Editing scripts are easy to mess up and with the -i, the original file may be changed in ways not wanted. Unlike interactive editors, there is no undo. -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

Since F38 Upgrade, Thunderbird Opens as Tiny, Postage Stamp
by Tim Evans 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Should have asked about this sooner, as it's something I've seen since the very first F38 upgrade. Not sure if this is Fedora or Thunderbird issue. When Thunderbird opens, it does so postage-stamp size, way up in upper left hand corner of window, so small I almost missed it at first. Right-clicking "maximize" restores it to full screen display.

Texts to cell phones
by ToddAndMargo 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Hi All, Fedora 38 Is there a utility to send/receive texts to/from cell phones including graphics? I have been using Thunderbird, but the cell phone companies mess with it and most do not go through. I noticed that Windows 11 has an application for that. -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
