🫡 stay strong, Mr. Stallman

X would be good but under capitalism is bad is an evergreen statement

Ok, makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Did I miss it in the article? I cannot determine what the attack vector is. Am I downloading a malicious file? Am I running an insecure publicly facing service?

You're right. There is a lot of theft going on, and it goes unpunished. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/owed-employers-face-little-accountability-for-wage-theft/

lol. lmao, even.

That looks pretty good. May have to try this one.

This is why I'm fundamentally opposed to what the coreutils rewritten in Rust project is doing. And the guy who started it just claims that he's not interested in the license or legal stuff, he just picked MIT. I mean, maybe he really doesn't for all I know, but he can certainly imagine the implications of what he's doing, no? Personally, I don't believe him.

This FSF guy might sound like he's coming in to be a scold but he's absolutely correct (https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/1781). We can clearly see the implications of an essential (coreutils) MIT-licensed project like in Android where it is "Linux" strictly speaking, in that it uses the kernel, but every other piece of code is some form of MIT or BSD licensed software that allows Google to, rather successfully, jail its users.

Edit: And if you want to do some reading about how this argument over licenses formed, especially with a PR campaign to support the non-GPL style ones, check out the first half of this piece about Tim O'Reilly (as in the O'Reilly books guy) https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-meme-hustler

That's a bit vague. What did you try, and what didn't work?

I've seen advice before that creating a new user account and using that to log into multiple DEs is an option.

YOU ARE A GENIUS!

Thank you! xdg-desktop-portal-gnome was already installed but removing xdg-desktop-portal-kde did the trick!

Some aspects of theming are messed up, like the spacers on my GTK4 drop menus are just flat gray rectangles (they look like placeholder assets). Also launching some programs after a fresh boot now take an inexplicable long time, but only the first time. So for example, if I reboot and launch Firefox or Nautilus it will take an extra 5-6 seconds. Every subsequent time any slow launching program will be fast so long as one of the slow launching programs has been started.

Finally, not a messed up thing, but there is just needless clutter of stuff in my config files, now, since I've got KDE, Gnome, and actually a couple other DE things laying around, now. Mind you, this is all after I've already uninstalled KDE.

Edit: I thought about what I wrote and it occurred to me some of that stuff might be because of bad gtk4 config files. So I deleted them and rebooted. The theming is correct again as far as I can tell, but the slow launch stuff persists.
