There's actually a built in way to remove them in settings. System Settings -> Menu Bar.

You can uncheck or drag items around in the menu bar and group some inside of the menu bar control (and even create new menu bar controls).

I wish you could add third party apps to them, maybe that'll be next. But it's nice you can hide any apps icon right there.

This is for the icons in the drop-down menus, not the icons in the menu bar.

This is not what the article is about though?

It could have used a screen shot.

Read Tonsky for that. https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/ a disgrace. https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/writing_direction@2x.webp...

Seems a bit deceptive to say "No cloud, no subscription, runs locally" when it still needs an api.

From head of README

“ Free, open source, runs locally. No cloud, no subscription beyond a free AISStream API key.”

I mean we don’t have the vessels floating around live locally inside machine :) Gotta get the AIS messages from somewhere

And the webserver is running locally, this is not web based, that’s the no cloud part

The real issue is copilot is implemented in their apps inconsistently. Very clear there’s little cross app planning. Apples solution is global and apps and hook into it or not. And if you turn it off apps done break.

Absolutely could be a clouded windshield on the inside (where it's really hard for normal people to clean). I brought this up when I got my last Model Y that it was foggy and they said it was "fine". Took it into service over a year ago and noticed they cleaned it. Clearly it's a problem but they're not being too transparent about it. I suspect they don't want to because it's not the easiest thing to remove the cover for normal people to clean.

Recent Tesla updates will detect dirty glass inside the camera enclosure and offer to schedule (one!) free glass cleaning. You can do it yourself if you have a trim tool. (A thin plastic prybar) https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/3327/tesla-now-offers-free...

I’ve suspected that’s where these “ethical” (as they like to call it) residential proxy services get their access from. They’re really dodgy about it other than saying the people agree to it, which ya ok.

I hate about full access to Reddit? Discord? Have you tried accessing the internet from a location with these laws in place?

They’re starting to with their stopslop. Sites that are mostly ai content get flagged and deranked. Still not perfect and I think they only just started working on the backlog of reports so hopefully it holds up helping.

I do agree actually but I’m sticking with them. Their mission of ending slop but also pushing ai tools seem at odds. On one hand they’re marketing to the anti ai crowd while also joining the ai hype? It’s weird.

As I'm not familiar with how Kagi is "pushing ai tools" this is mostly a comment on the framing of your question.

Are you really saying that a company specializing in search - natural language oriented at its core - should not make use of the biggest technological revolution for processing natural language?

No, I meant their push of their assistant, summarizer, and news product (which is ai generated summaries).

I have the complete opposite experience and it works wonders for me.

It's kind of silly since they're just containers it runs anyways. I'm sure there's other reasons. At least running it as a VM isn't too hard. Pretty easy to use their image and run from that.
