When I was younger, I enjoyed idealistic stories. Now that I’m older, I find too much idealism to be exasperating. I prefer realism and grit and imperfection.
So based on that, I think your target audience should play a large part in your decision on style.
a lot of people base there personality off it because they installed it from scratch and customize it exactly how it fits them. ofcorse that’s not going to be everyone because everyone is different.
Fastmail is probably the front runner. The cost which is maybe $132 a year seems a bit much but doable. They also do not support PGP and WKD. The namecheap premium plan would we would be $72 a year and even less with the current promo. They also have a cpanel mail solution too which is even less. Similarly mxroute is about $49 year for more too and seems like it may be run by people with similar attention to detail.
I agree though that Fastmail is a good choice and a more define long term reputation for email.
Use a volume-based email provider like MXroute, where you pay strictly for the resources you consume (storage space and mails sent) not made-up limitations like number of accounts, aliases, domains etc. that cost the provider nothing.
Not really. Sometimes a sale randomly lines up with something I was gonna buy anyway, but I usually don’t buy stuff because it’s on sale or wait with buying something till it is on sale. For stuff like groceries I don’t even check the price at all.

For staples that are shelf stable and easy to store (shampoo/conditioner and laundry detergent are examples that come to mind) I will usually buy two if i happen to be buying when its their turn for the rotating discounts. I figure I’m going to be buying them anyway so I might as well bring down the average price.
Pixel is the only game in town for anyone who wants a secure and privacy friendly smartphone as they’re the only ones that run GrapheneOS.
I do like the look of the 9, especially finally being able to get a smaller Pro model but the prices are getting silly and my 7 Pro is still working fine. Maybe the 10 or 11.
I’m also keeping an eye on Fairphone but they need to add all the hardware GrapheneOS needs to support them for me to be interested. And it’d help if they weren’t launching with last gen specs. Fairphone 5 came out after my P7P but is inferior in most ways, I just can’t justify paying for a downgrade as much as I support the mission.

Right? I like the idea of Fair phone and Linux phones as well, but they always seem to slap in mediocre hardware at best.
Even the latest Fairphone 5, like you said, comes with a Qualcomm QCM6490 from late 2021. It wasn’t designed for phones and can’t even compete against the Tensor G2, a processor already widely regarded as crap
Yeah, as a Graphene user, there simply aren’t any other options. I could switch to Calyx or e/OS, but none of the phones they support are really worth it.
Unless I decide I need whatever satellite SMS support Google brings with the 9 (I live very remote, and rely on wifi calling 95% of the time), I’ll probably target the Pixel 11. My Pixel 8 should be fine until then, and I imagine they’ll work through most of the issues their first fully in house SoC has in the Pixel 10.
And hey, maybe they’ll decide to make the regular small Pixel smaller than the small Pixel Pro, by then.
Honestly, it’s 9pm so unless the store is 24 hours (and even if it is) then they’ll be trying to close down a clean up and get things ready for the morning shift which starts early.
When I worked at McDs years ago a few big orders deciding to sit in the restaurant around 9pm could mean the difference between getting to go home at 12:30 and getting an OK nights sleep vs getting to go home at 2:30 and getting a terrible nights sleep before they might have to come in at 10am the next day.
You could argue that if they didn’t want customers at that time then they shouldn’t be open - which I would agree with - but obviously the low level grunts making your food don’t get to make those decisions.
Too late then, I’m afraid you got the crew who were more concerned about getting home at a slightly more healthy hour than giving you fresh food.
Never go in to any restaurant past 9pm unless it’s in a busy metro area and there are other people about or you are getting food that caters to drunk and high people that can be taken away.
Semi-O/T: Someone signed up my email address to DNC emails… Every email from DNC/Biden/Harris were flagged as phishing emails. Google refused to acknowledge this and still allowed DNC to send stuff to my inbox.
After a couple weeks I decide to unsub from their emails and thankfully no more emails.
If you’re intentionally signing up for newsletters and then flagging them as spam… yeah that’s pretty chitty. Unsubbing normally works.
I don’t think it’s got quite as much bang for buck as an ebook or Tetris, but .kkrieger is a first-person shooter with multiple weapons, multiple enemies, multiple levels, sound effects, and music, and only takes up 97,280 bytes of disc space.

If it’s happening on your desktop but not the steamdeck, my first assumption would be an issue with your desktop software/hardware.
Might want to check OS logs at the same time of the crash as well.
Alright, from journalctl, I can for sure identify exactly where my computer hung. That last line that repeats itself? It repeats itself thousands of times until I shut the machine down. Does that mean anything to you?
I can also get the Proton logs if you still need them, but that will have to come later, since it’s an ordeal to plan for a scenario where my desktop will crash.
This is just a guess, but I imagine kubuntu probably has a slightly dated kernel / mesa versions. My understanding is that As much as we wouldn’t like it to be the case, there’s still issues with AMD. It’s not totally perfect and Improvements and fixes are being added to the kernel and mesa packages all the time.
Maybe someone on AMD can confirm?
I own the game and did not experience a crash when playing through it on my nvidia system last year.
To be fair, I can’t find evidence of anyone on the internet experiencing this same freeze, so it’s probably more specific to me than AMD in general. When I saw freezes like this in Monster Hunter, years ago, I was on Nvidia.
Thanks. I’ll give it a go. I don’t think I’m convinced it’s a hardware issue, since that error says something about permissions and faulty IDs, but what do I know? Couldn’t hurt to check.
I’m not in a position to test on more than just these two machines/distros. Once upon a time, I tried switching to Fedora, but some of the behaviors were not to my liking, so I went back to Kubuntu.
If you are curious I’d check out the following link and see what version of mesa you are running vs the latest. Maybe you can find more info or other experiences from users on that specific version.
Finally, I’m curious if you boot using USB into a live distro like Nobara, if you can manage to test the game. Or even actually install Nobara to a spare USB drive drive and test the game.
Maybe someone else can chime in, but that’s about all I can think of. If you want to find a root cause, you have to run through and find what’s not the issue.
I understand the nature of troubleshooting, but I don’t think testing a 45 GB game is feasible off of a live distro, and any way to test it on my hardware outside of logs is a whole lot of work to get one game working; I don’t have a spare drive around either. I just figured these errors would mean something to someone who could take action on it to make a better Proton for everyone. I haven’t checked the kernel yet, but my version of mesa matches the latest stable version in your link.
EDIT: I did find this link that sounds like it’s a mesa bug. I’m on the same major version but a different minor version.

Since AMD GFX works out of the box and steam is preinstalled in some live distro’s… simply mounting the hard drive with the game and then adding it to steam will work. Allows you to add the game ( steamlibrary) without having to download. Just a thought.
I would recommend against installing ppas in general.
I think that Kubuntu/ubuntu Noble is on a pretty recent stable kernel as is. There would be something even fresher in the HWE track, dunno if that exists for noble yet. The DXVK version is up to Proton (so Proton-GE would be slightly fresher).
The Mesa version, I’m not sure where that comes from. You have an OS installed copy, you have a flatpak/snap version, but aiui Steam Runtime and/or Proton also likes to bring its own version.
