Conciseness and directness help.

As an example, there was someone I worked with that tended to ask around a question.

"What do you know about x? What do you know about y? What do you know about z?"

Instead of "How do I get from x to z?"

I think they just want to understand the underlying process. And I can understand that. But I wasn't their mentor and it was at times frustrating.

Not suggesting OP is doing this. Just a general thought I had in regards to the question.

My tenuous understanding from an article I read about the AT protocol but barely remember is that it can't be fully decentralized. I think you have to use bluesky for user authentication. And I think it said the hosting hardware requirements would be significant to the point where it's not very feisable. I welcome corrections/clarifications.

Point is, assuming that's reasonably correct, true decentralization isn't possible. And by it's nature as a big corporate owned site, enshittification is inevitable.

I've had that same sense of Kevin Smith movies not holding up. But still loved Dogma last I saw it which was... maybe a few years ago. Maybe I should again. But then maybe doing so will ruin it.

This was 15+ years ago. I was driving with several friends. Among them was Jane (not actual names) who used to date another friend, John. Who was not present. This friend group in the car, while fairly mutual, was more Jane's clique than John's. Except me, who was closer to John. It occurs to me after writing that introduction to mention I had no romantic interest in Jane, not that kind of story.

Anyway, we started talking shit about and making fun of John in the car. I don't remember how that got started or why I participated. I liked John and bore him no animosity at all. I guess just young and dumb and wanted to fit in.

Someone who was in the car told him about this and he called me out on it. I remember him being particularly bothered that I'd talk like that about him with his ex around others. Which, pretty understandable. I saw the wrong of it and felt like a real piece of shit. And that friendship never really recovered.

I don't talk about people behind their back anymore or engage in any other kind of gossip.

Edit: couple changes for clarity.

The Philippines. I'm almost positive, anyway.

Best I can tell post blur, those posts are marked NSFW. You can choose to hide those posts. Assuming you're signed in anyway, I'm not familiar enough with that interface to tell.

The crossover I didn't know I wanted.

Or unix beard. Though perhaps not as tidy, stereotypically.

My knowledge both of Fedora and Nvidia are both a bit dated. So if anyone "um actually"''s me, probably defer to them. But last I knew you want to get nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repo. Relevant link: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA.

As others have mentioned there's no need to remove flatpak.

Otherwise, sounds like you're on the right track to me.

Edit: I just read a comment about breakage with Fedora flatpaks. So perhaps prudent to remove if so.

I have an account there that I use as a junk email account and their android calendar app. Nothing else. I used to use davx5 and caldav via my primary email provider but I had issues with it losing notification settings on recurring events. I may go look for a different calendar solution. I'll probably still use it for junk mail.

I use the following services, and have for a couple years now I think.

Mailfence for email Mullvad for VPN
