I went back to GE Proton 10-34 and the sound came in! Thanks for the suggestion.

Just a clean, no-mods install here, and already checked the volume sliders in-game. I did try switching to wine 11.4 and got some error about failing to inject a dll… I’ll try switching Proton versions and see what happens.

Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman… TLDR the news is entertainment

House of Leaves

i’d be interested to see how it compares to data when portable CD players/walkmans came out. some of us have been wearing this Do Not Disturb sign a while.

every year at my middle school. I think they had it split up like home ec for the first two semesters and health for the last two, or vice versa. It’s been a while, but I know we had a different main subject each year. like sixth grade was sewing and learning basic nutrition, seventh grade was basic cooking/cleaning/laundry, eighth grade a little more advanced cooking as we were trusted with more tools and techniques.

i also took another home ec style class as a senior in high school because… easy A and free food lol

probably some random person’s book of poetry

damn this is unfortunate. i liked waterfox too.

VRChat needs to work on its toxic af userbase tho

An overall solid series. I read Absolution last year and am about to start his Ambergris series as soon as my library hold comes in.

I’ve fallen hard into Where Winds Meet

• https://www.learnlinux.tv/ - i started with this guy’s bash scripting series. learning bash will definitely give you at least a vague idea of what these forum commands are doing

• i promote Codecademy every chance I get because they’ve got some really good free courses, and i actually subscribe to unlock the quizzes and projects. I went through the CompTIA Linux+ certification path last year and it covers a lot.

• the most important part: take notes. like you said, there’s too much to remember. you gotta have a reference, even a place where you store other references. I use Obsidian, so i use that to search for a topic i may already have notes on already. each topic has links back to references (so many itsFOSS and GeeksForGeeks.org articles, but also youtube videos).

finally, a friendly warning: anytime a linux user uses the word “just” as in “just do this…” Ignore them. It’s never “just” something. this means they have lost the ability to put themselves in the shoes of a new user.

we need more variety

sometimes just do nothing, literally. meditating I guess.

or go back to something familiar before I’m ready for something new again
