But then it will follow hallucinated regulations.

"no functional impact"? We clearly have very different ideas about the function of a display.

It's always something with Google, isn't it?

Interesting. Are there any other accounts on your phone that provide contacts? Maybe social media or other chat platforms? On Android you can see accounts in Settings > Passwords & Accounts (or somewhere similar; it varies a little between brands). You can also check inside your Contacts app by expanding the sidebar (again, varies by brand).

Just a thought. I don't have any other contact providers on my phone so I can't test it myself.

Please keep us posted if you get any official response or learn anything new!

Has anyone else been able to reproduce this? I just tried and was not able to.

OP, is it possible these people were in group chats you were part of?

I used to run Tumbleweed with KDE on my Nvidia system. I found the rolling release structure of Tumbleweed to cause extra work for me, because kernel updates came frequently and occasionally broke the Nvidia drivers. As a workaround, I ended up pinning my kernel to an old version.

Nvidia drivers have been at least a little troublesome on every distro I've used, particularly with the additional CUDA libraries.

One nice thing about Suse is that it uses BTRFS by default, and you can use snapper to revert your whole system if something goes wrong. So if Nvidia shits the the bed after an update, it's easy to roll back. Most distros default to ext4 and do not have snapshot support by default, which feels like living in the stone age to me after using Suse and BTRFS.

Of course you CAN set up BTRFS and snapshots in any distro, but that's a lot to ask for a beginner with Linux. I strongly recommend choosing a distro that does that for you, like Suse.

Thanks! Do you know if there's a way to set it to use fixed high-contrast colors? Mine changes based on web page content and is almost always lower contrast than I'd like.

This probably depends on jurisdiction. I also suspect "violence" in a legal sense is different from the everyday sense. I'm not a lawyer.

From the US FBI's web site:

The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines robbery as the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.

I prefer to convord ttp manually rather than use the trext tims.

Carbon wasn't that prevalent 10 years ago. 15, maybe. 20, definitely.

10 years ago, Carbon was already officially deprecated, and it had clearly been a second-class citizen for years before that. Most apps were already using Cocoa at that point.

Debian Stable is an excellent replacement for Ubuntu LTS.

Mint is an excellent replacement for mainline Ubuntu.

You replied as I was editing my previous comment.

They don't support that statement in any way. It's not even attributed to anyone at MS. Where did it come from?
