Hole up! Doesn't the existence of clothing imply nudity? Covering the nudity is what clothing is for! I feel like they hadn't thought that through all the way.

Search engines exist. Pretty easy to find facts from a large number of different sources. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2021/jul/14/food-monopoly-meals-profits-data-investigation

Not sure what windows apps you're using but in my 20+ years IT that has absolutely, in most situations, not been the case.

I think part of this that I'm not seeing talked about, and perhaps confused for "more tech savvy users", is just the user hostility of Windows.

9 times out of 10 when a Linux app or game crashes I get a verbose error and more often than not one that I can simply copy and paste.

9 times out of 10 when Windows, or much of windows software, crashes it gives some random number or code and in a window I can't even copy and paste out of.

My skill level doesn't change. Linux just isn't user hostile in nature making it easy to search for fixes and report issues. Where as on windows I can't summon the care or effort to manually transcribe the error so I can then do something with it.

Deployed to Iraq cross leveled to a different unit. One of the staff sargents at this unit, who I didn't know at all, just had a super creepy touch children type look and vibe about him. I knew some shit was going to go down with this guy.

There were two privates, both super young like 18-19, married to each other in this unit. Turns out he slept with the wife and it came out right as we were getting into country.

The Army pretty much straight disappeared that Staff Sgt. I didn't see him again for like 8 months. Not even around the billeting. I wish I had said something before all that went down. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Flatpak steam can do all that. You just have to learn to control the flatpak sandbox. There are CLI commands of course or you can install Flatseal which is a real nice gui that lets you control the sandbox for each individual flatpak app. https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

Just add whatever drive/directory/mount point in the filesystem path for Steam in flatseal and Steam can see it.

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. You can just stop using Gmail and still maintain a Google account to use with oauth providers.

Your mistake here is in assuming removing DRM isn't trivial. As someone who's pirated games for literal decades I have enjoyed many a DRMed game on launch day. DRM is security theater just like the chumps at the airport who routinely are found to be missing 99% of contraband.

Can someone explain this to Dunkin Donuts and their molten coffee?

Haven't they been crypto bros for years now? The Avatars have been blockchain NFTs for a hot long minute.

Some time ago I ordered UA Authentic Wide C 2.0's in Green but via the Customs creator. I love them. They fit my wide feet perfectly. That said green doesn't go with everything. Is there some way to find wide Vans on the regular website or are doing customs the only way to find the 11W I need? If I go to men's shoes they only show 11 and 11.5 in the filter but no wides.

I'm hardly an artist as evidenced by my totally unoriginal green shoe with white trim. It would be nice if I could just browse some awesome looking shoes designed by someone else, but that I know will fit me.

As with most things security it's about assessing your risk.

If you're a granny with a hand full of passwords then a notebook is probably fine.

I think for most people, who aren't CEOs, high value employees, or some kind of holder of the keys to a kingdom beyond their personal bank account, a solid full e2ee password manager that's cloud synced is a nice middle ground of security vs convenience. It beats a post it under keyboard or a notebook left on the night stand.

For those CEOs, or high value employees then something offline is in order. Or as I've seen others note perhaps a combo of full offline and cloud synced for less important logins.

I recommend Bitwarden as others have here. It seems to be the one that's come through unscathed thus far and the company behind it seems to be making the right moves to stay ahead of risks. https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/
