According to Wikipedia: "One of the reasons why adults emerge in winter seems to be the absence of predators." Another reason seems to be reproduction, which is probably why the adult form does not eat. They mate "indiscriminately," apparently. Sounds like a good time.

I actually sleep better after reading about serial killers, but that's probably because I stayed up late binging Wikipedia articles on them.

Rimworld. Also DRM free through GOG!

He's a great manager, I'd imagine. He doesn't need to punish anyone for poor performance. He can just give them his signature look of disappointment, and they know.

I had a coworker who was a night auditor at a hotel. She had two jobs, but night auditor was her "main" job. She really liked it, and she said it was mostly very quiet. At her hotel, the night auditor also checked in guests who arrived at night. She said she only had a few a night, and she worked in a tourist town.

Hey, friend. I just wanted to let you know that I couldn't get New Vegas to run on my (up to date) Linux PC until I installed the custom Proton version called "Proton GE." The GE stands for Glorious Eggroll, which is the username of the developer. There's guides on how to install it on the GitHub's readme. I know it may sound complicated to someone new, but you can do it!

Here's a link to the read me: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom?tab=readme-ov-file#manual

Scroll down to the "native" install instructions.

Of course, you can ignore this if New Vegas just works for you as it seems to for many others. My system is MX Linux, not Mint.

The best way to dual boot is to have separate hard drives for Windows and Linux. I'm not aware of some distros bring more windows friendly than others.

I could, but I have no aptitude for visual art. I'd sooner buy one of the vintage Linux boxes. And I may very well do that.

Can I make my own Linux install media? Yes. I do it all the time. Can I make my own software box with cool artwork and booklets and various other goodies? No.

Thank you. I see the DVDs and the USB sticks, but how can you tell which ones actually come as a box set? It's really the box I'm interested in.

Wie komisch! I actually know German, but they don't deliver to the USA. Thank you, though.

A play? No, I just saw an old Linux box and wondered if anybody still made them.

 

I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.

To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.

 

When I am making a post or a comment through jerboa, I am having a weird issue where if I backspace/delete, the text of the word I'm writing will combine with the word before it.

As an example, if I type

The quick brown foz

And I backspace to fix the typo, I get this

The quick brownfo

If I keep backspacing to fix the problem, it keeps combining words like this

Thequickbrown

It's very annoying and sometimes I have to delete entire sentences and start over. Also, if I have a wall of text and click somewhere in the text to make an edit, sometimes it will keep typing where I was before. Also annoying.

Does anybody else have this issue? It could be a product of my keyboard, which is Open Board from F-Droid. But I usually only have issues like this when trying to type my information into websites that aren't designed for mobile. (Fennec, if it matters.)
