Valve is about to ship the Steam Machine. Everyone will tell you Valve saved Linux gaming. They didn't. Here's who actually built it.
@darth As a strong opponent of LLMs, I just want to leave an honest thank you for your work here. Great article about how Linux gaming became what it is today.

@vger thank you very much! Can I ask if V'ger is Star Trek inspired?

@jay @ariarhythmic unfortunately LLM wasn't involved in the source material. I don't mind you not reading it, this world is free. But I do prefer to tell the truth. LLM was involved in cleaning up the transcript of my video.
I thought that isn't an issue, but it seems that I was wrong.
@darth
Jumping in here to add one small detail that seems important to me: The majority of people speaking and writing English today are not native speakers.Also, there is not one type of English language that is the one correct best one. You can find millions of native speakers around the world disagreeing heavily on spelling, grammar and vocabulary. Plus millions more using English as a second, third, fourth language in professional multi-lingual contexts that have created even more divergent variants of the language.
Therefore there is no need to adjust our words and sentences to some imaginary average ideal. We can understand each other just fine.

@ariarhythmic I used to mark it when I used LLM's and then suddenly the entire Internet became A LOT bigger slop than my blog will ever be so I thought to myself — why bother?
But yes, Claude is involved.
Now that we got that sorted out please tell me, as a blog reader, how much does it bother you knowing that I am not a native English speaker and that I have decided to swap LibreOffice dictionary for something like Claude? I need to understand this from your perspective so I can adjust.
@darth Your writing reeks of Claude, then. It's horribly unethical to use such a product, and I'd rather skip reading blog posts edited with it entirely.
You can - and should - look up word definitions without any corporate AI help.

@Byte @ariarhythmic there is another problem here. I don't believe that readers would want to read a naked transcript, no matter that it is cleaned up from grammar mistakes. I believe that written word must have its own distinction from video material.
And now that I typed this sentence - I now understand my fault by handing over my transcript to a robot. I will do better from now on. Not because you said so, but because I now see that I can do better than Claude.

@darth if an AI touched it, it is slop. It's not about how it reads, it's about how it was made.

@dasgrueneblatt yeah!

@darth It totally is

My friends gave it to me, a couple of decades ago, because my last name sounds pretty similar.

@ariarhythmic I did better with my new blog post. I hope I can redeem myself in the near future. I wish you a good day.

@darth thank you! Though i see now what you meant by the text needing to be proofread, this is much more geniune and that more than makes up for the occasional mistake.
