'tis but a joke. I’m still learning Rust, and really appreciate the borrow checker.

cries into the chest of the borrow checker

I’d never posit that all reviewers are pandering to large publishers, but rather that the majority have absolutely seen score creep that now rewards mediocrity with 7/10 in order to maintain access. This is why I unapologetically turn to a more trusted source first.

It absolutely is. Not to whinge over the state of the gaming press as I’m not one of those guys, but with that said I personally stack weight behind EG’s reviews before looking elsewhere. Not to say that they are the best/most objective in their field, but rather that they are consistent and don’t seem to pander to publishers. Happy to hear of any other sites that leave others feeling the same.

…and to be honest, after reading a bit more the game doesn’t look bad, only middling.

Eurogamer - 2/5 Stars - “Stripped-back Ubisoft formula is admirable yet doomed”

Shocker.

Edit: Apologies for starting this off negative. I’m just tired of Ubisoft and AAA in general and didn’t intend to knock the shine off of something that some folks are looking forward to.

Well there’s a provocative anecdote if I’ve ever seen one. Well done.

Since moving to Linux this is at least the second time there have been issues with MS screwing up dual boot via grub. I switched to systemd-boot after the first incident, and thank goodness for that.

Good to know, thanks for the heads-up.

Have fun.

An improvement.

Sigh
Here’s what I consider to be a solid summary of the situation.

You can also install wallpaper plugins from the KDE store for your lock screen background. I’m a fan of City Grow.

Sunshine/Moonlight works well for me also.

I have an 8 year old Acer aspire and it works great for coding. I’ve learned a lot about both of those languages with zero worries and recently moved the OS over to nix with excellent results.

Well, I’ve got good news, you can do both at the same time with the patented cyber-bullet! When it implants, it implants 100 percent of the time.

He’s gone from suck to blow.

I run a SearXNG instance myself and while it is a fine aggregator, it’s important to note what it is and isn’t. For instance, Sear does not have a dedicated search index and leans on third party API calls (to indexes such as the aforementioned Google and DDG listings.) This is my understanding, feel free to correct it.

For my money, I like the anonymity that Sear can afford and that it hides the AI bullshit pouring into the UIs. My son and I were talking over the weekend about how unreliable he is finding the move to AI search.

Edit: A list of public SearXNG instances for anyone that doesn’t want to spin up their own.

Not for a while now, I continued to use it after switching to AMD. It’s regularly being updated, give it a try.
