In the example, I was implying a scenario in which Larry sold Larry's stuff, which would have included Larry's phone.
Tom then gives Larry's phone to Steve.

I used 'stuff' in the first sentence to prevent revealing 'phone' beforehand, in which case it could have become, "Tom gave Steve the phone.".

Nice. Now what do you do in case of:

Larry sold a lot of his stuff. ... Tom gave Steve his phone.

Is there another "his" for that?

Maybe include the link and hope to get upvoted to skyrim

This exactly.

I don't want an extra launcher/downloader thing that keeps on running in the background.

When I want to play the game, I want to only have to start the game itself. That on top of the fact that Linux can have significantly less bloat than Windows, is a big +.
I even experimented with turning off plasma and playing the game directly in X11 without even a WM. Though it turned out not to make a big difference since the DE seems to be light enough to not be a problem.

Even in case of Steam, the only times I want to have to run it is when I am opening the store or updating the games. Not when I just want to play it and definitely not for a Linux native game which does not require Proton nor the runtime.

So, if there are enough people like me, the client would be a wasted effort.

Good that you could.
But I can't. Because the moderator deleted the comment. And the Modlog doesn't show up. 😢

Her problem was that her fans would then see a Samsung phone in the social pics, instead of the seasonal variety ornament that is the iPhone.

I think the actual featureset is: "Made for tomorrow. Here for today."
As in: It is made to become usable tomorrow (hopefully with firmware updates by then) and it will last until the end of today (so definitely before all the updates arrive)

Considering aeroplanes are like 100-year-old technology by this point they fail a surprising amount of times.

Not stronger. Just faster.

You need a desk to place the components on to build the computer and then to place the computer on, to do the programming.

I'd say, even with Jobs, Wozniak had a desk job.


Of course, unless you use a projector or floor-stands for the monitors and keep the keyboard+mouse on your lap, in which case, you can get away from the desk.
