I wonder which will kill you first?

Doesn't matter. People are already blaming weather services even though they DID forecast and warn if floods. Camp just decided to ignore it.

Another commenter recommended Flatseal. I now have it installed and I'll give it a shot when I run into an issue.

Not the individual apps, no. Figured it might be something more systemic with Flatpak itself or my system. Was expecting to be pointed to logs to investigate.

The Deb installs mostly. Example, when I installed Lutris, it wouldn't allow me to install games on the extra NVMe drive I have in the system. I uninstalled Lutris and installed the deb version from the Pop Shop (when you COULD do that) and it allowed me to install games where I liked. Just chalked it up to a Flatpak problem. Now I have Lutris installed, use it without issues, and I'm not going to try and solve Flatpak issues by re-installing it. It's not worth my time.

I'm not looking for specific app help. Just had so many issues with different apps installed with Flatpak that I figured there might be something in the system or Flatpak itself that I needed to look into. I'll use Flatseal the next time I have an issue to see if that helps.

Currently, any flatpak apps that don't work properly are installed with other means, so I don't have any non-working apps . If I run into that again, I'll give it a try.

No use using flatpak if the installed apps won't run properly. Be nice if they did, but they don't.

Calibre
Discord
Filebot
Lutris
OpenRGB
Proton Mail
ProtonUp-QT
Spotify

Only apps installed that I haven't had issues with flatpak:
Handbrake
Shortwave
Tor
Putty

Likely a few more that I uninstalled in frustration. And I'm not 100% sure about Handbrake. I stopped using it for the Blu-ray rips, and stuff that interacts with the filesystem tend to break the most in flatpaks.

TV streaming STARTED fragmented. Just it was all bundled together in a cable subscription. The (ineffective) moderator in that were the cable companies like Comcast, who were always trying to negotiate the price of a channel down. Suddenly with streaming, you could start your own service and getting dropped by someone like Comcast wasn't the death sentence it used to be. The TV content creators are dealing with the end user for the first time.

The music industry long ago learned they get better sales when all their vynal/cassettes/CDs are available at Kmart/Walmart/Best Buy/etc. The music industry DID fragment a bit with online streaming, but those quickly failed. And the artists soon realized that being cool and exclusive to iTunes lead to less money for them.

Will he immediately surrender to Putin?

He is living in the past.

Problem is, we'll be getting even worse spyware with the backing of the Chinese government.

How is Steam running on the Cosmic Alpha?

Meh. Our big bombers are always in range of anyone in the world because of midair refueling.

I had to support HP Personal Page back in the day. HP can't write software.

While good in the way you outline, you are underestimating HP's fuckwhittery.

The heady days of using Copy-b and Copy-c in the Commodore 64 days. Back when floppies were really floppies.

WiFi is already pretty universal in smart automation systems, Matter doesn't matter much when the underlying protocol is Wifi. And since 99% of Matter devices are WiFi...

Tesla was overinflated because it was run as a software startup, where they had money pouring in from venture capital. They had money coming in, but it wasn't simply from sales. Let's see if that stalls too.

But wasn't his Tesla shares used as collateral for the Twitter financing? If Tesla tanks enough, won't his Saudi banking backers raise hell?
