Your system may be reading the default config from /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf, in which case the config file in /etc will probably be empty. You should not edit the contents of a default config.
The recommended location for sddm.conf is within the /etc/sddm.conf.d/ directory, so also check for files there.
The answer will depend on which desktop environment or login manager you're using.
System users are not the right solution. The use-case for such accounts is when you want certain background services to be linked to a non-human account. Eg: Serving web requests from an http user account that only has access to nginx and the /var/www directory. By default, users created in this way don't even have a home directory.
Actually, purge night would be a great chance to fake your death. Since all crime is legal on purge night, Bob won't face charges of insurance fraud.
There could be a purge comedy about how boring old Bob from accounting broke into the morgue on purge night to steal a body. His original plan is to leave the body in his house and burn it down, sending the money to his wife who is dying of cancer. But then it turns out that the wife has hired a purge gang to kill Bob for the same reason.
It definitely will be a problem, but it will be a legal problem, not a software problem. Even if the systemd devs decided to revert this commit and never collect age data, the law would still be just a shitty as it is now.
If this law said that everyone needed to provide a phone number instead of a birthday, would everyone here be just as angry at the Bell Labs developers who wrote the GECOS standard?
Has anyone even looked at the PR? Why is there such a big stink about adding an optional birthday field to a JSON schema? It's opt-in and can't be validated in any way.
That's like saying OpenSSL is the thin end of an anti-encryption wedge because they provide FIPS compliant modules. Or complaining that it puts your privacy at risk when you generate an SSH key and it asks for your address.
The problem is the laws getting passed, not with software that gives people a choice about whether to comply.
Home assistant integration saves the day: I built a small remote that lives next to my preferred viewing seat.
With one action, I can turn off the lights and hit play. Playback is then linked to the lights, so it pauses when anyone needs to get up and resumes when the lights go out again.
People like that have always existed, and always will. They live a life where whatever they ever wanted is right nearby, and they can't imagine that the place which is good enough for them isn't good enough for someone else.
I will say this: don't let his attitude make you afraid of traveling. I'm always a homebody, but even for me there's an excitement in being a stranger in a strange land every once in a while. Give it a try.
Futuristic earth scientists are secretly studying life on a medieval planet, disguised as local nobility. One of these scientists struggles to remain aloof while the king and his minister enact a progrom against those intellectuals who history would otherwise remember as the geniuses of their era.
When a coup against the government brings even more violence and brutality, this scientist is pushed to his limit.
This novel also spawned two pretty good film adaptations.
I skipped the paywall by opening the page in my browser's article mode. Strips out most CSS and JS popups.
I have a hard time believing every claim in this piece, since the prof makes a claim that the US economy is a ponzi scheme. I think that words matter, and "ponzi scheme" is a very specific thing, which I do no believe accurately describes banking or wall street. I notice that grifters and crypto-bros are quick to describe the traditional economy as a ponzi in order to make their own scam look better in comparison. Example.
That's not to say that the capitalist economic system is fair, good for the world, or sustainable. Whether this is a mistake or an intentional mischaracterization, it makes me question the conclusions drawn.
I know this comment is a joke, but the CA bill requires age bucketing for to be provided by the OS to "covered stores". Basically, any source of 3rd party programs.
Since TempleOS (at least, the original one written solely by Terry Davis) has no networking stack, no such "covered store" can exist. I think there's not even support to load external storage drives, so all programs on the machine are either written by the user or provided first-party by the OS. I think TempleOS would be exempt on those grounds.
Did someone ask for jank, dust, and cables?
