Not sure if it's an overall increase, but you can always search the FDA drug shortages database.

At least our hours are the same length regardless of latitude now, so let's be grateful for that.

Always download the backup 2fa codes. This is when you need them.

Growing up in Norway, where roads are narrow, days are short, and snow piles up above a second grader's head, we were taught to use sidewalks, when they are available, or walk on the left (we drive on the right). I think it's supposed to make it easier to see oncoming traffic and get out of the way.

More importantly, though, was to wear reflective clothing. As a driver: please for the love of God don't go running in a black track suit along a dark country road early in the morning. You're not a fucking ninja. Wear something reflective.

Edit: I looked it up and it's actually in the law.

The request has been submitted to uservoice and has 265,567 votes, so it will probably be any time now.

Yaml editor? Business therapist? Email author? Paid meeting actor? Scrum participant? Office cynic? Idk.

This is a great answer. I will just add that KDE in general exposes more settings in the UI than stock Gnome (but Gnome Tweaks is a thing). If you are the kind if user that just sticks with the defaults, Gnome is probably less confusing to use and what I recommend, but I personally prefer KDE because I like to tweak things.

I know it's ELI5, but this is a common misconception and will lead you astray. They do not have the same level of isolation, and they have very different purposes.

For example, containers are disposable cattle. You don't backup containers. You backup volumes and configuration, but not containers.

Containers share the kernel with the host, so your container needs to be compatible with the host (though most dependencies are packaged with images).

For self hosting maybe the difference doesn't matter much, but there is a difference.

The closest official thing in the US is Labor Day in September. Most people forget it is a workers rights day, though.

From Wikipedia:

More than 150 other countries celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1, the European holiday of May Day. May Day was chosen by the Second International of socialist and communist parties to commemorate the general labor strike in the United States and events leading to the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago, Illinois, from May 1 – May 4, 1886.

I have neighsal congestion and now my throat is feeling a little horse!

Try to come across friendly without sounding condescending.

First, empathize (I know those things can be tricky, it took me a minute the first time), then offer to help without judgement (I have some experience with these, would you like me to try?), then back off if they say no.

If they refuse help, you've done what you can, end of story. Don't be pushy.

Key point here is to be nice about it. Don't call them out or make them feel dumb. Don't judge. You don't know why they're not getting it, and next time maybe it is you who is "dumb".

Also, don't expect everyone to share your intellect (it's obvious to you) or curiosity (you want to know how it works). Most people just want their problem fixed and move on.

They can and do try to share malware, but distros and software hubs take measures to prevent it. You can read about Flathub's approach in Flathub Safety: A Layered Approach from Source to User

I'm going to interpret "too long" as "longer than I expected". To that I world say the sudden loss of a college friend that I, to be honest, failed to keep in contact with. Still miss that guy.

I take some comfort in that by the time he died, he had turned from being an outcast and victim of bullying to having three wonderful children with a beautiful and loving wife.

And that they didn't use their own printer.

Oof. I hope you're doing better now.

A heart attack. A sense of impending doom can be a sign of a heart attack. Health line article

Definitively, but there is a huge list of popular games that have it, so I think it's fair to warn people about it so they can make an informed choice and not become a disgruntled ex-Linux user.

I am hopeful that Valve, and the game industry in general, manages to come up with a solution for game developers can come up with a solution that works for everyone, but so far I have not heard of one. Meanwhile, I'm happy to skip some games to stay on Linux.

I did a quick check, and both The Last of Us Part I and II are rated Gold. In my experience, a gold rating is a good sign, but you may still need to tweak a setting or two. Definitively worth reading the comments and look especially if there are any known issues with your particular setup. Even things like dual screens, HiDPI, etc can sometimes make a difference.

The reason things are so unpredictable is it all works like Wine does: it doesn't run Windows in a virtual machine: it re-implements the APIs (like Direct3D). This makes things fast (and sometimes faster!), when they work, but when the implementations deviate things can go off the rails.

It's a legit concern, but like you said I think it's very game dependent. Proton gets updates all the time, too. My recommendation is to look it up on protondb and see if there are major issues or tweaks you can apply. All I can say is there is no Linux tax on games. A game can run as well or better on Linux as Windows. It comes down to the specifics of the game.

There are some specific use cases, like some commercial software (Adobe especially) and online gaming anti-cheat, that don't work on Linux, but other than that you have nothing to lose. And you can dual boot for those cases if you must.

Give it a shot and see if you like it. I, for one, am not going back.
