air.)


Your behaviour is indistinguishable from that of someone who is defending them, since you’re arguing their side of the lawsuit. The magazine is legally required to publish a reply which is “suc­cinct and con­fine[s] it­self to the sub­ject mat­ter of the con­ten­tious rep­res­ent­a­tion,” not any given reply that Palantir wants to make. As quoted at several removes, “Republik’s managing director Katharina Hemmer said Palantir had wanted the magazine to publish a very lengthy counterstatement to each article. Republik believed the proposed statements did not fairly address or rebut the reporting”
