I used to play the Beatles’ “Here Comes the S[o]n” on the speakers downstairs when I brought our first child downstairs after naps. My wife thought it was funny the first time, but after that it was all like “please don’t stop my playlist for your pun” and I’m like “it’s a literal dad joke!”

Now that son is old enough to start his own music and I totally get it. “Hey, I was listening to that!”

iirc, that’s the protocol that lets a connected device turn a display on via HDMI.

And the biggest clue to the truth of this is that the ACA is basically just RomneyCare with a few more individual protections bolted on. It was literally Mitt Romney’s plan to fix health care, and the Obama team used it because they knew that it could get support in the GOP.

This is the wrong community for a twist.

Whoops, I just assumed that since I used the web version on Windows, that was the only version available for windows. I had never even checked. Thanks!

That’s web, though. OP says they don’t want web.

Pretty sure it’s black on transparent. Not the most visible, especially if your client makes the background black.

Indeed. “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”—or, in this case, an unaudited automated process. Now, I’m sure the fact that it competes with one of their products meant that they were in no particular hurry to address the issue, but I’m sure the original failure was process related, not anti-competitive practices.

I’m not moving any goalposts at all. I’m expressing how inexperience and bad assumptions can make one’s searching unfruitful through no fault of their own. That’s all I’ve ever been saying.

Ah, you made an edit. Yeah, “kde login rotation” does, but “EndeavourOS login rotation” gives you no results mentioning SDDM. Giving people the benefit of the doubt costs you nothing over assuming that they’re lazy, and the added bonus is that you don’t sound like a jerk.

That’s totally the biggest problem with the internet. And definitely deploying self-important moderaptors is the way to fix it.

/s, of course. Get off your high horse.

Yes. I would assume that the problem is in X11 or Wayland before thinking it could be SDDM, frankly. But even then, googling “Linux login screen” doesn’t immediately reveal SDDM to be the point of concern.

Well, there was zero effort documented in the post.

You’re not their teacher. It’s not your job to decide how much effort they’ve put forth, or to grade whether or not that is sufficient.

Take a look at Ubuntu trying to teach newcomers how to ask a question.

And if they documented their research process, you’d say “tldr just ask the question.” Stop trying to be paternalistic and gatekeepy. Just answer or don’t.

I don’t know about other people, but it’s way easier to google something than to ask a question and then wait for the answer. I’m not OP, but if I’ve asked a question, it’s only because I’ve exhausted my ability to find the answer on its own.

How do you think the OP is supposed to know that “SDDM” is the issue to look up? You don’t get to enforce another person’s effort. If all you want to provide is "you’re looking for ‘SDDM,’ that would provide help and empower them without sounding like you’re biting the newbie for not knowing everything.

This sort of passive-aggressive “help” feels like a relic of the early 2010s we could do without.

Well, I think the word “barren” is a little bit more ambiguous, but generally “fallow” implies that it could be used, but isn’t; while “barren” means that it couldn’t be used for any productive purpose (specifically any agricultural purpose). In other words, land could be temporarily fallow but used again later, but would likely require remediation or even engineering to make productive if it’s barren.

Fertilizer does provide some help, but cover crops and crop rotation is still necessary. Anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate don’t replenish everything that crops take out of the ground (really just nitrogen); and even if it did, it’s really expensive.

There’s definitely not a /fill command.

Glad you enjoyed it!
