Not the Linux You Remember: 16 Every Day Tasks That No Longer Need the Terminal
It's not that Linux became โGUI onlyโ, but that the Linux desktop has become far more complete. The modern desktop we know today ships graphical tools that cover almost every common task in ways that are genuinely approachable.Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)
aint gonna lie, I love my terminal. I hate GUIs for configuration.
I even like Windows powershell. I love how verbose it is.
Still prefer my Bash terminal tho.

UK lawsuit against Valve given the go-ahead, Steam owner facing up to ยฃ656 million in damages gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/uk-lโฆ

UK lawsuit against Valve given the go-ahead, Steam owner facing up to ยฃ656 million in damages
Valve, creator of Steam, now face legal action in the UK as a lawsuit has been given the go-ahead that could result in up to ยฃ656 million in damages.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Valve being a consumer darling and pushing hard against Microsoft's PC gaming monopoly doesn't mean they can't do wrong.
I don't know enough to have an opinion in this case, but I hope it will be ruled in favor of the law.
AI pull requests are making people feel crazy.
Summary: An AI bot called "Claude" posts "pull requests" (suggestions to fix and improve open source projects) on GitHub. Users are also submitting AI generated pulls and it's wasting the time of the people who need to check and approve or reject these "improvements."
In the world of GitHub doing 'pull requests' gives devs a bit of status, but AI has upended this system and destroyed trust and annoyed many people.

Most striking in this video was the plea that people "get to know the project and the people" --
Open issues, known bugs, feature requests... it's like some people think that you could just run AI and close them all and the development would be done. But software development is a conversation: something people do together, code is just the medium.
It's like saying "I have solved birthdays since birthday bot will give everyone a cupcake and card automatically."
No you ruined birthdays.

People Are Saying TikTokโs New Terms And Conditions Are Terrifying โ Hereโs What You Agreed To Share
"The alarm is a fair reaction," one privacy lawyer said.
"But one of the other most startling lines within the new TikTok terms and conditions is about what TikTok states it can learn about our lives. TikTok states it will collect sensitive user-generated information that your posts and comments might provide. This 'may include...information you disclose in survey responses or in your user content about your racial or ethnic origin, national origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health diagnosis, sexual life or sexual orientation, status as transgender or nonbinary, citizenship or immigration status, or financial information,' according to the privacy policy."

OpenAIโs president is a Trump mega-donor / Greg Brockman said he started โgetting involved politicallyโ in 2025.
OpenAIโs co-founder and longtime president, Greg Brockman, didnโt just make a run-of-the-mill donation to the main pro-Trump super PAC โ together, he and his wife Annaโs September 2025 donations equaled the largest of them all, totaling $25 million to โMAGA Inc.,โ per a recent filing. The Brockmansโ donations made up nearly one-fourth of the six-month fundraising cycle.
Itโs the latest in a string of examples of tech executives cozying up to President Trumpโs administration, happening as the administration pushes to aggressively back the AI industry and defang state-level regulations that companies like OpenAI have largely opposed. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment...
