Gabe teases new Steam Console?

A few days ago, Gabe Newell was doing a Q&A session at Sancta Maria College in Auckland New Zealand. During that session, a student asked "will Steam be porting any games to console or will it just stay on PC?"

According to reports, Newell was a bit reluctant but replied "You will get a better idea of that by the end of this year." He then followed up with "and it won't be the answer ...

Audacity's Telemetry Kerfuffle

Oof. Did Audacity just make a big, huge no-no? I'm gonna be honest, I have a video in the works about Audacity (it will probably be out this wednesday, actually) but I had to talk about this and it couldn't wait.

So last week YouTuber Tantacrul announced that Audacity--the free and open source audio editing software--was now part of Muse Group. I had heard that Muse Group had also acquire...

"Linux Community."

"Linux community." It's a term I've used a lot on this channel--and it's a term that has gotten some heat, recently.

Most of the criticism I've heard comes from this isolationist mindset that "There's no such thing as the Linux Community because you can't have a community made out of people you've never met."

Valve's being SUED? [ THOUGHTS? ]

> GUYS. I've got my lineup for the next week, but I just wrote this and now I'm wondering where I should actually place it in the lineup? Maybe Wednesday and push the FCC video to Saturday?


Before ANYONE seriously accuses me of being a "Valve fanboy." No. I'm not. I've been both highly critical and quite complementary of Valve since the beginning of this channel. I didn't ge...

Linux Malware targets IoT devices since 2018?

A 3 year old piece of Linux-specific malware has avoided widespread detection until just a few days ago. Dubbed RotaJakiro by the team that discovered it, Qihoo 360 Netlab, the malware has been targeting 64-bit Linux systems since 2018.

On March 25th, RotaJakiro was detected when one of Netlab's botnet tracking tools (called BotMon) flagged a file as suspicious.

There had been no re...

Ubuntu Suggests NOT Upgrading to 21.04. Because they respect you.

Two weeks ago I posted a video about Windows Updates that have harmed user's computers and productivity.

These Windows Updates get pushed, regardless of their negative impact, and Microsoft seems to not care at all--having slashed staffing in their product quality and testing teams.

In yet another example of how Free and Open Source Software is superior and the Linux Way™ makes fo...
