I couldn't find much information on this online, so I was wondering if anyone has any similar experience.

I have a machine with Void Linux installed, which uses Runit. I have installed greetd which works with agreety, but I'm trying to test out gtkgreet. Setting up greetd to run gtkgreet in cage gives me errors. Fair enough, I am certain I misconfigured something.

The issue is when I try to switch to a different terminal. Seems like the greetd from XBPS on runit wants to refresh every second once it fails. So until the config is rewritten to launch a command that works, it will constantly spam the same error messages.

Again, this would be okay, but when I switch to a different terminal, it seems to pull me back every time there's a new error message, which is every second, making it very difficult to login or do anything on those other terminals.

This is pretty disastrous and borderline locks me out of my computer, so I wanted to hear if this situation sounded familiar to anyone.

Edit: Seems there are two configurations for greeter sessions, the default_session and the initial_session. Putting the cage gtkgreet in the initial session, and not the default session, prevents the issue, because the initial_session only gets attempted once. This is still weird to me especially since the resources I was using suggested using cage gtkgreet under the default session.

Walmart frozen burritos. They are incredibly cheap, by weight almost comparable to cheap staples like pasta or rice. I can toast them on the pan and add some fire hot sauce. Tastes good. Easy to make. Inexpensive. Only downside is that there's no way it's good for you.

How many boosters did you get?

Because history is never the result of good or bad intentions, as much as propaganda would try and convince you otherwise

It's hardly a whataboutism if I'm simply pointing out the selective outrage that give people a skewed and one-sided view of reality. I wouldn't have to bring up Assange if people gave him half as much attention, something that could actually help lead to his freedom and do something instead of demonizing happenings you have no control over aside from starting WW3.

"Certified nationalist" comes from Al Jazeera. He was a straight up Nazi, and Russia has claimed its goal is denazification after the Nazis killed 40 million of their people in living memory and there are somehow still people there who think Nazi ideas are good, they have no excuse. Who knows the circumstances of how he died, but lets not forget the CIA tried to kill Julian Assange, that's a confirmed fact about the US empire. The US empire will murder not to protect their people from Nazi thugs but to preserve their tyranny while Russia protects people like Snowden.

That's misleading at best. W76-2 began production a few years ago. B61-12 recently began production with B61-13 on the way. The current US stockpile may be down from its cold war height in bare numbers, but that's not the point. The US is always improving its nuclear technology and refitting, upgrading, or re-manufacturing its existing stockpile. Clearly "wiping out humanity" is not enough.

If it was that simple, the US would have stopped producing missiles and warheads a long time ago

They are not nearly as large or as capable as what the US has though

 

What is with the "made for kids" bs? I know it's about COPPA compliance, but I also think YouTube bears some responsibility for how stupid they have made their system.

Basically, any video that is "made for kids" lacks most basic features. You can't leave comments, you can't add the video to the playlist. You can't use the miniplayer in the app, which is a UI feature. Why? Because the people who wrote COPPA are a bunch of boomers who don't understand the internet.

This would all be fine, because I don't tend to watch content that is actually for children. But as someone who has helped others upload video to YouTube, I know first hand how easy Google makes it for people to want to click the "made for kids" button even when their content is targeted to the general audience. Basically, people think "well, there's nothing in this video that is unsafe for children, so I must check the box then" which effectively handicaps anyone watching their video from using the most basic features.

This shit makes me so fucking angry.

 

I bought the Palestine charity bundle last year, and I only now realize that it includes Mini Metro and Luck be a Landlord. I have been wanting to play these games for a while, and I had them in my library the whole time not knowing it.

I guess that's not a problem and more of a pleasant surprise. But it can be hard getting the most out of the bundles if you don't know what's worth playing. That's why I share the link to this page because that's how I found out I owned these two games, and hope someone else finds it useful.

This might just be a me problem, but I don't like that they use the word toot in Mastodon.

When they chose that word, they probably were going for the sound an elephant makes with its trunk, because a mastodon is similar to an elephant. But I have always been aware that toot is another word for flatulence. So personally it makes me cringe.

You can imagine what it's like for me if you replace "toot" with "fart" on mastodon. Now everyone is talking about liking the best farts, sharing someone's fart, etc. I'm not suggesting they change it on my account, I just wanted to share and see if anyone else had the same problem.

Edit: Apparently they already did change the name
