  • Thanks for the help!

    Turns out it was a hardware issue - I eventually found that I couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi in my mint live usb or Windows 10 on that computer either after a bit more testing. A full power off and unplug seems to have reset whatever was wrong with the Wi-Fi adapter and all is working again, thank goodness.

    Thanks again for taking the time to help! It’s what I’ve come to love about this community in the two months I’ve been in it!


  • I’m on Linux mint 22 and use surfshark as my VPN. It has a Killswitch to ensure that I can’t be connected to the Internet when the VPN isn’t active.

    But, when I turned on the Killswitch, suddenly all of my Wi-Fi options disappeared completely from my network manager. I can’t connect to the Internet at all - the option is completely gone.

    I disabled the Killswitch and rebooted but that didn’t do anything.

    I used time shift to revert to a snapshot from yesterday but still no Wi-Fi options.

    I tried disabling and stopping the process that turning on the Killswitch enables, but no luck there either.

    Uninstalling surfshark doesn’t do anything either and just requires another time shift.

    At this point I’m at my wit’s end. I have no idea what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Here’s my comment from the last time this came up (like a week ago):

    “There’s been no meaning shift. The “possessive” and “envious” uses of jealous both date from the 14th century in English, and both senses were present in the ancestors of these words all the way back to Greek.”

    It’s always been synonymous with “envious”, as far back as we can trace.

    This is horrible logic. If anything, it should be: you need to learn Celsius if you are doing science, but most people aren’t scientists and therefore don’t need to learn Celsius, so this isn’t really a problem that comes up for a lot of Fahrenheit users.
