Also Mozilla.

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.

Ok, I was on the “old.” skin; let’s try the standard skin.

Nope, it doesn’t work on the standard skin, either.

Hmm, weird. I notice that you’re using Firefox; maybe that’s the deal. I am too:

Aha! I think that might be it! I can’t on Firefox either.

Edit: Nope, just tried it on Boost, and that didn’t work either.

I wonder if this is less about convincing the “undecided” (however many of those there are) to vote against Trump, and more about demoralizing the more-centrist Republicans enough that they stay home, or only vote down-ticket. For as loud and brash as they are online, the Trumpists who live out in the country near my parents are a lot quieter than they were in 2020. I’ve only seen a handful of yard signs, and by the beginning of summer in 2020 there were huge Trump displays. One guy even repainted his barn to get Trump’s name off of it. The people you can actually have a conversation with are abashed and even ashamed of the guy. Will they still vote for him? Maybe. But if reasonable people can just keep associating Trump with the chaos and lawlessness that we all know he represents, maybe they’ll just decide to stay at work all day on November 5.

Did he finally wrest the reins from Gwynne Shotwell? She was calling the shots pretty effectively for a while.

Yeah, and I use a Pixel, so I don’t even really often have to hit any app icons at all, making this even more of a nothingburger.

Sure, which is why I didn’t put “again” after that, but it was really just necessary for the joke (because yeah, it’s obviously ridiculous).

There are some who call me…Tim?

Honestly who can tell at this point?

Much like Google Chat became Google Hangouts which became Google Chat, Google Wallet became Google Pay which became Google Wallet again.

How long before Google Play becomes Android Market again? Or YouTube becomes Google Video?

A duck!

This reminds me of when Weird Al told Canadian (or maybe Australian?) fans who wanted to watch his movie, “there’s Very Probably No way to do this. I know you probably have a TORRENT of questions, but I don’t have time to answer them right now.”
