Found Tim Sweeney.

I had a similar experience on my laptop. I tried Ubuntu which broke after trying to throw on Nvidia drivers (using the official docs). I tried Mint and Debian, both of which couldn’t detect my laptop’s wifi card (after hours of trying to fix - apparently a common issue but the fixes did not work for me!). I landed on Fedora, worked great. I’m now on EndeavourOS, but Fedora was the stepping stone I needed.

My desktop I built recently is Bazzite, which is Fedora based and I love it.

I tend to like the instance I’m on pretty well (wetdry.world). It’s not as serious and mostly everyone is a linux-using shit poster.

But I’m inclined to agree, I do miss the really funny gimmick accounts from Twitter.

What are some alternatives? I’ve heard Tidal is one of the better ones. I’m not necessarily opposed to piracy/ripping my CD collection + self-hosted streaming, but if I can pay someone else for the convenience I’d rather do that.

Do any services have a comparable family plan too?

Got any tips or tidbits for Nobara? I’m heavily considering installing it onto my new PC when I build it in a week. I’m a noob at Linux but it seemed perfect for everything I’m looking to do on my PC.

The Mastodon instance I’m on (wetdry.world) has HUNDREDS of users. Don’t use an instance like mastodon.social and you’ll have a better time.

“Did not know” is correct. “Knew” generally comes after a pronoun "I knew, he knew, they knew. " Know, however, is also fine after pronouns.

I’m sure there’s a properly defined rule in English for it, but I definitely don’t know it.

Thank you for your reply and information!

I anticipate switching to a full Linux setup once I build my new PC, hopefully later this year. I can’t see myself even unwillingly buying pirating buying Windows.

Any tips for when that day comes?

Sometimes I have to call a doctor’s office. Or my mom.

They mostly are. Occasionally I’ll get a few that are from the next area code over, even less occasionally I’ll get them from completely different states.

It would be my luck that blocking a range of numbers would block something important.

You’re the second person to recommend this app. Guess I gotta check into it now! Thanks.

I do love the idea of wasting their time! I’ve done it a couple of times, but nothing quite so extensive as what you do. Usually when I call robo call numbers back, I get “this number is disconnected,” so I can’t even annoy the hell out of them like they do to me. :/

I must admit I’m a bit afraid to modify my phone like that, just not something I’m used to. Plus, I’m afraid of how it’ll work with my carrier (Google Fi). Might be worth researching, it seems.

Seems to be on, apparently… Thank you for showing me though!

Silly question, but where in settings is this? I feel like I’ve had it set up but can’t remember.

You know what? I appreciate this reference. And if I don’t laugh, I’ll scream. So thanks!

I use Google Fi, so I’ll take a deep dive for anything there. Any app recommendations? I’m nervous to search through the store since there can be many not-so-good apps that would probably need some hefty permissions (access to calls, call logs, etc). Thank you, though!

Here’s the voicemail log that I mentioned. It’s just insane.

+1 to Spigen. I have a case on my pixel 5 that has a nice little kickstand.
