I don't judge anyone making whatever choice they have to make to survive, especially wrt using AI given how it's shoved down everyone's throat.

I do have little patience for someone who comes all guns blazing, calling someone an idiot over that very fact, and dares talk about empathy after belittling the OPs "liwwle feelings".

I have zero patience for the actually rich people who force that shit on us and would love not to see stupid infighting between people who suffer and are alienated from it.

This is pretty much what my initial, admittedly too snarky, response meant. Now either you're trolling or this is, for whatever reason, a sensitive subject for you. In both cases I don't see the point of discussing that further and apologies if I hurt you.

I agree with the fact that it's easier for everyone to share the same name, especially when one parent travels alone with the kids. It's such a faff (with good reasons) if you don't have the same.

The issue is more that it's often assumed that the wife has to take the husband's name by default, rather than it being ultimately a choice between the couple.

Doing alright, thanks for your concern.

Better to be an idiot than management's yappy lapdog.

Had this specific issue a couple days ago, but, to make it worse, the up-to-date package was not yet available. So discord would straight up not start at all.

So, to add another tip: telling discord to shut up about updates is the only reasonable response to that bs in my opinion. I'll update when I want to, thank you very much. Just add "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true in the settings file at ~/.config/discord/settings.json to put this software in its place.

Feels like we need to push back against this sort of shit on the regular these days (and as a EU citizen currently living in the UK, I am getting a double whammy). It is so fucking tiring to repeatedly see such egregious and moronic decisions being made by an increasingly controlling and authoritarian ruling class.

In any case, thanks Maria for bringing attention to it. I don't know whether this is only true for me or not, but I heard about chat control a lot more the first time it was being discussed a few years ago, and I only just learned about this instance now. Unsure why, and if it is actually being talked about less or if I was somehow under a rock, but your PSA is really appreciated regardless.

Haven't used Debian in a while now, but back when I did, Wayland never did appear in the sessions dropdown on a fresh install with an nvidia card and nvidia proprietary drivers. Doing what is explained in the following link always worked for me though:

Apologies if you have already tried this, but as I said, I've luckily not had to do more to get it to work, so hopefully it's the same for you.
