Not necessarily.

Ubisoft might argue that it will open up another attack vector, with isn't entirely unreasonable. But they could support it.

I can't say having to fiddle around with Proton versions is exactly intuitive, though it has gotten better since last I tried it a year or so ago.

It is still not quite as smooth as it is on Windows, and I have tech-normie friends who want to do nothing more than download and press play.

BattlEye supports Linux, Ubisoft doesn't.

EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye both support Linux/Proton, though not all devs have enabled/updated it.

They use it to inflate the production cost so actors/others do not get any % revenue as, technically, the movie made no money.

They, too, are working on their own index, but I cannot support that company and would suggest you seek alternatives.

And, though Ecosia/DDG don't always show what I want, it's very easy to add a !g to my already existing query and get put through to google. Which is rare, mind you, but comes in handy every so often. Does that mean it sometimes takes a *bit* of effort to get the result I'm after? Yeah, but that is a sacrifice I'm happy to make when it comes to supporting alternatives.

This blacklist is a pretty neat way to block a good amount of those AI slop results.

I think you missed a part of their comment:

Block ads and use a different search engine?

Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo have served me pretty well. Kagi also seems somewhat interesting.
Ecosia is working with Qwant on their own index, the first version of which has already gone online I believe. So they're no longer exclusively relying on Bing/Google for their back-end.

Search engines will still give Wikipedia results at the top for relevant searches. Heck, you can search Wikipedia itself directly!

Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo support some form of "bangs", if I tack !w onto my search it'll immediate go through to Wikipedia.
DuckDuckGo has even introduced an AI image filter, which is not perfect but still pretty good.

 
 

I am still holding onto my S22 for a while yet, but I am looking for something non-Samsung as my next device (probably Fairphone).

Whilst I think I can do without most of Samsung's features, I do really like the gallery app and what it offers. Background OCR so I can search for text in an image, and manual as well as automatic tags. The built-in editor is also nice, but there are alternatives for that.
The main reason I like using manual tags and OCR is for quickly sharing memes I've saved over the years.

I have resigned myself to losing the tags I've already created, as it doesn't seem those can be exported. But I have yet to find a gallery app in which I can slowly start rebuilding my set.

Here's some of what I've come across:

  • Google's gallery is not an option for me. I want to move away from big tech.
  • Aves supports tags, but is very laggy to use and has no automatic OCR/tags.
  • PhotoPrism doesn't support OCR.
  • Ente doesn't do OCR or manual tags.
  • "Gallery" looks promising, but does not yet have the feature set I'm looking for.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
