I completely agree with your assessment especially with how most social media these days really dumbs down the entry level effort needed to participate in discussions.

And to your point, participating on a BBS (which usually requires a more specific interest and consequently a similar engagement level) will generally reward you with a community that is more civil, friendly and worth frequenting.

I use Jshelter alongside Ublock. They’re a good combination.

AOL was 'everywhere' especially in the mid to latter '90's. Their advertising push coupled with so many hours of free Internet access upon installation made them an early titan of Internet service access.

The open source community (or movement) is about, well..open source that many of us here benefit from and greatly appreciate. While everyone is free to agree or disagree with the personal ideals of any developer who has made their positions known, it's not fair to discount the importance of someone's historical contributions just because their current opinions seem incongruent to our own.

"JS is his baby that’s all there needs to be said about the person’s motivations."

"During these formative years of the Web, web pages could only be static, lacking the capability for dynamic behavior after the page was loaded in the browser. There was a desire in the flourishing web development scene to remove this limitation, so in 1995, Netscape decided to add a scripting language to Navigator. They pursued two routes to achieve this: collaborating with Sun Microsystems to embed the Java programming language, while also hiring Brendan Eich to embed the Scheme language."

I think you're confusing the reasons behind the initial intent of JS versus what it has evolved into almost 30 years later.

I was first introduced to Vince Guaraldi (as I believe many others were) through the Peanuts TV shows back in the 60’s and 70’s, and I thoroughly enjoy all of the songs associated with those shows.

But I was pleasantly surprised to discover his love for the Latin flair/style of jazz, and I soon found myself loving the latter more than the former (but only by a little bit 😉).

Edit: grammar

Okay. Do you have Wine installed?

Wine can potentially help resolve the .exe and .NET errors that you’re experiencing.

Did you download it via Snaps or Flatpak?

We’re you able to download the game via Steam? And if so, what method did you use to launch it via Lutris? Did you try launching it by accessing a file?

Try looking in: ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common

I don't have BG3 installed, but I have had some weird issues when using Steam lately. Have you tried using Lutris to launch the game?

C'mon peeps...this is Linux Gaming (having fun, playing games and looking for help to get our favorite games to run properly). It's a community focused on information and support - confrontations and PvP should be reserved for "in-game" experiences only ;).

My most listened to album (open.spotify.com)

Around 30 years ago, I found a CD series called “Jazz ‘Round Midnight”. Each album featured a different jazz artist with songs they played that were apropos to the series title.

This one by Bill Evans I listened to every night when going to sleep for literally 10 years and never grew tired of it. I can’t say that about any other album or individual song.

I downloaded it from Steam, and finished the tutorial. Then the transition video plays and I’m back at the main menu.

However, when I select the play Baulder’s Gate option, it takes me right back to the end of the tutorial and I’m in this endless loop that I can’t get out of. Any suggestions?

 
 

I've been playing around with Goguma and RevolutionIRC mostly. I'm leaning more towards RevolutionIRC at this point, but I was curious about any suggestions you might have.

 

Outside of the default uBlock Origin, do you use any other extensions that offer privacy benefits? I only have one other extension installed, JShelter, and I'm wondering if this is an overkill or not.
