Yes but you only get the subsidy if you buy Melania's book

Except the old movies are much better when compared side by side to the new ones, nostalgia or not.

If the phone saves its state before rebooting, why would that help? It will still be accessible after the reboot. What's the attack vector?

Kagi has good search results and they are presented well. It also has some useful features like forbidding certain sites and prioritizing others. I like that by paying I'm the customer and not the product. And their "small web" initiative is commendable.

That said, I've been a customer for nine months on an annual subscription, and I will not be renewing. The first reason is that I find them just too expensive for what they do. The second is that, even being that expensive, they're not breaking even. That undermines my trust in their future as a search engine and makes me less interested in paying a little extra for a good cause.

Yeah, won't work well with multiplayer games though since they typically have anticheats that don't play well with Linux.

It's wild that they are not breaking even with these prices. I've had an annual subscription since January and made nearly 5000 searches. Extrapolating to a year, I will have been paying about $0.17 per search. If that would go to the electricity bill then it corresponds to about 1 kWh of energy per search, enough to run a 50-watt laptop PC for 20 hours.

I own my PC. The annoying thing is that I might have to pay a subscription for the gaming OS that I dual-boot to sometimes. Might just make me buy a console instead. OTOH, Sony already charges exorbitant subscription prices for the ability to play online.

It's a school activity, why isn't the school paying for the materials

We continue to see softening demand and macro headwinds in our core business

Maybe if you didn't raise your prices to finance dumb investments, the demand for your core business wouldn't falter.

If anything I think people's poor economy is forcing them to get rid of luxuries like Dropbox, and the way for Dropbox to stay relevant is to let prices follow the economy of their customers down.
