Adicionando ao comentário do nossaquesapao, não sei quanto à usabilidade, mas Facebook a empresa sendo quem é, se bobear é mais seguro para os seus dados que você pinte o teu CPF no capô do carro e fique andando por aí.

If you are indeed autistic and it is a problem in your daily life, knowing what is the problem is the first step to dealing with it, I think. You could even find strategies to turn hindering aspects of the condition into strengths, by knowing where your issues may stem from. And on the bureaucratic part of diagnosis, sadly I can't comment as I don't have much experience with that part.

Been using NoPhoneSpam. While it won't automatically block any numbers, it will cancel incoming calls not matching its filters. Only issue is that, some times, it takes a few seconds for it to recognize not passing calls, but I think it happens when the phone is under a higher load and the system starts lagging a bit, like when downloading bigger files and playing games.

Unsure if it's a viable option for you, but using KDE's Dolphin file browser, it's rather straight forward for me to set default applications through GUI. Also maybe worth noting I use Mint Xfce, even though Dolphin is a QT program ported.

Something I personally do is to load games from their entries in the start menu. And when there's no installer to set the start menu item, a program like Alacarte, or manually editing the files that handle those entries on Linux, the .desktop files. Alternatively, linking the executable files to either Heroic or Steam can also be viable.

As for how Linux handles executables, if it's a native Linux program, you usually need to set the read-write-execute permissions to be able to launch them. Tutorials usually suggest to run chmod 777 /path/to/executable, or other variants that set full permissions to all users and user groups, but as a security concern, I would suggest running chmod 700 /path/to/executable, as this would give the full permissions only to the current user (there's a bit of a formula to come up with this number, btw).

And regarding VMs, they are as fast as the hardware allows minus the host system's demands, so it will always be slower than baremetal installs. But in some specific cases, it's still the best option.

Regarding gaming support, Heroic Launcher also help a bunch, since you can easily set up multiple versions of forks of Wine (Valve's Proton being one), or even to use the system ones.

About the wifi issue, maybe it is some oddly specific hardware that the devs tackled only in Mint 22. And in a bit of a humorous tone, what's learning without a bit of struggle? 😅

And lastly, besides dual boot, you could also set up a VM with the secondary system(s) you want. Just worth noting hardware-dependent games, e.g. many from the Windows 9x time, will struggle on VMs.

Há a possibilidade de que fossem atores pagos esse povo provocando em redes sociais maiores. Fazem ruído suficiente para expor um problema, ou pelo menos fazer parecer que há um. E pensando em potenciais porquês de fazer isso para o Biden mas não para a Kamala, se for isso realmente de atores pagos, pode ser que tenham feito isso para queimar o Biden de vez, já que este há vários anos já não demonstrava estar em plenas faculdades mentais, e viabilizar a Kamala.

Secure boot aparentemente é usado mais por sistemas centralizados, vide Windows, para garantir a legitimidade do software e/ou se foi modificado, o que, no meu entendimento, não se aplica a sistemas modulares e que podem ser modificados por qualquer um como a maioria dos sistemas Linux. E também, quando se mexe com dual boot, máquinas virtuais e afins, o secure boot muitas mais atrapalha do que ajuda, então pessoalmente, recomendo deixar desligado a não ser que precise usar um Windows da vida.

The Royal Spanish Academy's dictionary, most likely. While I can easily have conversations in Spanish, the similarities with my mother language every once in a while make me get words confused, specially in conjugation (why does B and V need to sound so similar...). I've had it for a while, and although it was a bit pricey, it has saved me quite a few times from awkward mix ups. Also bonus points for working completely offline (looking at you, Yomiwa dictionary...), and having no problems being sideloaded into vanilla Android systems.

If it's a joke, totally missed the point, so sorry to teamevil if I sounded too coarse. "<.<

I do not have a newsletter nor I know what it has to do with the post.

Having disciplined myself to break such downward spiral cycles helped. That is, if I feel stagnant, I force myself to do something, anything else. Maybe it could help you too?
