Promising something and then not delivering it while stealing the money in the process. The same could be true for FIAT, the difference is that FIAT is regulated and insured, so most people would go to jail for it, while crypto is now above the law for the same.
I have no issue with crypto as a concept (e.g. Monero), it's just that 99% of the crypto are just scams, rug pulls and fraud.
Nintendo resorts to weird patent claims as its litigation against Palworld maker Pocketpair is struggling
Last fall, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company sued Palworld maker Pocketpair over three Japanese patents (note that links like the one to the left of this parenthesis take you to our IP Lingo dictionary explaining such terms). Earlier this year, we launched an “explain it to me like I’m five” series covering the dispute (January 23, 2025 games fray article). We sent a Japanese attorney to a Tokyo courthouse to take a look at Pocketpair’s defenses, and reported on then three months ago (April 18, 2025 games fray article). Subsequently, we explained Pocketpair’s “moving target” strategy that involves changes to gameplay mechanics so as to work around Nintendo’s patents, making it impossible so far for Nintendo to find a basis for a good-faith U.S. patent assertion (May 10, 2025 games fray article). Nintendo would apparently like to sue in the U.S. as well, but so far it can’t.

Steam file transfer over local network?
Anyone got this to work between a linux host and a steamdeck?
I am using the arch package of steam on the host, I opened the necessary ports, but I can't get the two to download from each other (just to be safe I completely disabled the firewall on both devices and tested, doesn't work).
Steam's remote connection logs mention receiveing broadcast from the other device and when I start the download, the server briefly starts saying "hosting local file transfer" in its downloads page but stays in 0% a little while and disappears.
This works for me between Desktop Arch with pacman Steam install and my Steam Deck.
Never had to do anything special to set it up, I use the GNOME suite so I guess network-manager takes care of any network specifics.
