My understanding is that a locally hosted SearXNG instance doesn't really give you any privacy, unless you "dilute" your searches by letting others do searches from your instance too.

I wish things worked that way, but I suspect EA will continue to persist as a tumor.

Checking for a filter is kinda a mandatory first step for dealing with LLMs these days.

This is a Steam Deck community, so I expect the answers will all be pro-steam deck, so keep that in mind.

I generally believe the Deck is better, but the Ally does have its strengths.

• The ally is more powerful, at the cost of battery life. Battery life is also comparatively terrible on low power games, games that last 8 hours on the deck will kill the Ally in ~2.5 hours for some reason.

• The ally, being windows based, supports some multiplayer games that won't run on the Deck due to anti cheat. So if your main focus is a call of duty or fortnite handheld, you'll either want the Ally or to install windows on the Deck. Here's a list of anticheat games and whether they work on the deck or no. For any non-anticheat games, you can usually assume they'll work.

The deck is going to be better on most everything else, from being able to suspend/resume mid game (I can't overstate how important this is for how I use the deck), controls, user experience, battery life, compatibility with older games, warranty coverage, and more.

So if you only want to play the newest most demanding AAA games or one of the non- supported multiplayer games, you may want an Ally. But for everything else I would recommend a Deck.

I'm willing to forgive ffmpeg because it can do an insane amount of stuff. It's nice to know whenever I have a weird media related need (converting a file, cropping and compressing a video for discord, etc) that I already have a tool capable of doing it on my machine. Just takes a quick search for the command and I'm ready to go.

To be honest, I kept a text file of all my most common ffmpeg commands in my video folder for quick reference.

I have heard that different video game related income jobs are some of the most profitable available in a lot of lower income countries. Things like levelling up new accounts for players can make them more money than most of their other available options.

So I'm not surprised to hear that Roblox can be a big money maker for those people. And it has been a decent gateway into game development for people, I know that the Lethal Company dev got his start making Roblox games for example.

I do feel like the payout for Roblox should be higher though, being able to cash out for only 25% of the buy in value seems steep.

Glad to help, I hope you get it working!

Good news is you're not alone, looks like the default controls are messed up for everyone. The ProtonDB listing for the game only has 5 reports, but 3 of them mention the default keybindings being messed up.

The PC gaming wiki has instructions for fixing this problem on windows. The issue is that the steam and retail versions of the game install a french keyboard layout for AZERTY. I'm not exactly sure how to fix it on linux though, you could possibly use protontricks (installable from the discover store), select the game prefix for DMoMaM, run regedit to edit the registry, and then delete the layout from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts. Otherwise, your best bet is probably just to manually change the keybinds back. Here's what the default keybinds should be, and here's the AZERTY layout for reference.

Thanks!

Did you use a mod manager for the mods?

The "test drive a win" where it would generate AI images of people as lottery winners was a real thing, and they have taken it down.

Only larger news outlet I see covering it is Fox news. They cite the "mynorthwest.com" as their main source, but they do say that they recieved a statement from the lottery confirming that it was shutdown for that reason:

Washington's Lottery confirmed to Fox News Digital that it shut down the site after being made aware of the purported image.

Obviously a lot of people don't like Fox news, but I don't think there's a political agenda where that statement shouldn't be trusted.

I'm not that guy, but I recently switched off of DDG because I've been getting so frustrated with the results quality. I'm not sure if it actually got worse or not, I just know it's not good enough.
