You should be using kagi.com instead of Google. No AI summaries, paid subscription but with free searches. No data collection on customers. And you can uprank, downrank sites in results! And block sites too! And block AI pictures in image searches!

kagi.com

Kagi Search - A Premium Search Engine

Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

Or just make the switch to the excellent @kagi.com which enables whatever you want instead of fighting you at every step 😜 (yes, it's paid search, but that's also why they have aligned incentives) bsky.app/profile/xyzz...

Absolutely! That was my main motivation to build it in the first place, to get regular reminders of that serene alien landscape, and of all the science and brilliant people involved in making those images possible. I'm so glad others find it joyful/educational/peaceful/awe-inspiring too!

Due to the high volume, the solution has to work as part of an automated script, and that's where it becomes complicated to give descriptions that are guaranteed to be accurate every time. In lieu of that, I opted to stick to the generic alt text since I can't manually verify accuracy.

Niraj Sanghvi‽ @niraj.com · 22/12/2025

Hey, I definitely understand and appreciate the request! The trouble I've had is finding a solution that works at the scale of images that can appear in this feed. The raw images themselves don't have context, so it's hard to come up with useful descriptions that are consistently accurate.

Someone put up a tile mosaic on a public building in Seattle showing a rat looking to the heavens, with the title “Hot Rat Summer.” The city painted over it. So of course, the rat showed up at a city council meeting to protest

A rat (or a person in a rat costume, who could say) speaks at a city council meeting. In the background a security guard looks too old for this shit.

Feels like the studio system is truly broken when even Rob Delaney and Bill Hader (who mentioned this on the A24 podcast) are having trouble getting their own movies made. We need more A24s and Neons willing to embrace the unconventional and the exciting. These should be easy greenlights!

This is a nice thread about The Onion. Thank you for saying nice things, and I can confirm the premise: If you pay your staff well, and you allow them to do what they're great at, it works better than chasing algorithms. The art is better, the truth is found easier, and—bonus!—the revenue is better.

Cannot recommend @kagi.com enough! Paid search that feels like OG Google and actually respects users...no AI overviews by default (unless you want one by simply adding a question mark to your query) and they just added this for AI images too bsky.app/profile/kagi...

That Core Time 2 was an instant buy for me! My only feature request for potential future versions (since I imagine these are locked in for h/w) is supporting NFC payments, though I imagine that's not straightforward. In any case, congrats on the launch and thanks for reviving the spirit of Pebble!
