Obviously my own experience is entirely anecdotal, but I think relevant to the point. I work 100% remotely, I just need a decent Internet connection. I currently live in a moderately sized city, and keeping up with the finances can be a struggle compared to the lower cost of rural living. However, I’m also a gay man, pro choice, I don’t care what two or more consenting adults do in the privacy of their home, etc. etc. etc. with all the usual liberal stuff.
The job prospects aren’t why I left the rural southeastern US, and they aren’t the reason I’ll never go back there.
These people were warned about the brain drain their bullshit would cause. I have no sympathy for them or their towns’ dwindling tax revenues.
Publishers have to use the walking on eggshells language even when it’s obvious what happened because of libel laws. You’re not guilty until convicted in a court of law. Until that point, everything is allegedly, possibly, appears to be.
One of these guys walked up and gave me a handful of birdseed, prompting a flock of pigeons to come perch on my arms. I most certainly did not hand over the money they wanted for the experience I didn’t ask for and was somewhat disgusted by.
Thanks for the detailed response! I’ll look into this one.
Parking that much merchandise in one spot - might I suggest hiring a security guard or two? Maybe at least a fence and gate?
I demand efficiency! I’ve got angry things to scream into the void!
Does anyone have any recommendations for alternate keyboard apps on iOS that don’t censor my less-than-polite speech? Having to type certain words out letter by letter is annoying enough since swipe texting won’t spell them out. And lately it seems like even after I type that stuff out, autocorrect will still go back and change those words. Tired of my phone trying to play Puritan Nanny.
Tried just googling the question, but the only results I get are how to add curse words to the text replacement list, and I’d rather not have to go program in every individual curse word.
I mean… I’m not totally against this.
We’ve got at least two pride events where I live. There’s “corpo pride” with the parades and booths set up by corporate sponsors. You may get a few local businesses in there, but it’s mostly the flag waving corporations clamoring for cash. That was earlier this month. Next weekend we’ll have “people’s pride” which is funded and organized directly by local people. Tends to be much more fun.
Unrelated to the main point at hand, but just a quick heads up that a factoid is something commonly believed to be true, but actually isn’t.
Didn’t this happen last year, too? Feels like this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this headline.
Flash back to listening to Paul Harvey in the car while my grandmother drove me to school.
I do still want to go Drinking Around the World in Epcot, though. So they might still end up squeezing a little more cash out of me.
The thing that always bothered me about Disney World (never been to Disney Land so I don’t know if it’s the same) is that it always felt like there were more shops and restaurants than actual attractions. After having been there a few times between school trips and family vacations, I found myself getting bored during the last couple of visits.
Although I do have issues with depression, so I’m operating from a lower baseline than average, but still - bored in Disney World. It’s just an outdoor mall with a few interesting rides.
I’m inclined to agree. The housing crisis is present all across the country, and there’s only one Dollywood. Can’t be responsible for them all.
Ah, the great Circle of Life.
Not sure of how they're connected, but Proton Pass seems to be causing this "Permission denied to access property "matches"" error. If I disable Proton Pass, everything works fine. Willing to provide logs or anything that might help.
EDIT: Response from Proton
> We are aware of this issue with the latest Firefox extension, and our team is working on a fix for it in a future version of the extension. In the meantime, they have rolled back the update, and to resolve the issue, simply re-install the extension, and the older stable version will be installed.
In attempting to download American Dad, I've discovered the list of known shows with episode numbering issues because of TVDb's unflexible naming conventions. I found the option to "override and add to download queue" on the Interactive Search, but it didn't seem to be correcting the info on import. I finally found on the Servarr FAQ this bit about the override feature, "Note that this overruled information is not carried over to the import logic and manual imports may be required," indicating my override selections are ignored intentionally. So what's the point of this feature? Unless I'm missing something here, it seems completely useless to even have this option available if the override selections are then just completely ignored through the rest of the download and import process. Am I using this wrong?
SOLVED: Installed GloriousEggroll custom Proton. For Talos, also had to set launch options (PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_LOG=1 %command%) or else I'd just get a black screen. First runs of games take a bit to get loaded, but launch without issue on subsequent runs.
I'm a recent convert to Linux - currently running Mint 21.2. I don't have a huge Steam library and thankfully most of the handful of games I play have worked fine - Deep Rock, Lethal Company, Sea of Thieves, Elite Dangerous (although that one is through Epic, thanks Heroic Launcher).
Two others that I've tried so far - Astroneer and Talos Principle II - don't seem to want to get started. When I hit play on either of those in Steam, it just stalls at "Launching..." I can cancel the launching and it'll go back to the Play button, but at this point Steam won't launch anything else. When I try to exit steam, the main window closes but its icon is still in the system tray icons. At this point, I have to kill the steam tasks before I can get it to re-open.
Since I'm seeing similar behavior for two different games, I'm guessing it might have something to do with the Proton config? I don't know much about it other than it being the main compatibility layer that gets the games running on Linux. In my Steam compatibility settings, I've got Steam Play enabled for supported and all other titles, and I've got "Run other titles with" set to Proton Experimental. I've seen that you can set the Proton version on a per-game basis as well. If that's the issue, is it just trial-and-error figuring out which version I need to use with each game?
Remote Access status on my Plex server says it's "Not available outside your network." However, the couple of people I currently share my server with have no issues accessing it, I've verified port forwarding settings, I just loaded up the Plex app on my phone (wifi off, on cellular) and everything loads up fine.
If I hit the "Retry" button next to the public port, it'll do the connection test and show that my server is indeed accessible from outside my network. But then, usually anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, it'll change back to showing it's unavailable.
Since remote access doesn't actually seem to be unavailable, I guess it's not a huge deal. Just kinda bugs me. Server version is up-to-date according to the status page (Version 1.32.5.7349) - anyone else on this version noticing this issue?
