This was a great series to be sure!

Like you, I have unfortunately lost the physical CDs over time which I also used to rip to my pc and copy to other places as well.

However, I did stumble across an app called Spotiflyer which I use to download songs/albums from Spotify (and other services) for free and then listen to them offline. It's great to have locally stored media vs. having to be chained to online services.

That being said, I haven't listened to that Billy Holiday album, but you've got my interest piqued and I'll definitely check it out.

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 ;).

Yeah, I feel the same way.

I found a Spotify link. I’ll see if that works.

Another update: I installed the game on a newer computer running a different OS, and BG1 is now working as expected.

It’s interesting, I only have a couple of Steam games in my library, but they all respond differently on my two systems - some that didn’t play, now do. And some that worked on the other system, won’t on the new one 🤷‍♂️.

Well, that explains things 🙂

I don't think Jerboa supports 'native notifications' which means it relies on other services (such as Google Play Services) in order to push notifications to your phone. Some applications (such as Fairmail, F-Droid) don't rely on Google's services and use the OS's native notification abilities.

I ran into the same problem with Steam today, and your post caught my attention.

I had been playing Carcassonne without any issues when I tried to launch it today and began receiving DirectX errors. Trying different Proton versions didn’t work for me either.

I’m running an i7 11th gen on openSUSE with a GeForce RTX 3050 with similar errors to yours.

On a semi-related note, the Hale-Bopp comet was an amazing event to witness.

If true, this is a bit disturbing. However, I run uBlock in my browser and don't recall seeing any blocking attempts when on this instance. Do you have any specific details?

It cannot be…Hal 9000 and SDF have synthesized and are taking over!
