But, hopefully, they won’t fall in line behind a single successor and instead splinter into a bunch of smaller, competing factions.

Maybe? But all the resources Valves puts towards supporting Proton benefits everyone gaming on Linux, even those not using a Steam client.

It’s Steam; you might wish they had more support on Linux, but you can’t say that Steam doesn’t support Linux.

Don’t even need XKCD for it. The monster self proclaims himself as Victor Frankenstein’s son, giving himself the Frankenstein surname and in another part is referred to as the new Adam. Adam Frankenstein is his name.

“I need to do my own research”

I never said it needed to. In fact, I almost added into my comment “if we valued the community enough to operate at a loss” but didn’t think it was necessary.

Work at a tech store; the technicians that build the PCs for customers recently tried building with the new Core Ultra 7 256K. Two processors were dead or unstable right out of thr box. Tried with known good RAM, two different cpus on two different motherboards. It seems that Intel hasn’t really fixed their stability issue, which should be their first concern.

Public transport could do something for him if it was invested in more and we valued the community enough to provide better senior transport options.

I don’t even bother going that far. I just have a [words]receipts@[domain].com and use it for all of those e-receipts, accounts that make you sign up at checkout, known spam generators.

If I need to search for a receipt for any reason, I have it there. But none of it clogs up my real email

It’s just different use cases. A tree would show relations to the individual, a line just proves they descended from a particular person. Applications of it might be a bit outdated, but I don’t think there is any more reason to show relations in a tree than “oh, that’s neat”.

How it -should- be and what actually happens when you return don’t always match up, sadly. Just giving insight into the reality of how it works from experience working in grocery retail.

Supply chain and quality assurance concerns are usually handled by the manufacturer and distributor, not the end point grocery stores, though. Anything you return to the grocery store is likely simply thrown out and marked as shrink (operating cost of loss), and never reported to the manufacturer or sent back.

If your goal is to let the manufacturer know about quality issues, you need to do that directly. Not through the end point grocery store. They are likely separate corporate entities under the same parent company, in any case, and have little to no communication between each other. The grocery store would be where you could get a refund or exchange, but that would never reach back to the manufacturer.

I suppose it is in a fashion, but not necessarily. Let’s say you know you have a ancestor that was part of the first expedition to the arctic. The line of ancestor to descendent between that person and you would be the bloodline. Everyone you are related to would be your family tree, but that could be hundreds of people depending on how far back you go, and could be thousands of people if you start looking at everyone descended from that person. But you are only concerned with the direct line of lineage between them and you, and that would be your bloodline.

It would generally be between a person and a specific ancestors of theirs, so that depends on who is is tracking towards. Often it will be qualified with something like “Paternal Bloodline” or such, in which case it would follow the father, the father’s father, the father’s father’s father, etc. Or for royalty, it would track from some historical sovereign figure and follow their legitimate heirs down to the individual being examined.

Deporting just means we kick him out of our country, you don’t have to accept him in yours. A raft in the Atlantic should suit him fine!

I will add onto this, that you don’t need to be a programmer or understand how everything works to use the terminal. At first, it’s fine to copy the commands directly into the terminal without really knowing how it all works.

I would very highly suggest to be careful about doing this blindly, you can and will compromise or Bork your system doing this too haphazardly. But it’s fine to learn it piece by piece, looking at what commands do as you go to use them. Treat every command you copy paste into the terminal the same way you would treat a .exe file you download from the internet on Windows.

As you use the terminal more frequently, you’ll being to recognize different commands and what they do. You’ll even start figuring out shortcuts or variations of commands and variables that align more with how you use the computer and what you’re hoping the output to give you.

Linux Mint is a great place to play with this, because most everything has a GUI counterpart so you can see the difference between doing the same task with a GUI vs using the terminal. It is also able to live-boot from a USB, as others have pointed out, so you don’t need to worry about ruining your primary computer experience. I’d suggest trying this out before you build your new computer, just to see what it’s like.

Supergiant Games, they made Hades and Hades 2, Pyre, Bastion, and Transistor

Ah, fair! For me, the switching between music and oration would be a bigger distraction than one or the other on their own.

Genuine question, why not try different podcasts? There are a variety of subjects, and plenty that are current events/news related for niche communities. That doesn’t mix music between episodes, but let’s you find discussions on topics you’re interested in.

Though, it does help to make a good faith effort to add content you’d like to see more of
