The @gamingonlinux Telegram group is still getting bigots appear that I keep having to ban.

Just now one came in, replied to me directly and said “you don’t even know what gender you are, so your word is garbage”

Uhhh? 😂

It's almost June, so get ready for every company to suddenly pretend to care about LGBT rights and change their social media profiles to have a rainbow!

Saw another article about Steam Deck that said "Proton-based Steam OS"

Come on, how hard is it to get this shit right multiple years after Steam Deck released.

Hi, most annoying person you've ever encountered here! I noticed this toot you wrote in 3 seconds while pooping doesn't line up with every experience I've ever had. This is extremely harmful to me, the main character of the universe.

With all these stupid Google AI screenshots... The problem isn't so much that LLMs aren't really AI, or that they're not accurate. The problem is the tech companies trying to line their pockets by selling you the idea that LLMs are AI and can be accurate and trusted to answer questions.

It's a tool specifically designed to produce output that convinces you it is exactly what it was asked to be. It's fooling tech giants and they're using it to fool you.

Don't fall for it.

The gaming industry is nuts.

Just got an email about an event for “news announcements. and content updates across 150+ titles”

150 titles!?

I’m no marketing guru but…that seems like an overload that will just cause lots to get swallowed up.

Oh wow, the RPS team are clearly throwing some shade around with their recent articles after the IGN purchase 😅, after Alice was laid off.

Multiple one-liner articles following a "best Alices" gaming article. One article was just "buy my old chair" lmao.

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.

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 👌

Sigh. Google flagged https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/classic-rts-perimeter-returns-as-perimeter-legate-edition-with-linux-support/page=1/ as containing "Malicious or unwanted software" with no way on the adsense control panel to speak to them, to get them to recheck it.

It's a news article about a game, that links to the GPL source code (GitHub) and a Steam page.

What about that is "Malicious or unwanted software" exactly?
