Only Human - Memphis May Fire (feat. AJ Channer)

(Note, the linked music video has a seizure warning at the start of it)

I used to justify it with “I’ve had a shit day, I deserve to be able to have something for the convenience” - not to mention, I don’t have a car so realistically it was “Do I want fast food or not”.

Then I started to realize that every day tends to be a bad day for me, due to a multitude of reasons. I live paycheck to paycheck (which is why I don’t have a car in the first place) and the amount I was spending on takeout was way too high.

Now the only time I do so is on Fridays because my workplace lets us spend $25 on their tab just for joining the weekly staff meeting. Aside from that, I might order a takeout once, maybe even twice, during a pay period as a “congrats for making it through last month” but I’d like to even stop doing that ideally.

They might’ve done so out of necessity. I don’t know if the dev(s) of the Simple Tools apps were working on it full time, but if they were and just not enough contributions were coming in from it… Well everyone has to eat.

As the saying goes, “everyone has their price”. It’s easy to condemn the developers for their choice until you’re in the exact same scenario as they were. Whether that’s because they were starving, or even just offered enough money to make their lives a lot easier - not too many people would turn it down.

Realistically, a lot of relationships are “situational” (especially at that age) - but that doesn’t erase the fact that they existed in the first place.

Yeah that’s what I’m unsure about unfortunately. I’d be very surprised if that disabled Wayland. At one point, there was some remote desktop software that disabled Wayland silently, to get around the security restrictions of Wayland… But this project wouldn’t be bound by any Wayland restrictions as far as I can tell.

Hmm, so as long as you have 510 or above on the Nvidia driver you should not be getting blocked by that. I’m unfortunately not sure then.

Perhaps you could try installing sddm which is KDE’s display manager (the equivalent of GDM) and see if it shows the Wayland option?

Pretty sure it doesn’t require the whole KDE suite, once it’s installed run:

sudo systemctl disable gdm && sudo systemctl enable sddm and reboot, then you should get SDDM and can try to change the session type at the bottom left.

Note that when using SDDM, you can’t lock your screen in Gnome since that is tied to GDM - you’ll get a notification saying that the screen lock isn’t available.

If SDDM doesn’t show it either, then somehow I think you’d be missing the actual session entry files? Not sure how that would happen though.

Hmm, I know at one point GNOME/GDM locked out Wayland for Nvidia cards - but that hasn’t been the case for a while (and possibly was distro specific).

Is there any output from:

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
cat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

If you haven’t already, it’s worth a shot!

Out of curiosity, and I can’t think of why it would affect it - the WaylandEnable= is generally commented out instead of explicitly set. What happens if you put a # in front of that line to comment it out again?

Hmm, well the railing of my bed would well… be railing me.

I mean, sure - why not? Like Ada said, if it isn’t going to cause any negative impact on me, there isn’t a reason for me to object that I can think of.

I would be a bit concerned about the hazards of drawing a lot of attention to yourself on the internet, because of the vile people on the internet - but aside from a brief note about it (if they asked for my opinion), that’s really all I’d have to say on the matter.

Ah I see, that’s unfortunate then. For what its worth, I still think the bot is a great idea for discoverability and bridging the two services together! I hadn’t seen it before since I usually have bot users muted and happened to see this comment chain while logged out.

I’ve given it a follow from my Mastodon account since I do tend to miss quite a few cool Lemmy posts it seems, and I think it’ll help me find some communities in general that I’ll want to subscribe to from over here.

I wonder if perhaps wrapping the majority of the text in a spoiler would work. Though I don’t know if that translates over to Mastodon (if not, it might look a bit funky on that side).

Unfortunately this tends to apply to most of the “I’m not but…” phrases that people say.

I feel like most people (assuming you’re not on Reddit) don’t really care, so long as you’re not being spammy with them (or not just reply with only an emoji).

Every now and then I’ll tack one on at the end of a comment if I think that my tone might come of a bit more passive aggressive than I intended it to be, but most of the time I just see it as “I might need to rewrite this so that it doesn’t come off that way” instead.

And if you really want even more barebones, you can just do git init --bare into a directory on your VPS, and then git clone [email protected]:path/to/the/directory and use git as you would normally!

I love that the brain still relies on real-life data on the world it creates

I’ve heard that the brain isn’t really capable of creating unique faces, so when you see people in a dream - even if they seem random to you, they’re probably just someone you saw in passing (on the streets, online, etc) which is interesting!

Realistically there isn’t a way to reliably test that theory, but it definitely makes sense to me at least.

Similar thing here on my MacBook, upgrade went smoothly just needed to force rebuild the kmod-wl package for the Broadcom wireless driver to restore networking.

Here’s a link in case anyone runs into the same thing.
