Recently, since about a week or two I think, the Steam overlay has entirely stopped working for me. The in-game fps counter isn't there, my steam controller does not go into the game's profile, and no overlay appears on shift+tab, and it also looks like maybe Steam's shader pre-caching isn't working, because I'm occasionally seeing "Compiling shaders..." in the bottom left corner with pretty much every game.

Has anyone else had this issue, or know how to debug this? Logs don't show anything odd.

I'm running Steam on Fedora Sway, with proprietary Nvidia drivers, and the games with gamemode, and gamescope.

nesbot/carbon is a popular date time library for php, included by default in Laravel, for example. It has amassed almost 700 million downloads on packagist.org.

Yesterday, I was looking through the repository, looking for documentation, when I noticed the sponsor section of their readme.

Almost all of the companies listed are betting/gambling sites, some of them specifically made to circumvent for example GamStop, Britain's system where gamblers can block themselves from gambling. One of the sponsor's images links to a TrustPilot profile that has been removed for breaking their guidelines.
Until just now I had not even noticed the "show more" button. I found at least another one with a deleted TrustPilot profile. There's so many more.

I raised an issue about this on their repository, but it just got deleted, not closed.

What the hell is going on here? Why are all these shady companies sponsoring this project? Is the one circumventing GamStop even legal?
