But the plant it came from is.

Christians are also saying that the spliced plant is the same as the donor plant, but the donor plant isn't different retroactively, and they recognize the donor plant as well.

In the same way that a splice off of a plant isn't the same plant... The plant it was spliced off of is the same plant, though.

Isn't it missing 6?

Maybe that works for internal and business communications, but if it is communication externally with clients there are a lot of people that just don't answer their phone. Sometimes it is important stuff, and sometimes there are followup questions.

"XYZ is no longer available. Would you like ABC instead?
How many of ABC would you like?"

Try uninstalling Steam (or keeping track of which one was already installed), and trying one of these methods. It was over a year ago I last did this, so I don't 100% remember which version I ended up using but believe it was the Flatpak version that worked best.

For graphics drivers updating, MintOS has a GUI interface for managing drivers which is actually pretty nice. Try searching for Driver Manager in your system utilities. Other than that, you can manually download official AMD drivers from them directly here. I'd recommend looking into that process for Linux a little more before going that route, as there are a few CLI commands you'll have to use.

As for updating anything, yes it will mostly be done the same way you installed in the first place if you used the CLI. Try the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Which version of Steam did you install? I think that's a quirky one where the Flatpak version works better in some cases, but check out the native if you're already running the Flatpak version (there are pros and cons to each).

9070 XT is new enough that driver issues aren't surprising. Periodically check in for updates drivers, more than you would usually.

I recently played through Cyberpunk without any compatibility layers and it worked flawlessly, and I've played Hitman:WoA (I know a different game/version, but closest I had) using only the Proton compatibility. (It runs native, but has some menu issues.)

I bring these up because I was running into similar issues as yours at first when I switched to Linux, and it was all caused by the Steam version I had installed. I switched that, and everything else fell into place.

Best of luck!

In addition to this, non-competative online games generally are safer. Look into the individual games you're interested in, but something like WoW or FFXIV should still work fine, Last Epoch or PoE2 work.

Stuff like Lethal Company (Platinum) or Rust (Bronze) are more case by case, depending on the anticheat they use, and even then it's often a matter of whether the developers include support or not.

Space Marine 2 uses an anticheat, but they have support enabled for Linux (though they removed it in one of the patches, before reimplementing it).

(Also a slight pet peeve to OP, it's "right off the bat")

I knew it, I'm surrounded by Assholes

Yeah, it's hard to see the lights at all until you're up close, but the first color I can see for certain is a red light. It's obviously horrible design on the part of the city, for angle and placement of the light.

I know it's green text, but assuming they called the suicide hotline before as well they must have done their job too

They don't comment "AI slop" as a shorthand for "I'm so clever, I saw this is AI".

They comment it as explicit, negative feedback to the poster. Though you can still be annoyed by it.

 

Hello, everyone!

Recently I've watched a few tutorials on how to make a fursuit head, and have decided that's it's a project I want to take on myself! I've never owned a fursuit before, not have I worked on anything this detailed of a craft in the past. Some simple cosplays that took minimal alterations from base materials, basic sewing and clothing repair, that sort of thing. But I took up painting miniatures several years ago and made good progress by taking my time and being patient with myself; I figured I could do the same here!

Does anyone have any tips for someone working with shaping foam for the base, or tricks for working with the faux fur once I get to that point? I'd love to hear of other people's journeys, as well! I plan to share pictures of my progress as the head starts taking shape.
