Don't worry, eventually Google's current project to replace all their own search results with their own "AI" sludge will make using them impossible to get credible information from too. :(

It's annoying fragmentation when even for a stable distributable package there's flatpak as a standard, and I've never seen why Ubuntu needs their own with a proprietary store.

Like I generally tend to favor native packages, but I can at least appreciate Flatpaks having advantages and times even I want to use them. (Largely when stuff is a pain to compile on Arch for library reasons.) Snap is a non-universal universal package format.

(Also going to shout out AppImages, which are an entire package as a single ELF file you can run on basically any distro. I'm not sure how good they are for important work, but I just think they're neat and have come in handy for running stuff on old CentOS in the past.)

Neo Turf Masters. Picked it up recently for the first time and it's the first time everything in a golf game has just intuitively clicked with me in terms of "oh, that's what each club does". Throw in fast pacing and simple controls and I got really hooked in a way I never do with sports games personally.

The most baffling thing modern search engines do, especially DuckDuckGo, is a page of search results in they inevitably throw in some unrelated results involving my location as looked up by my IP.

I'm not sure why when looking for old Sega console stuff it wants me to know about plumbers in what it thinks my city is, but it's sure dedicated to me finding out! :facepalm:

I use Firefox Beta on Android because it lets you use arbitrary extensions unlike the stable version at the moment. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but it means that in addition to uBlock Origin on mobile (the killer app of Firefox Android IMHO), I've also got Redirector set up to redirect all visits to Imgur/Reddit/sigh Twitter (if I have to) to the proxies out there like LibReddit or Rimgo so I don't have to log in or be tracked at much. (There's an extension called LibRedirector that gets recommended that automates the process better, but it's really flakey in my experience.)

Otherwise just got all the usual security settings turned up.

They had nvidia and lib32-nvidia-utils out of synch with lib32-nvidia-utils not updated to the new version yet. That's been fixed, although I don't know if that'll fix this particular issue.

I own an N-Gage and a copy of Rifts: Promise of Power for it signed by the creator of Rifts (famously batshit and dubiously designed Tabletop RPG), Kevin Siembieda.

...It was too funny of a thing not to pick up when I saw it at a relatively cheap price. :P
