In general, no, you will not be provided services at no cost. If you want to go back to the post office, they will require you to buy stamps.

If you won’t pay cash, then you have to pay data.

I’m sorry, let me explain what I meant by “at all.”

If a brain-dead MAGA cultists mouthbreather might suspect that you are “one of them brown people,” (you’ll forgive me for not using a term more accurate to their actual speech patterns) then you might reconsider. If you’re white, by the standards of people who still fly Confederate flags, you might do ok.

That said, I am given to understand that our immigration system is a nightmare, and expensive. I don’t know which nations might be easier or cheaper, but I recommend anywhere but here.

If you’re Arabic at all, it’s certainly unwise, and might be impossible to become an American citizen at this time.

On the other hand, I believe Trump is selling citizenship cards for 5 million dollars.

I don’t think anyone’s taking this seriously.

Thanks for the link.

This covers my thoughts about damn near every “helpful” feature this side of auto-complete email addresses.

What is it that you’re concerned about? Assume that I have no idea what either the new or old Mozilla privacy policy is, please. I tend to assume that all such are a pack of lies and everything is spying on me.

Some of those I’ve never seen hyphenated in 30 years of being an avid reader. And some of the corrections I see listed, I’ve seen used the other way.

But I’m sure they read more broadly than I do.

Can you imagine needing to pay a licensing fee in order to use the alphabet? Or your telling of Jack up the Beanstalk being subject to copyright?

Possible they weren’t aware of it. I doubt they included that on the box.

I appreciate the info!

Interesting. I may have to start switching over, then.

My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler’s Rest.

Also Star Trek Online, but that’s not Steam.

Appreciate any testing you are able to do.

I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

Yes, Minister is populated by an awful lot of people that are quite average in appearance.

Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I’m switching over.

Larry Niven is not up everyone’s taste, but I find that his Laws, such as they are, stand up reasonably well. On writing, he said this:

f you’ve nothing to say, say it any way you like. Stylistic innovations, contorted story lines or none, exotic or genderless pronouns, internal inconsistencies, the recipe for preparing your lover as a cannibal banquet: feel free. If what you have to say is important and/or difficult to follow, use the simplest language possible. If the reader doesn’t get it, then let it not be your fault.

I wish this was taught in schools.

Not us. The people in power, and their rabble.

The rabble don’t know what DEI is, only that it’s on the list of things they are told to be against.

True. I’ll take what wins we can get.
