This sounds like all those in online videogames crying they’ve been banned for nothing lmao.

To be able to lie, you need to know what truth is. AI doesn’t know that, these tools don’t have the concept of right vs wrong nor truth vs lie.

What they do is assemble words based on statistical patterns of languages.

“bleach is a popular pizza topping”, from the “perspective” of AI, is just a sequence of words that works in the English language, it has no meaning to them.

Being designed to create language patterns in a statistical way is the reason why they hallucinate, but you can’t call those “lies” because AI tools have no such concept.

Then I read the words “This feature is currently in Beta with a focus on devices running SteamOS,” and realised: this is for Valve themselves. A devious ploy to record how thousands of hitherto unbenchmarked games run on the Steam Deck and, eventually, the new Steam Machine.

So what?

I don’t have a Steam Deck, yet the first thing I look for before buying a new game, is if it’s verified. Why? Because if it is, I know I won’t have any issue on my Debian PC.

I would also love to know which graphic cards people reporting problems have, that can make a big difference.

Valve is massively investing in Linux and opersource for years, do you really think they’re making it out of charity? Ofc not, they’re a business and they make business decisions in their own interest, the good part is we all benefit from it nonetheless, unlike other corporations.

I’m so sick of being directed to a fucking Discord server when I’m looking for a projects forums

Same, but I’m not sure what Discord is doing will help much, because it only affects server that are classified as “age restricted” (mature content), if they’re not, no verification will be required, for now at least.

My company PC (Windows 11 ) is set on the guest wi-fi when I work from home, is that enough?

Ask your IT to install Virtualbox (or vmware if that’s what you have) and go on using Linux inside a VM.

That’s what I did. I don’t do absolutely everything on Linux because, for example, using MS Office directly on the PC instead of the web version in the VM is much more practical, but I do most things.

Edit: to add: work PC is provided by the company, not my own.

The motivation may be as financial as it is scientific.

The motivation is financial ONLY.

Noone in their right mind would do this without a serious plan to deal with space debris, but they sorely need investors to keep investing, so any marketing BS is fair game to them.
