  • I was listening to a Behind the Bastards episode the other day, and the malicious lying that goes on around FEMA’s hurricane efforts is bloody depressing. People refusing the $750 handout to buy food because they think they’ll lose their house over it, one guy was relating his FIL’s plight and almost in tears. They couldn’t convince him that it was bullshit and didn’t have the money to go to NC to pack him up and take him to somewhere safe.

    There’s a special place in hell for the shitbirds spreading this trash.


  • If you’re on Mint still, that’s X11 fucking you over. AFAIK, Mint hasn’t moved to Wayland, though you might be able to install an experimental session, but I wouldn’t trust it like a distro that’s all-in on Wayland.

    I used to contend with monitors jumping around like a jack russell terrier with X11, never keeping settings, dropping out due to ACPI. Wayland has fixed pretty much everything I had going wrong with that stuff.

    Boot a live USB of some distros that default to Wayland like Fedora, and see how it reacts to screensaving, then make some choices from there.
