Hey All,

I'm looking for a good softphone in Linux. I tried Linphone, but it had the same issue I had in Windows where I could send texts ok, but can't send and receive calls. In Windows, I used Microsip since it worked as soon as I configured it. Linphone seems to be "special." Any suggestions?

And I don't care about video calls.

 

Hey Everyone,

I haven't been active here for camp and the pre-season. My Wife passed away in early July, and it has been hard. I'll get back to it at the start of the regular season. I haven't abandoned the community.

Yes, every office job in the world will be replaced by AI. Not with the current tech, but it is coming.

I'd say the Nexus phones (pure Android) were way more a game changer than the Pixels.

The economic team is killing the game by being stingy.

That and Harbaugh telling them to get out of his office and go fuck themselves.

Going that way is a great way to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Messing with their equipment is going not going to end well.

Switch to Linux. I did it a few months ago and I have zero complaints, even in gaming.

People have inflated expectations for rookie QBs since CJ Stroud set the world on fire his rookie year. People forget QBs like Peyton Manning struggled in his rookie year.

Trump and his supporters want clarification on which racial epitaphs to use.

Workplaces are all about the apps. If those apps you need only run in Windows, that's what you run. Believe me, businesses would LOVE to cut license costs.

I was getting a couple of pop up ads in my Win10 install, and I switched a couple of months ago. The more I looked at gaming, the more I realized it could be done.

 

Lions kicker Michael Badgley is out for the entire 2024 season with a torn hamstring. Lions are down to just one kicker, Jake Bates.

You manually load them up and pray the vendor didn't fuck up like this.

I'm trying really hard not to go down the rabbit hole of themes, because I know Cosmic is coming. Just haven't seen any ETA on that other than maybe an alpha later this month.

 

Hey all, noob here. In the system settings of Pop OS I chose dark mode. At first everything was fine. But something happened. This issue is only happening in the Show Applications area. It is dark mode, but the text is all black instead of switching over to a lighter color like it did before. Makes it tough to read as you can see in the screenshot. I've tried flipping to light mode and then back to dark mode several times of varying length with no success. Any tips to get it back to normal?

Bonus issue: I have uninstalled OpenRGB, but it is still showing up in the app list as you can see in the screenshot. Any way to remove it? If I reinstall OpenRGB, I get a second icon.

Hey all, with camp just a few weeks away I'd like to reach out to you and see what you would like to see. After all, this is YOUR forum much more than it is mine.

Anything you'd like to see from me? Any kind of content you'd like to do or take over? Anything I'm doing that annoys the hell out of you?

Generally I've been trying to do an opponent preview on Monday/Tuesday, game thread, and post game thread. And yeah, I've missed occasionally. Sorry.

Let me know what you think.

 

So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don't give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we'll see.

 

Joining Pavel in the 2024 class are:
Shea Weber
Jeremy Roenick
Natalie Darwitz (US Women's National team forward)
Krissy Wendell-Pohl (US Women's National team forward)
David Poile (builder category)
Colin Campbell (builder category)

Congrats to the Magic Man!

 

Bates signed a 2 year deal with the Lions after visiting the Packers and Commanders. Bates gained attention in the UFL while on the Michigan Panthers, where he kicked game winning, 64 yard and 62 yard field goals. He was 17 of 22 (77%) for the Panthers, including 7 of 7 from 40-49 yards and 6 of 10 with 50+ yards.

Interesting they gave him a two year deal instead of a one year prove it deal. Maybe they anticipate him winning the job?

 

Lions sign Goff to a 4 year, $212M extension, with $170M guaranteed. The $53M AAV makes Goff the 2nd highest paid player in the NFL, behind Joe Burrow. For now.
