Anyone considering attending a protest of any kind should probably at least skim over some of this guidance:

Follow the ~~money~~ hashtags! Seriously, if you can't immediately find people to follow (a very common problem when people first join a social network), follow hashtags! Super easy to do:

  • Search for your topic
  • In the search results, switch to the "Hashtags" tab (or just scroll down to the hashtag section of the results)
  • click into one of the hashtag search results
  • Review the posts, frequency, etc. If you like what you see, click "Follow Hashtag".

It really does a great job of (1) populating your feed with interesting, relevant content and (2) can ultimately connect you to new people with similar interests.

waaaay back in my wild and misspent youth, some friends and I bought a 5 pound case of these from Costco. It was the mintiest weekend ever. Damn those were tasty.

Thanks for providing that link. I knew about OSM, but didn't fully grasp that (duh) it's open which means I can help with the data. Time to get busy! :)

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't something you can do at the system level. Individual apps can specify where they output, but not the system. You can control the volume of individual, active applications (i don't know if it's persistent). I imagine it would be possible to add that capability, but it would be via a new app or extension.

It's definitely a risky move, for the reasons you already called out. But sane? Yeah, probably. I've known a few people over the years that have done similar moves: dropping out of high-pay/prestige positions due to the stresses and general unhappiness. They've almost always ended up generally happier for the change. Just don't be afraid to acknowledge if the move isn't working. Don't talk yourself into staying in a bad situation because you don't want to admit that the move isn't working.

(but also: drop an update in a few weeks. I'm now curious to see how this goes for you.)

Based on what I've seen over the last few years, it's the over-16s that should probably be banned from social media.

Not surprising really. Look back at the history of war and see how many occasions there was a friendly fire incident under the best of circumstances. Russia has already had numerous, often high-profile FF incidents in this war alone. Add in a completely foreign group of fighters speaking a different language, etc, etc... Pretty much inevitable.

Heh, this is exactly what I went through today. I'm a paid Proton user, but ignored Proton Pass when it came out because I was already well-entrenched with BitWarden. Decided today to give it a real look. Generally pretty pleased with what I'm seeing, though I'm not entirely committed to shifting platforms.

This is FIFA we're talking about. This is an organization that has been called "cartoonishly evil". If all they did was ignore a human rights report, it would be a major step up for them.

It could take a century

Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

As with most things in life, it's probably a combination of factors. But please don't beat yourself up over it.

There's a lot of good advice already in this thread; no reason to repeat it. One thing you might look at the Proton Github issues list. Occasionally, when a game otherwise has a gold rating but I have problems with it, I can find some interesting corner-case details here. Here's a link that you could use to find Anno 1404 issue, as an example: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+%22anno+1404%22

The other thing I would suggest is that you be more verbose when describing problems. You did a great job sharing the high-level issue and your system's details, but what do you mean by "didn't work"? Does it fail to launch? Does it launch but not do X? Those details can go a long way towards troubleshooting (though I do understand that your post was meant to not be game-specific).

Oh, and stay away from Cracks. Unless you're VERY sure about what you're doing, it's just inviting trouble.
