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.
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?
I think that anything benign that separates evil people from a significant portion of their cash is fine by me. That’s millions of dollars they can’t use to break up unions, or replace human workers with AI, or pay for campaign ads (or hush money, or legal costs). And it’s not something that’s aiding them in those pursuits, so it’s generally just money they’re losing.
I think. That’s just my initial idea.
I think Mythbusters is a little bit of a different case than something more narrative. There are always new myths to bust; every generation needs something that makes science cool. I guess now that’s a role mainly filled by various YouTubers.
