Kagi Translate is good software. I think Kagi's product team actually uses their own software. I often have a small frustration with something and wish for some mitigating setting or change, then go look in the settings and find exactl

Why so? For most people a computer (in the traditional keyboard/mouse sense) isn't a leisure device, a phone is. They scroll social media feeds and watch YouTube or whatever. I'm sure most of us on HN use them for leisure, bu

For many people the phone is the only computing device they use. Keeping portability and offering a larger display is a compelling offering for those people. I tend to agree with you.

I empathize, I hate the bloated JS-heavy web and avoid it when I can. I just don't see a better solution. The options for me are: sacrifice some legit users by using Anubis, or sacrifice all users by shutting down my service because I

How do you figure it hurts real users? The amount of compute/energy used on the proof of work is pretty minimal. You're using more when you watch a YouTube video or browse a JS-heavy web app. Of course a sophisticated scraper can

That's a real distinction, you're right to point it out.

Or it might come to be that rejecting LLM-authored or LLM-assisted contributions becomes a badge of quality, and users gravitate to them to avoid buggy, inconsistent, or non-performant versions of the same software.

That's a better analogy than my dumb drawing one. You can be happy you got your pizza and you can enjoy the taste but it is not an accomplishment to be proud of.
