There’s absolutely no world in which Valve releases a Linux phone.
I’d love to be wrong, but given how Valve works, their team size, and simply what works well and what doesn’t on SteamOS, I can assure you their software engineers would take one look at modem drivers and DRM for media and nope right out of any phone project.

I don’t follow the AI bubble trend at all. But I have been seeing alot of videos all of a sudden, popping up in my recommended talking about it. Who knows.
A few banks started issuing warnings, and some of the “biggest upcoming launches” were extremely underwhelming, like Sora 2 and GPT 5. Not only that, but the companies going all in on replacing workers with AI are still not showing a clear return on investment, so this combination is making people more aware about the bubble.
So you can’t provide any examples? Got it.
Oh sure! People don’t crave the system, Mastodon is just bad!
Hey, what’s the non-corporate alternative to a service that took over the world with consumers then? I mean, if the system is not the problem and people just hate Mastodon in particular, I’m sure you’ll have plenty of examples to share.
Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser
I hate AI and refuse to interact with it. Your statement is false. They didn’t sneak anything in - they openly added a feature that lets you connect an AI assistant of choice, or with a single click, disable it entirely.
Unless they start embedding the ads directly into the video stream, they’ll never be able to block adblocks - updating your extensions will work.
maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…
It won’t. Look at Mastodon vs Bluesky and Threads. Mastodon already existed, already worked well, had more features and was federated. People still chose Bluesky, which is just Twitter 2.0 owned by the same corporate douchebags.
People CRAVE the system.
“1000x faster?” Learn to lie better
Analogue computers are indeed capable of doing a task 1000x faster than a regular computer. The difference is they do only that task, in a very specific way, and with one specific type of output. You can 3D print at home an “analogue computer” that can solve calculus equations, it can technically be faster than a CPU, but that’s the only thing it can do, it’s complex, and the output is a drawing on paper.
If you come up with a repeatable and precise set of mechanical movements that are analogous to the problem you want to solve, you can indeed come up with headlines like that.
They already are. So many user complaints on popular packages have nothing to do with a bug on the package, but are caused by the moronic permissions systems used by Flatpaks and similar.
It causes a bunch of frequent issues though. I strongly encourage users to select exFAT rather than NTFS for sharing a drive between Windows and Linux.
LLMs have amazing potential.
That’s not what studies from most universities, Anthropic, OpenAI, Apple and Samsung show.
Even if we didn’t have this data - and we do have it - are you truly impressed by a machine that can simulate what a Reddit user said 6 months ago? Really? Either you’re massively underselling the actual industrial revolution, or you’d be easily impressed by a child’s magic trick.

Sure, but the scientists doing those kinds of workflows don’t have anywhere near the money to burn on GPUs
I’m working in a lab that is purchasing a cluster with a price tag you wouldn’t believe even if I could share it, which I can’t. We are publicly funded. Scientists are buying this hardware, for this price, because the speed up we get is tremendous.
but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.
You’re delusional if you think GPUs are of little value. LLMs and fancy image generation are a bubble.
The gargantuan computational cost of running the machine learning processing that is now required for protein folding and molecular docking is not.
I wish. Even knowing it’s all a gigantic scam, they’ll first protect themselves before letting it burst and screw everybody else. The rich get a buffer period.
Sure. But there’s also a reason we don’t do in silico molecular dynamics, test toxicology on zebrafish, and boom done drug is on the market. Even extremely close organisms, with LCAs much earlier than the zebrafish, can have wildly different reactions to potential drugs and dietary elements.
There are things you can feed a chimp but not a human.
