we should be less vague about what AI was used for
I agree as well, because it very much depends on what you use AI for.
If it’s for prototyping or very minor things players wouldn’t even notice, it’s fine and I wouldn’t put that kind of use on the same level of companies who want to use AI to outright replace workers just to cut costs.
Maybe I’m too old, but I never understood the appeal of game passes, you can’t play hundreds of games at the same time unless you have nothing else to do in your life, and most of them are garbage anyway.
Only reasonable subscription model to me is MMOs, because those require a complex infrastructure to run, but non-MMO games? No thank you, I’ll just turn to indies that still sell games without any live-service bullshit.
Important notes from the article for those playing on PC:
Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform. The Steam Deck Native build is only supported on Steam Deck.
Due to the way Valve’s Deck Verified system works with it also giving the same default for Desktop Linux, you likely need to now manually force Proton on it - otherwise you’ll see it as a totally empty download. I’ve added a bug report for Valve on this one, hopefully it can be sorted.

So “AI powered” ads? Integrated into gaming? Players caring about performance will be so happy about that …
Glad I’m not using any of their crap.
Ofc they will, so the can inflate participation with bots all they want.
If bots weren’t counted, it wouldn’t actually be a bad metric IMO.

That’s typical reddit behavior, many of them brought their childish habits over to the fediverse.
Unfortunately I believe Apple hardware is unsurpassed when it comes to solid builds, care into details, functionalities and beautiful appearances.
I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years, never had problems making my desktops look good and work fine with the right cases and components, but laptops? meh
Only once in 20 years I found one that I like aesthetically and has all the compatible hardware (full Intel only), I got it at half the price because they weren’t making it anymore…
The details of origin and motives of the attack, along with mitigation tactics, are, understandably, being kept under wraps while the investigation continues
I hope they’ll disclose at least the origin, and what they think their reasons are, when it’s over.
I’m curious about who would attack Arch and why.
Any chance he’s willing to try another distro? Linux Mint maybe?
Google has too much of a long history of discontinuing their apps not long after launching them, this one won’t be any different.
Can people not search “Ed Zitron newsletter,” or “Ed Zitron podcast”? I’m kinda surprised how much this happens
Would it kill you to add the links yourself?
There you go:
What you say is especially true for laptops, those have the highest chance of having weird non-standard components that give a lot of problems on Linux.
Much easier on desktops, especially if you build your own, you get to choose which components go into it.
Nvidia is shit on laptops but it’s fine on desktops.
I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years, always had Nvidia on my self-built desktops, my experience has always been flawless, I just have to install proprietary drivers.
My experience with laptops has been hit and miss, until I learned to buy laptops “full Intel only”, on those everything works out of the box.
my script doesn’t just delete, it also edits the post and inserts “.”
That’s smart! It could actually trick the backups, since backups don’t check the content they’re actually saving.
You can try for yourself: https://reddit-wrapped.kadoa.com/
That being said, they have backups, even more so since they started selling reddit data to AI companies for training.
I seriously doubt deleting your comments would do anything on that side, tho it does make them deleted from “normal” user searches.
That’s … concerning. Kudos to that mod for making people aware of it.
Apparently anyone can do that, so I tried mine out of curiosity (I’m not a mod, never have been): https://reddit-wrapped.kadoa.com/ulu-mulu-no-die?share
This Redditor is basically a gaming savant with a spreadsheet addiction, meticulously dissecting game mechanics and then dropping mic-drop guides for the masses. When not optimizing virtual real estate or factorio builds, they’re busy troubleshooting Linux like a digital mechanic, all while subtly reminding us that their ‘fun’ involves more calculations than most people’s taxes. They’re the kind of person who’d analyze their Reddit Wrapped to see if the algorithm correctly identified their ‘efficiency at leisure’ metric.
I’ve read the entire profile and it seems to me more like satire than an actual serious summary (quite some hyperbole in there), tho it’s worrying that your entire reddit history can be analyzed so quickly.
This thing can end very badly in the wrong hands.
Ofc they’re not, they’re not made for knowledge nor intelligence, they’re made to “predict” language patterns based on probability.
That’s what they do and what they’re trained for, nothing more.

Debian 13 itself does not seem to generate any files there
I noticed that too.
I did it manually, deleted the old list file, it works fine.
The problem with Microsoft is they always try to cater to the absolute lowest denominator when it comes to users, I understand why they do it, because there are indeed some people that shouldn’t look at a computer even with a binocular, but I don’t agree with their approach nonetheless.
Being treated like a moron by an OS infuriates me and that’s why I switched to Linux many years ago.
For me personally, AI slops are destroying everything.
I don’t want to be in places where every time I read or see something I have to wonder if I’m interacting with another human or a robot, it’s awful.
And it has become also more difficult to find interesting content when at every turn you find AI crap overtaking everything else, it’s tiring.
