1. Don't use the same password on Steam that you use from other services.
2. Use a long password, with random characters and numbers.
3. Use a password manager.
4. Do not click on links in emails, unless you are 100% sure its from Valve. Better yet, visit Steam in your browser or the Steam app and search for the page there directly. Do not login on random websites requiring you to login to Steam.
5. Do not click on links in chat from people you don't know or added recently to your friends list.
6. Set your Steam profile to private, or enable it for friends only at best. Especially if you have lot of skins.
7. Ultimate weapon: Use official 2FA (2 factor authentication) with Steam app on your phone. Do not lose your phone, as you cannot login to Steam otherwise.

No security is perfect, but following these basic rules will help you to secure your account. And there shouldn't be any need to reset the password often. If you feel better, reset it once per year or so. I don't.

For anyone wondering what this is, Dinosaur Planet is a prototype from Rare for the N64. The game was cancelled and reworked as Starfox Adventures for Gamecube.

I mean lot of stuff is written in forums and social media, where people hallucinate. Or even in real life if you talk to one. Its normal for a human to pick up something in their life, later talk about it as a fact, regardless of where they learned it (tv, forum, videogame, school). Hallucinations are part of our brain.

Sometimes being aware of the hallucination issue is still a hallucination. Sometimes we are also aware of the hallucination an Ai makes, because its obvious or we can check it. And also there are Ai chatbots who "talk" and phrase in a more human natural sounding way. Not all of them sound obvious robotic.

Just for the record, I'm skeptical of Ai technology... not biggest fan. Please don't fork me. :D

To be fair, humans tend to hallucinate too.

I asked a local Ai chatbot DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Quen-14B:

Does Ai hallucinate and is it getting worse? Answer in one paragraph.

Answer:

AI does exhibit a form of "hallucination" where it generates plausible but incorrect information, particularly when faced with uncertainty or creative prompts beyond its training scope. This phenomenon occurs as AI constructs logical-sounding answers using available data, even if those answers aren't accurate. While advancements in AI make these hallucinations more convincing and harder to detect due to improved coherence, the issue isn't worsening in severity but rather evolving in how it presents itself.

I'm all for LibreOffice and Open Source, but I do not agree on this point. Microsoft created the format and application and LibreOffice is a third party that tries to be conform.

One more reason to not buy Nintendo games and play them for free.

Why wasn't this catched by previous routine reviews?

Love it how this trailer unites the biggest YouTubers in the comment section. DailyDoseOfInternet, Xbox, LofiGirl and so on.

If its called smart and uses Ai, then its advanced. We need Ai for renaming groups of tabs.

Trading off quality for money.

The problem is not that Ai could replace humans; the problem is that executives think they can.

Now, the team is experimenting with smart tab groups, a new AI-powered feature that suggests names and groups based on the tabs you have open.

Off course, they found a way to integrate more Ai features.

Good example why you don't want to use and rely on proprietary software (the extension is not 100% open source as I understand), if there are free (as in source code and license) alternatives.

Thunderbird doesn't have the same annoying stuff of Firefox, as far as I know at least. However, there is no guarantee that Mozilla wouldn't force this on Thunderbird someday, even if Thunderbird operates mostly independent.

By switching to another client, I didn't mean you can takeover your offline accounts and data to another client. Just meaning you can switch, as your mail accounts are not bound to any mail client. Unlike something like Photoshop in example, that was what I meant. There is fork Betterbird, in case Thunderbird decides to go wild (we can't know that for sure). I did not look into it much, but I'm sure alternative forks that are compatible to the current Thunderbird profile (for import) will be available.

Thunderbird has their own finances and operates quite independent from Mozilla. They make more money than any other project under Mozilla's banner. Thunderbird is quite successful. And even if one day a problem occurs, one could still use a fork or switch to a different mail client. But I don't see any problem coming, unlike with Firefox in example.

Is this GTKs fault, or the app developers, or your distribution? Or maybe you misconfigured something.

If Google does not implement this, then most won't care (unfortunately). I think this is a great idea and concept by Mozilla, but it needs to be adopted and respected widely to be effective.
