I use Kubuntu 23.04

After unisinstalling steam with "sudo apt remove steam*" and then "sudo apt autoremove", I want to update the system with the classic "sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade and sudo apt autoremove" but when I write "sudo apt update" I got this:

sudo apt update

You removed Steam, but you are still trying to update the package lists of Steam. Remove the `steampowered.com` repo from your `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`.

When I go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d I have: google-chrome.list steam-beta.list steam-stable.list. Which one should I delete ?

@m615 Of course, the two corresponding to steam.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
