Remember how Winamp recently said they’re opening the source code “enabling the entire community to participate in its development”.

Well…

Why would people bother to contribute then? Open source licenses exist for a reason.

@killyourfm oooo did you use our lil share button? :D

Days since AI last hallucinated and suggested something terrible: 0

It just keeps going. Google AI telling people to eat rocks 😂

PCGamesN wrote up that the Steam Deck is hitting 18,000 games playable/verified. This is completely incorrect. It's closing in on 15,000.

Valve did not verify ~4,000 in only about two months 🙃

I reached out, hopefully they correct all the numbers in the article being wrong.

I see there's some sort of "how's Linux now" discourse going around Mastodon and so I'll give my brief summary:

To be blunt, Linux is just the least-shit option to run on your PC nowadays lol.

If you want a good start, try Kubuntu https://kubuntu.org/, I get along great with it. Familiar interface, without all the shovelled shit Microsoft constantly try to force on you. Same KDE Plasma interface Valve use for Steam Deck's Desktop Mode.

“IGN Entertainment acquires Eurogamer, GI, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and more

New owner makes redundancies across the Gamer Network portfolio”

Woooow. There’s so few independent sites left, most major sites are now under the same roof.

Sounds like a privacy nightmare. You should consider #Linux 👍

One day this will type of stuff will end up mandatory, and even if it’s local it’s being fed into an AI. This stuff will get abused.

Just a reminder that if all you want is my actual news, just use the RSS. Social media is for shit-posting, or in this case, piss-posting.

Google AI just telling people to drink piss. Perfect, no notes.
