CachyOS update brings improvements for PC gaming handhelds, the installer and more

I've been running cachy since probably middle of last year and it's been a wonderful experience. No problems whatsoever that I can remember. The "octopi" package manager takes a bit of getting used to, but once I was over that, it's been smooth sailing ever since. Highly recommended distro, and getting even better all the time! When Epoch 2 of Cosmic DE comes out, I'll reflash my entire system with cachy cosmic.

so ... exactly how is an "internet enabled device" such as a light bulb supposed to conduct age assurance. This is all so stupid it just gives me a headache to even think about.

Xbox "Project Helix" confirmed to run Xbox and PC games - competition for the Steam Machine

I mean, this is xbox we are talking about here ... It's a dumpster fire of epic proportions in almost every single aspect right now (for a long time?). Their glorious new ai overlord boss announcing something like this means absolutely nothing whatsoever. I would wager she just yesterday learned about some vague plans for this "project helix" that Phil had cooking, and today wanted to get some kind of announcement out to detract from all the negative bad press xbox and microsoft have been getting.

this SCREAMS of a vibe coded disaster. And if they are doing something so amateur as this bug, just IMAGINE what else is going on with this game that's not discovered / disclosed. Imagine how much WAS happening that got patched that will never get disclosed. Horrible devs.

Sony PlayStation reportedly moving away from PC ports

This feels like such a bigbrain csuite executive decision that has no basis in reality.

I fear for the fate of Nixxes ... seriously one of the best development studio ever. Their optimizations on the various ports were literally some of the best from a technical standpoint ... ever.

I really had a great time in Horizon Zero Dawn (not so much forbidden west) and spent the crazy high premium costs to buy those games. Oh well, I suppose they don't want that income. There's an approximate 0% chance I'll go "ohhhhhh lordy me I suppose I will just have to go get a playstation 6".

Factory building sim Shapez 2 hits the big 1.0 in April with major upgrades
4 Mar 2026 at 3:15 pm UTC

YESSSS!!!! This is so exciting!

Although: I'm a little scared. Maybe a lot. April is usually a busy work month. I should just pre-email all my contacts and be like "sorry stuff is delayed, I'm playing Shapez leave me alone"

This game is gonna be SO GOOD on release! I mean it already is but Manufacture Mode sounds wonderful.

Quoting: Stellawhat about Docker containers???? Do I need to enter my age for every single Docker container that gets created? In companies they get created and destroyed by the thousand each day. This is beyond ridiculous.
Of course my friend this is an easy solution! We the benevolent hyper intelligent best ever government of all time United States of Murica will simply dispatch a government monitor employee lizard I mean human being to help you click the proper boxes that we will mandate that totally exist when you are creating those docksners so the lizard I mean human being can report back and ensure everything is on the up and up.
