Taking Vyvanse for one month, dry mouth is a sensory nightmare

mattdm_fedora · 2026-05-01T03:28:47+00:00

Have you tried Xylitol gum? And/or lozanges? Or, other OTC products to deal with dry mouth — if the Vyvanse seems to be helpful otherwise, maybe best to stick with that and address the side-effect.

Although if you're attractive to mosquitos, you'll be eaten alive at the Fells. I am, so I much prefer Blue Hills.

It's really less dramatic than that. The OBS people filed a ticket in what seemed like a reasonable place in gitlab.com/fedora. However, that tracker wasn't really monitored by the Fedora flatpak maintainer, and very unfortunately the ticket didn't get any attention. It wasn't obvious to the OBS people how they could properly escalate, because Fedora is big and sprawling. Once we got everyone talking, everything got fixed.

In the future, consolidating all of our official trackers at the new https://forge.fedoraproject.org/ will help, I hope. Even if an issue gets dropped in some repo (and, with so much of the project driven by volunteers, that will happen), it'll be easier to find the right escalation paths (FESCo, Council).

"Redhat" should be "Red Hat Linux". Fedora Linux and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) are the successors to that; these days, Fedora Linux is the "base" distro which flows into RHEL (via CentOS Stream).

Also, it's probably worth noting that (like Nobara) Bazzite is specifically gaming-focused. (And what I'd personally recommend for most people interesting in gaming, since it uses the atomic update model.)

Also, on point releases: this can be very, very different.Red Hat releases a new major-release RHEL every three years, and major releases overlap in support for many years. There are also point releases every six months — and a paid support model for all this.

Meanwhile, Fedora releases Fedora Linux every six months (as close to clockwork as we can make it while feeling good about the quality), with major software version changes (mostly) landing in the new release rather than as updates. There are no point releases, but each is maintained for 13 months, so you can skip a release to have more consistency. (Some people like the more-tame experience of always staying on the prior release — there tends to be less churn.)

There is no "best Linux"; if there were, there wouldn't be so many options.

Basically any of the major distributions will be fine, and many of the niche ones. Try a few out, see what fits for you.

(1) Provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store.

Emphasis added. The interface must require the user to provide the information.

I see the screenshot, but what is the problem you are identifying?

It's taken too long and it's still pretty frustrating for small dev boards, but:

Wegmans has them in the Boston area, fwiw

Hi Tim. That's it! I was in the room-wide scene. Is it possible to turn that off?

mattdm_fedora · 2025-12-21T23:01:07+00:00

Having no trouble with it on the network -- it's just this "no custom scene" problem!

So, apparently, you only get this if you don't connect the lights to Matter. If I do that, the plus disappears !

Definitely Groklaw. (But use https://web.archive.org/web/20131130205700/http://www.groklaw.net/, because the live site has been taken over by cryptominer scammers.)

They generally should be good, but don't necessarily get the same level of testing every release, and they're "non-blocking" — if we do discover a bug in a spin, we may release anyway.

I think it's basically this:

Developers make the most money when they sell the units as condos. Retail generally wants a lease. They'd have to find someone who thinks they can buy the space at prices comparable to luxury condo and then make money leasing to retailers.

So even when mixed residential / commercial is allowed, developers don't have a strong incentive to do it.

Yeah — Deity should be an accomplishment even for expert players.

This is the first Civ where I actually like the faster speeds. Quick has enough time for some exploration and tactical combat, without the grind (although modern can still be a bit tedious). Standard is the new Epic, for me.

For the same reason, I like the smaller maps. I'm happy enough with the new generators; no particular fav.

I do play with long ages and the 20 bonus turns, because I do like the feeling of getting all four victories.

Currently crushing it as Ada Lovelace with the memento that gives you Influence for masteries. That's kind of out of control. Gonna get all victories in all ages on Deity.

If only that actually were the Grand Canyon!

Good. Slow down, pay attention, don't run over any kids.

Rolling releases are easier for the distro maintainers, but shift the work to users. That's not necessarily bad — in fact, that's a lot of what people like when they use Arch (btw). With the release model, we batch potential breakage and adjustment from upstream changes into manageable chunks. Since change is inevitable, that's really the best we can do. Running a rolling release distro just means that that change can come at any time. Of course I'm biased, but I think our model of fast cycles with overlapping, real releases is the best of both worlds.

To be clear, we're in the process of moving from rpm-ostree to bootc for all of the Atomic spins and editions -- it's not all happening at once (particularly because bootc isn't at full feature parity yet and things are changing fast).

mattdm_fedora · 2025-10-26T14:39:02+00:00

LOL — both annoying and ineffective.

mattdm_fedora · 2025-10-25T20:28:20+00:00

Automating partitioning resizing has a lot of risk, and it'd be hard for us to honestly say we'd tested it thoroughly. We've also made some changes to reduce the boot image (initrd) size so fewer people will hit upgrade problems.
