Thinking more on all this #AI shite and search engines. It just makes RSS and social media following more important than ever before right? Ways to properly follow what you want. Good thing @gamingonlinux has and RSS feed: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/rss/

Epic €1.1m fined for breaking EU consumer law in Netherlands "The investigation also found that countdown timers were used on some advertisements for items that were still available in the shop even after the countdown ended." Naughty naughty. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/epic-11m-fined-for-breaking-eu-consumer-law-in-netherlands

Moderating can be hilarious. Banned someone on the @gamingonlinux website recently for being terrible. They made a new account, and the new email used was literally their old username. They were being terrible again, so banned. They just emailed to complain, claiming no ban evasion as it’s their first account. My dude, your old original account email is basically the full name you just used to email me abbreviated 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

The more I use a Steam Deck, the more I feel big boxes hooked permanently to a single TV are ridiculous. Pick up and play anywhere, with the ability to hook up to a TV is just…so much better! If Valve doesn’t do a Steam Deck 2 I will be quite sad. The OLED design is basically perfect. Just bump up the APU in 2 years time 👌

If you wondering how I deal with anti-trans people in the @gamingonlinux Discord this should give you an idea: I don't stand for it.

Crytivo just get more weird. First they started pandering to Musk, trying to get his attention and wanting him as a god in their game... Now they're posting about boob physics for a farming game.

The amount of people that keep posting about being on “Main” for Steam Deck updates, then complaining on Reddit about stuff broken 🤦♂️ Stop. Using. It. It’s hidden behind developer options for a reason. Want to test stuff early that’s somewhat ready? Stick to Preview.

So like...can I just save and quit for a while or nah?

"Half of online traffic in 2024 generated by bots, report finds" Oh god. https://securitybrief.co.nz/story/half-of-online-traffic-in-2024-generated-by-bots-report-finds

Every time I see an age-gate. Me: *flicks the mouse wheel*, why yes, I was born in 1960 thank you for letting me in.

The death of physical media gives me so many mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's kinda wasteful isn't it. All those plastic boxes. On the other: you don't know when digital will just be taken away from you. And at some point it probably will be taken away from you somehow. Makes me nostalgic for the times opening presents when younger, and even only a few years ago, and it was some cool game or Bluray/DVD.

So uh, I recently re-made a Reddit account, purely because I wanted to follow a few specific things. A post from /r/steamdeck showed up, complaining about how bad the sub is full of nonsense posts. I commented...and got permanently banned. Lmao. Don't ever dare to comment about the state of the sub.

Reddit strikes again lol "Don't bother linking GOL. They just copy-paste real news for the ad impressions." https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1bz0a4h/comment/kymsuho/ It's just properly funny at this point how toxic Reddit is. Also ironic, given that was commented on...Reddit. A place full of bots, adverts, it's gonna sell you out to AI and by posting all you're doing is helping them

God damn the #Helldivers2 marketing team are hilarious. "Somehow, the Automatons returned." bahahaha, what a star wars rip, love it |
