FWIW Kagi has always been an AI company and frequently rolls out new AI features. They just let you opt out, same as DDG. Also the guy who runs it is kind of a jackass.

Comment on Donald Trump's US Internal Revenue Service settlement bars the agency from pursuing unpaid tax claims it may have against him, his family, or businesses in ~society
moonwalker Link- The DOJ's settlement of Trump's lawsuit related to his leaked tax returns includes a sweeping pledge, POLITICO reports.
- The IRS is "forever barred" from pursuing "examinations" of Trump, "related or affiliated individuals," and related businesses.
- The waiver specifically encompasses "tax returns filed before the effective date" of the settlement, which was Monday.

And probably way easier to track/expose a money trail if they're being dark...I would prefer that actually. There is some higher level of accountability/shame/repercussions, at least theoretically.

The problem was that they decided to turn it into a five-film franchise then and there. It’s obvious that it’s going to get stale by the time they make that fifth film, and likely far before then.
Errr no, that's not the timeline at all. Cameron has been vocal since the release of the first that he had a storyline spanning many movies. The 2nd and 3rd were shot at the same time, and that was the plan since 2010. Five films were confirmed in 2016.

This is an interesting acknowledgement considering Proton has their own vendor lock-in mechanisms. When you stop paying...
It's actually easier to transition off Google than Proton. Granted this can all be avoided if you own a domain and use that for email addresses, but most people get burned before realizing that.
