Best thing about Evernote was its web clipping extensions... anyone use one that's as good or better..?

Nice generalising there... given all my friends are Android/Windows users I wasn't trying to show off when I switched over, I just wanted an ecosystem that works when I want to do something... too many times in both Windows and Mint did I have to spend time setting up the system to do something instead of just getting on with it.
Do we have a Fediverse equivalent of Facebook yet..?
Nice ad hominem...
He was also creative director for the original Ultima Online game and Star Wars Galaxies... both awesome and innovative MMOs at the time...
It wasn't a requirement, they made changes with the intention that it would always take at least two seconds.
The teams just adapted and got better again.
I mean I guess it could happen... so I guess why trust anyone? May as well just switch it all off!
The problem isn't raising awareness imo, god knows there's enough information out there constantly... the battle now is getting people to care/believe.
In that respect, my view is that JSOs approach is counterproductive. I support protest around this, but it needs to be better than this.
This article is a pretty good summary of why, by Google's own words, an ad driven search experience will be rubbish:

Not only does Kagi produce great search results, as good as "old Google" IMO, its business model means the above cannot (or at least, shouldn't) happen. If it ever changed its model to include ads etc it would collapse so fast.
So for me, unlike the other poster, I'd recommend it to everyone who's finding the existing search engines are rubbish and full of useless Etsy and SEO etc links.

Playing devil's advocate, I'd argue the in the wild community testing is more likely to uncover an edge case that the formal testing didn't envisage..? 🤷🏻♂️
The idea is it gives enough time for competition to establish and then everyone completes on an even footing without fettering the original monopoly after it's no longer a monopoly in that space... arguably it worked as Chrome took over but all that's happened it it made a new monopoly 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks, will give it a try!
