To be clear, all the fallout games or only number 4?

Interesting perspective if you have this take from fallout 1.

Fallout one and two are the real deal, three and four are in the same vein but given 3d and pulled back to more standard gaming fare, and four is a walking simulator through an area that resembles a fallout game.

    OK now that it has showed up as an upgrade option in Discover, I am wondering if now or later is better.

    I was reading this site: https://computingforgeeks.com/what-is-new-in-fedora-45/ to get an idea of what I would be looking at updating. I found this site searching, I have not visited here before, I will be disappointed if people tell me its slop, because it actually seemed useful.

    I said if its the tool you happen to have, its right there in the sentence. I would be just as happy to do all of this with IRC.

    Are you seriously recommending WhatsApp? I wouldn't use that personally, and I got to say I wouldn't even use it if you paid me.

    Firefox is still the better browser, and frankly I can't just get over that anything else is simply chrome with a skin.

    I like Vivaldi, it is my secondary browser, but Firefox is preferred. But good for you, anything is better than Brave. Vivaldi has some great aspirations of being a suite like Mozilla was back in the day, but if they want to do that, they need to make their upgrades not break their sync. The fact that happens so often makes me worry a little about their overall system.

    That's insane to me.

    I don't want phone calls, and I certainly don't really care for emails, way over used.

    As a person that got used to being online with IRC and Usenet, I gotta say Teams (as a pain in the ass as it is) is the best way to communicate (if that is the chat type tool you have).

    You don't have to respond right away, you have the information collected in chat channels, you can bring in others into the chat.

    But most importantly: it is the only one that makes sense with asynchronous remote work.

    A phone call? I tell people I do not have a phone anymore, there is no number to call. Why would you want interruption?

    Apparently not, according to Wikipedia, that started in the industrial revolution.

    GENX era was apparently due to

    "The prevalence and persistence of these myths during the 1960s and 1970s, a time of social upheaval, greater racial integration, and improved status for women, reflected societal questions about who was trustworthy.[9] Because society was struggling with questions about whether to trust neighbors in newly integrated neighborhoods, or young women who were publicly rejecting the subservient, motherhood-focused roles previously assigned to women, these stories about unidentifiable neighbors allegedly harming random, innocent children during an event intended to bring happiness to these children caught and retained the public imagination in a way that accurate stories about a judgmental neighbor, an abusive parent, or an adult carelessly leaving harmful chemicals where children can reach them, would not have.[9] An academic view sees this as an example of a rumor panic, with Halloween developing as a carnival-like folk institution – meant to release social tensions – losing its functionality as neighborhoods themselves break down (for various reasons)."

     

    Cheltham Building society - 1951.

    I like the art work!

    Context for those outside Britain, or other countries that do this.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_society

    A building society in 1951 Britain was a mutual, not-for-profit financial institution that accepted savings from its members and lent money primarily as mortgages for home purchase. They were governed by building-society legislation and registered with the Registrar of Friendly Societies.
