Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Well I'm not trying to push you, you make your own choice, but you could just not use it at work (or only use it at work) and have something different on other devices.
Yeah I get that, but I guess it depends on how you count. Kagi has some of their own index, but mostly it's a search aggregator (like searx). They pay for queries to google etc, and use the Russian Yandex for Russian results because it's apparently the only one that gets good results in Russian. From my understanding, not searching in Russian/Russia location wouldn't trigger a search to Yandex so wouldn't give them money, so I guess it's more a principle thing than literal money to Yandex/Russia.
For AI it's the same, they pay per query. No queries means no money to AI companies, so it's more about principles than actual your money going to them (if you don't use it). Kagi doesn't force AI results on you (by default it will show AI if you end your search with a question mark, but you can disable that too).
