If that’s the case, could you link a source then? Because I wasn’t able to find it with a quick Google search He has been the subject of many controversies over the years, most of which have been wildly misinterpreted.

I haven’t seen any evidence of that.
He talks about wanting Linux to succed and win marketshare over Windows on many WAN shows, and in general, he is positive towards Linux in the sense that he wants it to win, but he also feelt like it wasn’t ready yet for real mass adoption. For example, he’s rooting for Valve and the SteamDeck and Steam machine to be a success and has been widely positive of Proton and what it has managed to achieve. Perhaps you want him to make videos about Linux, in which case, yes, he hasn’t made that many dedicated videos on it, but on streams he is often positive whenever talking about it.
I honestly don’t care about the added AI. The only thing that bothers me is that this is taking away resources from more important things.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
135·5 days agoI honestly really like them. Get a charger and some good batteries and you can go from 0 to 100% charge in a few seconds and the batteries will cost basically nothing in the long run.
I don’t get your logic. Why would he do it on purpose? He’s been advocating for and promoting Linux gaming for years now, why would he fail on purpose.
Honestly, what happened seems like something pretty normal for someone that isn’t a programmer or system admin. I remember when consoles were black boxes to me and I wouldn’t understand anything that was written in there even though today it might seem extremely obvious. It was just bad luck that his attempt lined up with a Pop!_OS bug, he didn’t expect that such a normal use case as installing Steam would result in him deleting his desktop environment, and just saw the last line and did what it said.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•developer of game 'Rust' talks about anticheat on linuxEnglish
1·6 days agoThat’s a bit tinfoil-hatty. EA is a big company and these types of decisions typically come from the top, and if it was decided that they don’t want to bother with Linux, because, let’s be fair, they don’t really have that much of an incentive, the profits they get from Linux is probably worth less than the headache of supporting another platform, then they most probably decided to apply that to the whole company, not just a single game.

16·6 days agoThe thing I find most surprising is that this many kids want to be teachers. It doesn’t sound like something kids would typically be interested in, nor do I remember me nor my friends ever wanting to be teachers.

World News@lemmy.world•Surgeons remove up to 100 magnets - which have been banned in the country but bought online on Temu - from New Zealand teen’s gutEnglish
1·16 days agoNot gonna lie, banning 5x2mm magnets is insane. They’re very useful, I’ve seen countless DIY projects or 3D print models that use them and in general they’re just handy. It seems insane to me to ban them for such a reason. There are infinite ways in which children can hurt themselves, should we ban stoves because they can get hot? That ban sounds a bit too much to me.


Yeah, from everything that I saw and I was watching WAN Show regularly at that time, and from the posts that I saw and the explanations that they made, it mostly seems that LTT had a problem of growing too big, too fast, management was still in the mindset that they were a small company with a few people, they just didn’t grow correctly, and that came to bite them in the ass. They say they’ve tried to improve on this, and that they are better nowadays, that’s to be seen. But either way, this didn’t seem like malice, and the way GN doubled down just left a very bad taste in my mouth.
