Hey @Windows I recently switched to Linux and guess what? When I tell my PC to shut down, it actually shuts down, the entire time. Also guess what @Windows it stays shut down until I turn my PC back on. What a novel concept.
A new report has revealed a heated debate inside Valve over pornographic games on Steam.
According to former employees, Valve’s top lawyer suggested the company take a stronger role in moderating adult content on the platform.
Gabe Newell reportedly disagreed, saying, “What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?”
The quote comes from accounts shared by former employees and has not been publicly confirmed by Valve.
If this is true, Gabe Newell is even more based.
California lawmakers are moving to exempt most Linux distributions from the state’s upcoming age-verification law after backlash from the open-source community.
The original law would require operating systems to verify a user’s age during setup and share that information with apps through a built-in system API.
Because the wording was broad, many developers believed it could apply to Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora.
That led to backlash from developers, who said the rules would be hard for volunteer-run open-source projects to follow.
In response, lawmakers introduced changes narrowing the law’s scope and likely exempting most Linux distributions.
Now that I’m single and my lease is up at the end of June; I will be getting my own place by the beginning of July! Meaning the FoxDen will be even bigger and better streams in future. I’ll be moving at the beginning of July so no streaming then, but soon 🦊
Linux now supports NVIDIA Reflex and AMD Anti-Lag on any graphics card, bringing much better responsiveness to gaming.
A new open-source tool called low_latency_layer makes this possible on AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs.
It uses the same signals games already send for Reflex and Anti-Lag, so titles that previously supported only NVIDIA now run smoother on other cards too.
It pairs well with Steam Play and Proton, allowing Windows games on Linux to benefit from these low-latency features. Tests in Counter-Strike 2, THE FINALS, Cyberpunk 2077, and Overwatch 2 show reduced input lag, often matching or beating Windows versions.
Developed by Nicolas James, the free tool is available on GitHub at https://t.co/w6xGDI00hn
Kickstarter has changed its rules about adult and mature content.
The platform states: “Kickstarter is not a venue for adult-only or sexually explicit content and such content is prohibited.”
The new rules ban projects made mainly for sexual pleasure.
>They prohibit porn or any material that shows or suggests sex acts, including masturbation.
>They also ban images showing female nipples, private parts, or the area between the buttocks, as well as implied nudity through lingerie, tight clothing, or see-through outfits.
>Sex toys designed to go inside the body are banned if sold mostly for sexual use, and content showing violent, forced, or harmful sex is not allowed.
Some things remain okay with limits: Kickstarter allows “Romance/‘spicy’ literature, including comic books,” if all images follow the rules.
Simple acts like kissing or cuddling are fine. Non-sexual nudity is permitted only in educational, scientific, or school projects. Items like lubricants or underwear can be funded if not mainly for sexual use.
Creators cannot avoid the rules with cropped, blurred, or misleading images.
