Minsk Accords, or even a single peace talk

I couldn't find much information on this online, so I was wondering if anyone has any similar experience.

I have a machine with Void Linux installed, which uses Runit. I have installed greetd which works with agreety, but I'm trying to test out gtkgreet. Setting up greetd to run gtkgreet in cage gives me errors. Fair enough, I am certain I misconfigured something.

The issue is when I try to switch to a different terminal. Seems like the greetd from XBPS on runit wants to refresh every second once it fails. So until the config is rewritten to launch a command that works, it will constantly spam the same error messages.

Again, this would be okay, but when I switch to a different terminal, it seems to pull me back every time there's a new error message, which is every second, making it very difficult to login or do anything on those other terminals.

This is pretty disastrous and borderline locks me out of my computer, so I wanted to hear if this situation sounded familiar to anyone.

Edit: Seems there are two configurations for greeter sessions, the default_session and the initial_session. Putting the cage gtkgreet in the initial session, and not the default session, prevents the issue, because the initial_session only gets attempted once. This is still weird to me especially since the resources I was using suggested using cage gtkgreet under the default session.

$8 for a McFlurry sounds absurd

There are some things that do change. In my case, it says my window manager is sway when it is actually river. So certain things will stop working as expected if it is not maintained. This is different from a game, because as systems change, it doesn't affect how the game works if the platform it runs on can be emulated. In a sense, the game is still being updated because the emulators required to use it are being updated.

Ok, I'll bite

  1. How has Russia invaded Transnistria? Transnistria was a breakaway region during the collapse of the Soviet union, similar to Gagauzia
  2. No one disputes that Chechnya is Russian territory. Russia cannot invade its own territory.
  3. Georgian military intended to genocide ethnic minorities. Russia supported the autonomy of said minorities.
  4. Crimea was given to Ukraine by Kruschev very recently. It is almost entirely ethnically Russian, and those ethnic Russians voted overwhelmingly to secede during a coup/constitutional crisis as the alternative was staying in a country where there culture and language are banned, or worse become the target of hate crimes from neo-nazi battalions as many cases are well-documented

Might as well block me too while you're at it

Russia can then ingest Ukraine, continue to seed political distrust in Western countries and then potentially start another war in Europe a few years later.

Holy shit this is the most mapgame-brained comment of all time. You mean Russia will get enough war score to annex Ukrainian territories, wait a few years for aggressive expansion to die down, spend some admin points to press the "sow discontent" button, then war when the casus belli is ready? Like a classic EU4 blob?

Stop gaming and read some books.

Russia is the biggest reason the baltics joined.

The Baltic states joined in 2004. Long before Putin was made into a pariah, and Russia was still seen as part of the West and publicly aspiring to join NATO

Ok, that's sort of what I figured. I'll probably do that going forward. Thanks

New to linux. I tried this same thing in a virtual machine. I got a lot of stuff to work, but it seems like any services and daemons have to be installed on xbps because the ones from nix can't be enabled for Runit, or at least require doing that in a different way. So I would install those services through XBPS and everything else with Nix-Env which was enough to get a WM up, but I kept running into issues installing other things.

Now I'm running Void directly on my computer and I'm sticking to XBPS and so far it has gone a lot smoother, but I've heard about this Void + Nix thing a lot, but never really seen mentioned what the recommended approach to that is

 

What is with the "made for kids" bs? I know it's about COPPA compliance, but I also think YouTube bears some responsibility for how stupid they have made their system.

Basically, any video that is "made for kids" lacks most basic features. You can't leave comments, you can't add the video to the playlist. You can't use the miniplayer in the app, which is a UI feature. Why? Because the people who wrote COPPA are a bunch of boomers who don't understand the internet.

This would all be fine, because I don't tend to watch content that is actually for children. But as someone who has helped others upload video to YouTube, I know first hand how easy Google makes it for people to want to click the "made for kids" button even when their content is targeted to the general audience. Basically, people think "well, there's nothing in this video that is unsafe for children, so I must check the box then" which effectively handicaps anyone watching their video from using the most basic features.

This shit makes me so fucking angry.

This might just be a me problem, but I don't like that they use the word toot in Mastodon.

When they chose that word, they probably were going for the sound an elephant makes with its trunk, because a mastodon is similar to an elephant. But I have always been aware that toot is another word for flatulence. So personally it makes me cringe.

You can imagine what it's like for me if you replace "toot" with "fart" on mastodon. Now everyone is talking about liking the best farts, sharing someone's fart, etc. I'm not suggesting they change it on my account, I just wanted to share and see if anyone else had the same problem.

Edit: Apparently they already did change the name

I have added some rules to the sidebar of this community. There weren't any rules before. Give me feedback on the new rules if you have any. Should any of them be removed or modified? Should any new rules be added? Let's discuss it.
I considered adding a rule against memes and one against propaganda, but I have refrained from that for now.

About past posts. I had decided to retroactively apply these new rules to some recent posts. Usually, I don't think that is fair, but in this case, I think it is necessary so that the last 10 posts of this community are not just leftypol meme spam, and people get a better idea of what kind of content belongs here. Otherwise, I am letting old rule-breaking content stay for posterity.

I look forward to seeing more great pictures and more activity here.

 

I was doing some caving after 1.17 came out. How rare is it to just find one without an eye of ender? I was kind of surprised
