    A couple years ago, I was discussing #Google and their tendency to discontinue products with someone. I remember expressing that: I strongly doubt Google will sunset search or email any time soon, but I would be worried about relying on their less popular products.

    Well. They've now discontinued search. I'm speechless.

    What are people moving to? DDG? (Or will DDG follow in Google's footsteps, like they followed in replacing the info box at the top with a chat bot?)

    @mort have been using Kagi for about a year, works great (had to pay for it but honestly it’s worth it imo)

    @lexplt I checked out Kagi a bit just now, they seem pretty sold on AI? They seem to promote Kagi Assistant quite heavily

    @mort yeah… on the AI side they seem okay, no training on your searches, so not using it even though it’s included seems okayish
    Same as with proton for me, they have Lumo AI which I don’t want to use, but on all the other sides they are good for me
