I'd hope it's on every update (from the screenshot in article seems like last 7 days also works), so they can't expect the devs to do long testing on small bugfixes.

But also devs will probably do most of the testing outside of steam.

but then I question what the customers are doing on their weekends

Plenty of reasonable online services that end-users will want to use on weekends, like online shopping, entertainment like streaming. Also payment services for businesses

it would also imply that all the lore was true.

That's not necessarily the case, it could simply prove that it wasn't made up, but ultimately the lore comes from god and his agents, so if god wanted to tell a false narrative, he could manipulate the lore. Realistically, you have no way to know if the devil is actually evil.

And you're also twisting what I said:

If the devil appeared and told you to do his bidding and forsake God

The idea is a devil that doesn't tell you to forsake god and do his bidding, but a devil that tells you to practice guitar for years so you can be good at it. It's a devil that makes you learn things yourself. If he actually has an evil agenda, that's really devious, but that's kinda the point.

As a non-vegan, that seems to be morally neutral to me (you're still eating meat), barring differences in treatment and ecological impact of specific animals (I think cows are particularly bad in terms of environmental impact?)

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, the devil himself is also a higher power, and if he's telling you to reject higher powers, why not listen to him?

(By the way I'm stealing my reasoning from Eserite ideology from The Gods Are Bastards, but there it's not the devil but a recognized god of the Pantheon)

Yeah, I'm imagining the devil going around getting people to learn good habits as "deals", teaching them to be independent and not need to rely on established organizations or higher powers.

There's some other problems, some more stupid than others

• GNOME refuses to support clientside decorations, the Wayland specification doesn't require it, so any software that wants to work in a window and support all major DEs needs to have code to draw its own titlebar
• I think screensharing still has some problems that haven't been settled yet, not sure if there's a way to capture an application and only its audio, might work worse for preserving capture configuration across restarts
• Global hotkeys have a somewhat stupid issue, and OBS refuses to support them - the issue is that OBS supports having multiple profiles and wants to be able to have different hotkey bindings for every profile, and there's no good way to do that right now.
• Global hotkeys also have a controversial side in that there's no consistent way for applications to know what keys are bound to hotkeys, and application developers want to display hotkeys inside application settings and allow users to change them there. And that's an issue because Wayland developers want to ensure Wayland isn't restricted to only typical keyboard, mouse, gamepad setups, and things like global hotkeys can be bound to things like touchscreen gestures without needing workarounds like emulating keypresses.
• Another issue in a similar vein is window positioning. Some software opens multiple windows, and its developers want to be able to position those windows in a layout. On the other hand, Wayland developers don't want to limit software to rendering on rectangular 2D screens, and don't want software to be positioning windows with 2D coordinates like that, and instead have a way for software to indicate to the compositor more semantically how windows are meant to be laid out. I don't think they've worked out a solution yet.

I respect Wayland trying to avoid backing itself into a corner where expanding future support is going to be a mess because they rushed to get something out, but it does take a long time, and we're not there yet.

On a somewhat random note, I have a screen with probably crappy HDR support, and previously on Plasma I tested it a couple of times for fun, but there wasn't much support from software and the colors were off. Recently I hit some weird bug where my colors were just off (on SDR), looking greenish, decided to try turning HDR on and off to see if it'd help. After turning it on, I realized the colors look fine, after running the calibration it looked the same as it would in SDR, but just with HDR support. I tested it on YouTube videos, not sure how to tell how well it's working, but it's a nice "huh, guess we got there" moment, where there's another thing that now just seamlessly works for me.

They no longer use it.

Is there a source or proof on that? Or is it just that you didn't find it right now on their website?

The big drama was during their "2026 sale", where they used GenAI promotional art for the event. They also seem to have refused to confirm using GenAI, and at the time made no promise/commitment to stop.

It's really frustrating. Many years ago, my older brother helped me get a new GPU, buying it from a nice online store. Some years later I used it when buying hardware and it was so good compared to all the established stores, instead of pushing promos everywhere it made it easy to browse, find and buy products, because oh god are those big stores shitty. Just having a responsive website with filters, reasonable element sizing and a straightforward checkout process stands out.

A few years after that, when I used it again, noticed something peculiar, as they added lootboxes. And I don't mean physical surprise boxes or something, they added digital lootboxes to get random discounts on products, with a premium subscription that gets you a better pool of discounts. That is a level of "what the fuck" that's just stunning. And they might still have the best service, which combined with inertia of it being my goto store makes things rather difficult.

If we're talking obscure...

• Leap Year - the march DLC also has some good music, but I don't think anybody's uploaded it.
• Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Teehee Valley - definitely nostalgia speaking, but that game has a whole bunch of good music. It's all crusty, by virtue of being a GBA game, though.
• Particle Fleet - Perhaps a bit too epic for the gameplay, but I enjoyed it while playing back when it came out, and coming back to it I'm still very much enjoying the tracks.
• Cultist Simulator - Not sure how well-known this one is, but it's very atmospheric, mysterious, mostly slow
• CrossCode - as an example, Autumn's Rise - Nice upbeat "overworld" type of track, and I might be a sucker for synths

There's niche WebKit browsers too, like Epiphany. Also Ladybird in development, but that went full AI slop AFAIK.

I'm guessing there's more extreme errors than this example, but for "bat" and "car", "b" is two keys to the right from "c" and "t" is one letter to the right from "r", so that one seems plausible to typo.
