I will confess that I have obsessively watched merge requests on a daily basis
I can remember back when that one feature I waited for was a functioning DX11 driver like the box fucking said. Fucking AMD...

New York sues Valve for 'letting children and adults illegally gamble' with loot boxes
Gotta love how they just randomly threw in that long-disproved little tidbit about violent videogames making kids into psychopaths. Way to discredit your whole stance.

It's UK slang.
"For a person to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 against their will, admitted to hospital, and given treatment, if they are perceived to be a threat to themselves or others."

Well, the solution is simple – just fix whatever is causing the flame to turn green.
Thank you.

PC Gamers Abandoning Windows 11 for Linux with Higher FPS & Fewer Interruptions
I moved to Linux entirely because of how shit Windows is, but I do not, in general, get higher fps. It's very case-by-case, but in general, my performance seems to be ever so slightly worse.

Confusing warning
Even if they're abandoned, they can still have value in what already exists. Removing them entirely would be foolish. Perhaps making them free would be a good move, but I doubt Valve actually has the authority to decide the value of someone else's product, even if it is their storefront. A warning is the best solution IMO.

They still don't get it
Man, it's hard to figure out what's more pathetic: their complete inability to process satire of the fact that they lost their shit this hard over a minimalist logo.

Developer of New Postal Game Shuts Down Studio After Game Was Announced, Then Canceled Over Gen AI Allegations
I read through the article. Apparently the studio shared work-in-progress content to prove it wasn't made using AI.
I don't know if they used AI or not, but this type of thing has been happening since the inception of gen AI. Shortly after the release of Stable Diffusion 1.5, moderators of r/Art were banning people who had been around for years because their art suddenly "looked like A.I." and told they should "Get a better art style."
In the intervening time, this type of thinking has spread. Just yesterday, I was watching a YouTube video, and they used a certain background in it which they had used before to no note. This time, however, one user claimed that background was A.I. That was all it took to send the comments into a deluge of hatred and accusations.
Here, though... I ask, if work-in-progress PSDs showing the in-progress art don't meet the burden of proof to sate these accusations, what does? How long will it be until the only safe form of art to avoid these accusations is a photo of a pencil sketch with a hand-written date nearby?

YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality
From what I've seen so far, the case here seems to be that it's only being done to shorts, and what's happening is that they're being permanently stored at a lower quality and size and are then upscaled on the fly. I mean... it feels kinda fair to me. Theres a good reason YouTube has so little competition, and it's because how hard and expensive maintaining a service like this is. They're always trying to cut costs, and storage is gonna be a big cost. Personally, I'm glad it's just shorts for now. It absolutely shouldn't be happening to people who are paying for the service or making money for it, though.

Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they worked hard for it(including waiting 24 hours)
In addition to the advanced flow we’re building free, limited distribution accounts for students and hobbyists. This allows you to share apps with a small group (up to 20 devices) without needing to provide a government-issued ID or pay a registration fee.
Fuck you sideways, Google.

Bluesky's moderation team is shit. Recently, their "head of trust and safety" went full Elongated Muskrat and tried to permanently ban a user who was tracking his public data.

The shifting pronouns midway through threw me off for a while because I couldn't track how many characters were active in the scene. Basically, though, the lord is transfem. The farmer addresses her as female (and maybe compliments her chest, not sure). She thanks him, because she was boymoding (attempting to present as male because that's what's expected of her), but the farmer recognized her as female anyway. The farmer remains entirely unaware of what happened.
I don't know what a "piss levy" is.
