Quoting: tmtvlI don't care about the Steam Machine, but hopefully an early 2026 release also means an early 2026 release for the Steam Controller 2.

This VR thing whose name was so generic that I seem to have forgotten it even though I'd pay a thousand bucks for it...!

"Frame". It's Frame, right?

Quoting: _wojteksadly tiny but super vocal butt-hurt minority

Duckduckgo did a survey [External Link] asking their userbase if they wanted AI features. They closed the poll after a week or so, 175K votes counted, and 90% said no, they don't want AI.

Yes, it's very skewed - DDG's userbase is privacy-focused. But "tiny but super vocal butt-hurt minority" is a shitty and antagonistic way to describes people's perfectly valid dislike of this planet-burning technology.

_wojtek spoke about those that still spread hate even with being able to easily turn it off. I don't think this can be associated with all people not wanting AI active in their browsers.

Yes, there's still reasons to dislike it. But hey, if nearly nobody wants AI, nearly nobody's gonna use it, right?

Quoting: Aaron SparksA very small downtick from people that switched and ran away at the first sight of trouble or realized they couldn’t play battlefield 6 maybe?🤣 At least globally user count is up.

The survey is not exact enough to look at every 0.1% up or down. Better look at whole years.

Quoting: apocalyptechRight, but as I said earlier: a banner image on a site is just the tip of the iceberg. Their recent job posting for a Senior Software Dev required active use of AI Tools and internal advocacy to increase adoption of AI Tools across the whole organization.

Not sure if you are working in the industry, but mandated AI tool use is pretty much the norm now.

Well, I got mandated AI tools in the meaning of I'm not allowed to use other AI tools. "required active use of AI Tools" sounds quite different though.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThat flow of +Chinese -Linux is fairly normal by now.
I wonder what is it that makes Chinese rise and ebb so sporadically - you'd think it would be a more or less constant chunk.

It was rumoured to be the difficulty of how to count internet/gaming cafes.

Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) 64 bit 1.74% +0.02%

That was me, yesterday. ;)

*edit* As yesterday was February already, I'm probably part of the rise next month.

... plus, it asked me on my second computer as well today! (Running Debian Trixie. Of course. ;) )

Antheas (Antheas Kapenekakis), who was previously part of the Bazzite team and creator of the Handheld Daemon project, but ended up being kicked out due to "repeated violations of our Code of Conduct".

Maybe I'm going to regret asking but what did that guy do?

Making software and hardware working together, which is actually quite hard, very technical and a bit boring.
For example, it makes so that Linux can connect to the internet on an handeld with some wifi modem and antenna but unusual linking or that the software you use can access the position of the analogues sticks.

My guess is that the question was about the claimed "repeated violations of our Code of Conduct".

Quoting: msmafraKyle Gospodnetich made things clearer today https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/correction-regarding-gpd-win5-support-for-bazzite/11574 [External Link]

I find the following absolutely reasonable and correct though?

A GPD representative appears to be directing their users to a discord other than our own for support as well.

They shouldn't direct the users to the Bazzite people to do the support for GPD, right?!?

Quoting: PhlebiacBoth this and Zelda64 crash out when I select the "Load ROM" menu option. I'm guessing it's supposed to show a file picker?

If you want to deep dive, strace would probably tell you what they're trying to load there.
