Capitalism is antithetical to democracy. Capitalism left unchecked will eventually lead to fascism.

As if it wasn't fucking obvious to everyone and anyone that has been paying attention for the last ten years. This really isn't "news" as much as it is another conformation from US official saying what we all already know. Still its nice to see it and i want more people to stand up ant tell us all they know!

just trying to understand what I did wrong.

You might not have done anything wrong.

There is also the possibility of a bad USB drive or write memory failure. There is lots of things that could go wrong that's not your fault. Might try a different USB or a different USB port on your machine.

You might want to try zeroing out the USB, if=/dev/zero. Then you might need to make a new partition table. You can use something like gparted. Or https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-manipulate-partition-tables-with-fdisk-cfdisk-and-sfdisk-on-linux

You can try GPT or DOS. I dont think it matters.

Not sure if the ISO will have the partition table so you might want make the new partition table just to be sure the stick defiantly has one. If dd overwrites it from the iso no harm no foul.

Thats all the troubleshooting steps I can think of right now.

xscreensaver on Wayland - got it working, kind of. (lemy.lol)
 

So I have been kind of bummed about the lack of a screensaver option for wayland and pining for the old days, of a land that came before. I completely understand the wayland devs perspective on this. But I'm old and nostalgic so I set out to try to find a workaround.

env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY xscreensaver --no-splash

So xscreensaver's settings won't work which makes it hard to configure. The only solution I have is to configure it in an X session and switch back to wayland. It doesn't really have a screen lock function and really I don't need/want it to. I just wanted to have some bouncing cows on my screen while I'm listening to music doing the dishes!

Thought I'd ask if anyone knows any hacks to get xscreensavers settings working under wayland so I don't have to switch sessions? Also maybe a hack to get one of the awesome xscreensavers working as a desktop background in KDE?

A side note, a lot of work went into these screensavers and I don't think they should be lost to time or relegated to the annals of history because it's lock screen functionality is kind of obsolete. I say we deserve bouncing cows!

How do I never see this again? (lemy.lol)
 

Searched for a few weeks and could not find any solid solution. Found a KDE thread that said it was a issue with flatpak but I don't even have flatpak installed. Others say it's Wayland, Do non KDE users on wayland get this too?

I know it's for security but it's too damned annoying to be worth it! Should I setup a tiling WM and be done with it? It really is that bad.

All I want to do is play Skyrim without seeing this every 15 minutes!

Request: groups for users (lemy.lol)
 

The ability to add users to list's separated by group. With all the crazy stuff going on it would be helpful to be able to remember who is who. Maybe with a user defined flair next to their username on their posts and comments.

I don't like blocking views I don't agree with but would like an easy way to see at a glance what kind of person I'm dealing with and make it easier to see patterns in their discussions. If they were to be overly annoying, arguing in bad faith consistently or just a propaganda mouthpiece this would make it easier to recognize.

Heat your house up a bit and enjoy some food afterword.
