I get wrong numbers all the time in other languages. I only speak English fluently. The languages I studied previously were mainly in writing so speaking other languages is quite intimidating for me.
Top languages in my area: Spanish (mainly Mexico and Puerto Rico), Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian. I've also encountered Igbo, Yoruba, Arabic, and Haitian Creole.
Learning how to say something like "I only speak English" would be helpful as well.
I did find this website but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is:
EDIT: Got it installed and activated, but it is not showing the full screen. Side note, the touchscreen isn't working, is that a thing in Fedora? I didn't think about that before switching from Windows.
EDIT 2: It looks like it just doesn't like me using the "maximize" button so all I had to do was drag the edges to make it larger. Not a true fix but it remembers how I wanted it when I reopen it so I'm not worried about it.
New to Fedora (and Linux in general).
Trying to install FoxIt Phantom PDF (a PDF editor). I have to use version 10.1.9 due to the license that I have (older version). I have the link directly from the company and have successfully downloaded the exe file. However, I cannot get it to install. The installer works for awhile but then the progress bar starts skipping around the screen. If I stop the install, it says there is a log file, but there is not. No files seem to be generated anywhere, aside from the exe file I downloaded. I have tried it using Bottles as well as the command line.
Here is my computer info:

Can anyone help? I need this specific program because it has form field recognition, and I have not found that when looking for other options. Thanks!

I'm sorry I didn't use different colors when I marked the names out. These comments are between the same two people. It was in a neighborhood group discussing a recent neighborhood-wide survey.
Nobody ever liked the OP's comments by the way, so I guess the whole area agrees with these enlightening definitions of racism and prejudice.
Hello,
I have never lived in a snowy place. Where I am now we usually get enough ice to make it slick and it shuts the region down. We live in the center of the country so depending where exactly we end up we probably won't have an entire mountain to drive over...probably.
I am moving to be either in Denver area or Minneapolis area. What do I do with our cars?
I have a small 4WD SUV (I don't know how to drive in areas that actually require 4WD). Our other car is a slightly larger SUV. Both have pretty low clearance.
We currently have all season tires. Do we need to get special tires or chains? How do I learn to drive with the chains? Also, does everyone just have 2 sets of tires laying around?
What about vehicle fluids? IIRC viscosity is different in different climates, is that just oil I'd need to worry about?
And are you supposed to heat your car or whatever? I know they do that in super cold places but not sure about Minneapolis.
The areas we are looking at are in and around the major cities, although if we end up in Minnesota there's a chance we will be in a more rural area or in a place where we need to drive a long distance because housing is expensive.
If anyone knows how much longer we have to get there before the roads become treacherous this winter that would be helpful. I think we have til end of September to be safe, is that usually true?
Any other tips are much welcomed and appreciated. I don't really have anyone I can ask and the internet is pretty full of AI BS now.
I'm in a very red state and have been trying to move to a blue state. (Or another country tbh but that is overwhelmingly complicated and expensive). Currently living with family but that has run it's course.
So my partner and I have been applying to places but I just had a bankruptcy this year, my partner is in the process of doing a bankruptcy, I'm on a fixed income, and my partner's income is unsteady. Plus we each have a dog. We've had them all their lives. There's no way we can give them up.
I just don't know what to do or where to go. Rent is so expensive. We need a 2 bedroom so that my partner can have a place to work. Our credit scores suck. And a lot of these places want 700+ score and no bankruptcy in the last 10 years!
We were going to have a cosigner, but they want the cosigner to have 4 or 5x the rent as income. With rent for just a studio going over $1k that's more than our potential cosigners make. And that's just for a studio, when we really need a 2 bedroom. We could probably make a 1 bedroom work, but it doesn't really matter when we don't meet the qualifications and neither does our potential cosigners.
I tried looking at places in rural areas, but even those places are expensive and with both of us having medical appointments every week, usually multiple times a week, the driving would be killer.
We can't even go to a shelter, not just because of the dogs but because all the shelters around us you have to work (some of them you have to pay rent also!). I am disabled and physically cannot work, and even if I really pushed myself and was somehow able to, I'm not allowed to work because I will lose my disability check.
I'm just at a complete loss. I have no idea what to do or where to go. I have some money in savings from a settlement, but that is running out fast with all the medical costs. And I can't stop going to my appointments or I will end up losing my disability check as well when I come up for review.
That's why we want to go to a blue state because we would both qualify for Medicaid which would give us more of our income back. And also have more of a community hopefully.
I just need advice? Or maybe solidarity? Is it going to work out 😭
Hello!
I recently found my old Garmin 1300LMT and it still works great! The suction cup is strong as ever. I'm very impressed considering it's been in the car for years enduring heat and cold.
Obviously the maps are probably 10 years old though, so navigating isn't exactly accurate in some places.
Is there a way to update just the maps themselves?
I know the newer updates have larger files, but I really don't want to change how the navigation works or add any extra features (I find newer GPS to be very annoying with giving wrong directions or repeating a step 10x in a row).
Thank you 😃
Hello!
I am somewhat handy, but I'm also pretty disabled so I (physically) can't do much.
What are some smaller things I can do to keep my house cooler this summer?
What are some small things I can do to keep my house cooler without breaking the bank? I'm mainly worried about the bedrooms.

Probably about once a month I drive past these protestors at a fertility clinic. They are always protesting abortion and saying how so many babies die there.
This particular clinic does not perform abortions at all. Ever. It never has.
Today one of their signs also said "babies are orphanized here." What does that even mean? Do they think parents are killed there? Or is it because people leave their embryos stored there?
Do they also think babies are "orphanized" at hospitals when a parent leaves their room to go to the cafeteria?
I just can't understand these people.
I am researching options to move to a better email client with some of my existing email addresses (namely gmail and outlook), but I am having trouble finding one that you can view both in a browser and in an app. Ideally it would be pretty low cost (free) but I am willing to pay for an exceptional one. Unfortunately at this time I can't change my email addresses.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I am trying to run Win98 games using Retroarch 1.19.1 on Android 14. I am trying to play either Restaurant Empire or Roller Coaster Tycoon currently, but am also interested in other games from that time.
I have looked at other sites which recommend using DosBox-Pure. I have also tried the core and SVN versions.
Nothing happens in the core and SVN versions except to say that the file cannot be run in Dos mode. When using Pure, roller coaster tycoon shows a list of exe files, but restaurant empire doesn't register any exe files. If I try to start any of roller coaster tycoon's files it says that it cannot be run in Dos mode.
Other sites said you have to install Win98 SE, which I tried but can't seem to get it to work on Android, even though there are some folks that were able to make it happen. I got it to the screen where it says to continue with setup press enter, but when I press enter on the onscreen keyboard nothing happens (esc does nothing either).
Here are the links where I got the iso files:
I also downloaded the boot disc from the Win98 link (the 7z file) but it says no executable file found.
I am not super knowledgeable about retro gaming so any assistance is helpful. (I have had success with a few games using other cores within Retroarch as well as the Dolphin emulator)
