It seems as though I am stuck in Tutorial prison. I've tried the suggestions here, but I'm unable to get anywhere.
I've read that other people are having problems with the current version of Steam, so this might be something that gets resolved via an update. Again, thanks for the help!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I actually have Proton running at 8.3 (I’m not at the computer so I’m not sure of that number is correct).
I did try hitting single player first and it sends me into the same loop.
I did think of something that might be causing the issue, and if I’m right, it would be a real dumb ass moment for me 🤪. I’ll check that out and try your other suggestions as well. To be continued…
No worries. The Fediverse is a complicated beast 🙂. My understanding is that the @ symbol is a way of directly responding to that person and can also be used by others who see the post to actually identify that person. So say you have 20 followers - when you create a post all of your followers would see it and the person you contacted with the @ symbol.
But if you’re wanting to mention that person or bring more attention to them for a wider audience, then you would need to use # with words that are closely associated with said person.
For example, you could create a post to mention SDF as so: “If you’re interested in #retrotech and #Unix like systems, then I would recommend checking out @SDF.”
In this example, you would want to use relevant hashtags to reach a wider audience, and you’d want to tag the correct person with the @ symbol so people could connect with them.
At least, that’s how I would go about it. Hope this helps.
Everything is moving so quickly these days, and the exodus from other failing sites along with the expectations of those transitioning from them is creating a crescendo that is just unrealistic.
So many people have been working very hard to keep up with all of these new and increasing demands (and they ought to be credited for that), but what is lacking is patience for those working behind the scenes.
They’re doing a great job, but, for God’s sake, give them some slack!
I find myself waking up in an even stranger world than the one I left the night before.
It's one thing to understand that while surfing the Internet you expose yourself to being monitored, it's quite another to take a walk around the park and have someone trying to 'sniff out' your movement and potentially your identity.
Are there people who don't really understand the implications of this?
Google and Apple have built out their own private 'little internet' by turning the users of their products into their own personal nodes that they have access to and control.
Most Americans don't want to think for themselves. They would rather someone else do that heavy lifting for them.
However, it's important that people have the freedom to reason for themselves and make choices accordingly without some governmental entity mandating a certain thought trajectory. People shouldn't surrender such fundamental human freedoms to their government.
“If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

This is a great point that you bring up. I subscribe to an IRC channel that has bridges to both Telegram and Matrix. My feelings at this point, is that the weakest link is going to be of the most concern. But how all this technology interoperate with each other and how they actually handle privacy/security together is a question I cannot answer.
I have a bad feeling that this will not end well if it's left to run its course.
What happened to the days when people just took a chance and tried something new and waited for the results to come in? What do they have to lose by giving Mastodon or the Fediverse a try except a certain amount of time and effort? The idea of having to analyze everything and scraping data from user bases before making a decision to freely jump in and give it a try is getting a bit absurd.
I’ve been using eBay since 2007. I just don’t see any benefits to using Amazon over them.
However, I did use Amazon back in the day when they only sold books and I couldn’t find what I was looking for in local bookstores. But Amazon has changed for the worse since those bygone days.
I started delivering newspapers when I was 10 years old. The problem I inevitably ran into was that certain people didn’t want to pay for the product and I was out the money I had to pay to initially buy the newspaper for them.
When customers refused to pay for their subscription, I stopped delivering their newspaper.
While nobody wants an Internet behind a paywall, there does need to be a certain equilibrium between content and services while maintaining the ability to fund and perpetuate them.
But, I agree that the whole modern ad and marketing system is completely rotten.
