the battle.net fixes are welcome. It's been very frustrating last couple of weeks as every game update starts failing till you faff around with lutris runtimes till one works.

My article on the Steam Deck dropping hard in the Steam global top sellers list was updated, to note Valve have corrected the list. The Steam Deck was 4th, not 47th last week, as the global chart originally said: gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/stea…

Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement

Valve's Steam Deck with SteamOS has been consistently in the top sales charts on Steam since release, but recently it dropped down rather hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement.

I was suspecting this would be the case. A drop, OK, but that big was a really strange.

A hacker developed an "infinite maze" to trap web-crawlers/scrapers from AI companies

basically, if the server code detects that a web crawler from an AI firm is trying to scrape the site ...

... the code begins spinning up an infinite, nesting warren of new sham pages, filled with random text

so the crawler gets stuck crawling and scraping endless and meaningless pages

fun @jasonkoebler piece at @404mediaco

Developer Creates Infinite Maze That Traps AI Training Bots

"Nepenthes generates random links that always point back to itself - the crawler downloads those new links. Nepenthes happily just returns more and more lists of links pointing back to itself."

GE-Proton (formerly Proton-GE) is a compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux platforms like SteamOS / Steam Deck that can at times give you better game compatibility than Valve's official Proton. Here's how to install it.

With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on #Mastodon, and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.
A screenshot of the alt text modal in Mastodon's web app, with a preview of the image (in this case, our elephant mascot), a text field underneath it, a character counter, a button to automatically detect text on the image, and a help button that opens a popover with the headline "What is alt text?" The text that follows reads: "Alt text provides image descriptions for people with vision impairments, low-bandwidth connections, or those seeking extra context. You can improve accessibility and understanding for everyone by writing clear, concise, and objective alt text. - Capture important elements - Summarize text in images - Use regular sentence structure - Avoid redundant information - Focus on trends and key findings in complex visuals (like diagrams or maps)"

Someone else said this too, but if there is text in an image, that exact text should be in the alt text, not just a summary of it.

This is great. I like the focus on summarising, I feel that's a really good approach.
It's much more interesting to me to read/hear what is relevant to the original poster, rather than all little details that can become overwhelming. Thank you for the update.
