Maybe? But all the resources Valves puts towards supporting Proton benefits everyone gaming on Linux, even those not using a Steam client.

It's Steam; you might wish they had more support on Linux, but you can't say that Steam doesn't support Linux.

Don't even need XKCD for it. The monster self proclaims himself as Victor Frankenstein's son, giving himself the Frankenstein surname and in another part is referred to as the new Adam. Adam Frankenstein is his name.

I'm pretty sure the majority of people mourning the loss of democracy aren't saying it because they feel the democratic process was broken this election, rather they say it because Dump vowed to dismantle democracy and serve as a dictator.

I never said it needed to. In fact, I almost added into my comment "if we valued the community enough to operate at a loss" but didn't think it was necessary.

Work at a tech store; the technicians that build the PCs for customers recently tried building with the new Core Ultra 7 256K. Two processors were dead or unstable right out of thr box. Tried with known good RAM, two different cpus on two different motherboards. It seems that Intel hasn't really fixed their stability issue, which should be their first concern.

Public transport could do something for him if it was invested in more and we valued the community enough to provide better senior transport options.

I don't even bother going that far. I just have a [words]receipts@[domain].com and use it for all of those e-receipts, accounts that make you sign up at checkout, known spam generators.

If I need to search for a receipt for any reason, I have it there. But none of it clogs up my real email

It's just different use cases. A tree would show relations to the individual, a line just proves they descended from a particular person. Applications of it might be a bit outdated, but I don't think there is any more reason to show relations in a tree than "oh, that's neat".

I suppose it is in a fashion, but not necessarily. Let's say you know you have a ancestor that was part of the first expedition to the arctic. The line of ancestor to descendent between that person and you would be the bloodline. Everyone you are related to would be your family tree, but that could be hundreds of people depending on how far back you go, and could be thousands of people if you start looking at everyone descended from that person. But you are only concerned with the direct line of lineage between them and you, and that would be your bloodline.

It would generally be between a person and a specific ancestors of theirs, so that depends on who is is tracking towards. Often it will be qualified with something like "Paternal Bloodline" or such, in which case it would follow the father, the father's father, the father's father's father, etc. Or for royalty, it would track from some historical sovereign figure and follow their legitimate heirs down to the individual being examined.
