Also Mozilla.

Bro, obviously I have no idea what you’re talking about. So either give me a link or shut up in an acknowledgement that you’re trying to get me to admit something and you actually have no argument.

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.

Yeah, I have been. That’s why I’m saying what I’m saying.

Do you think I’m someone else?

This sort of passive-aggressive “help” feels like a relic of the early 2010s we could do without.

How can I have contradicted myself when I haven’t made a single assertion? I’ve literally only been asking you to explain your statement.

Prove…anything, honestly. Prove that I called anyone bad (I didn’t, in any comment). Prove that there are mainstream leftists currently advocating for mass murder. Prove that you’re not just making up everything you’re saying based on “feels.” Grow up? I’m not the one pretending that my opinions are more important than the facts.

Prove it. But first, answer my question. Trying to divert the conversation won’t disguise the fact that you’re making false equivalences based upon nothing.

Indeed, but that’s step two after the other person realizes that they’re just saying “lol boths sidez samesies” with no basis for that opinion except enlightened centrism. (So never)

Who said that? I asked you to explain your position. I never said anyone was bad.

Non sequiturs are not answers to the question I asked. Biden is not left of Bernie or AOC.

Ok, two authoritarian leaders the modern left finds pretty abhorrent and regularly repudiates. You might as well say that Lincoln represents the modern right if you’re going that way.

You know what I meant. A modern, mainstream leftist—think Bernie or AOC, or leftwards—calling for mass murder or policies that would plainly result in mass murder.

Yep, I’m here. My nine-year-old is writing a wizard spellbook while the seven-, four-, and two-year-old play outside. Let’s do a weekly discussion post, sounds fun.

Show me any mainstream proof of your characterization of the far left viewpoint. At all.
