Thank you for that article! He’s a truly good writer, and I read a couple more of his entries before I bookmarked his site.

I don’t pretend to understand Brannigan’s Law. I merely enforce it.

That’s doing that locally on your device, not on the carrier network. It’s definitely a good solution for this problem though.

Oh, yes. That’s how I originally saw it.

I literally could not figure out how to get my GOG copy of Fallout 3 running on my Steam Deck, nor could I find anyone else online discussing what would make it work. I’m sure if I’d wanted to put in the work that I could have gotten it running. I was feeling lazy though, so I bought a copy on Steam. It works without any configuration.

Valve has taken a Linux PC and given it a handheld console form. I couldn’t be happier with it.

Are you literally here to proclaim that Windows is the better OS because Linux gives you the freedom to screw it up?

My brother in computing, that’s on you if you’re having problems with fixing problems you’ve caused in Linux. As a former professional system admin, I’ve run into issues with Windows that Microsoft’s own support team could not figure out and had to refund their fee. I have never, not once, had an issue in Linux that I couldn’t fix or find someone who knows how.

With respect, you can screw up Windows by doing things in a non-standard way too. That’s not the fault of the OS.

It feels like they’re getting their legs again. I have even rewatched the previous season when I finished this one’s available episodes. It’s not quite as bad as I remembered, but this season has been stronger overall so far IMO.

Your carrier can sell you stamps or other services. For security reasons they had to stop carrying cash (because nobody wants to be a mobile robbery target for what the Post Office pays), so transactions will have to take a couple days between the request and the delivery if you initiate the transaction in person. But you can also purchase postage online for delivery. Boxes for flat-rate Priority Mail are free and can also be ordered for delivery.

I delivered mail for a while. It’s a surprisingly complicated and difficult job, especially if you deliver on foot. One of the reasons for it being complicated is how much flexibility USPS offers people, meaning there is a lot to know and remember for everyone.

If you really can’t fish it out, just use some drain cleaner. The dry crystal kind works very well and it’s inexpensive.

With systemd, you set the default target to something other than a desktop environment.

I have this one from a previous sale. It’s good!

I always recommend Pop_OS! for beginners. It’s IMHO a lot closer to what Ubuntu used to be, uses apt and/or flatpaks (and no snaps), has sane defaults, a good installer, a decent company behind it, nvidia drivers included and their upcoming Cosmic desktop environment looks sick.

Also, I feel like this is a better Fedora-based distro for beginners since it’s harder to break:
