Haha! Now if only the point of work was to make you happy! If research showed it made your boss wealthier then everyone would be WFH tomorrow!

When reddit announced that they were going public I knew the end was nigh. Money corrupts everything. What made reddit cool was the users and reddit just wanted to suck that dry. I was happy to leave but I pretty much just lurked on Reddit so it wasn't that hard.

Once Reddit announced they were going public I knew it was over. Money corrupts everything. I definitely spent (wasted) a lot of time on RIF.

Hadn't heard of that before. Thanks for the reference.

Canada would then be more US than Canadian at that point. US + Canada should keep United States of America name. The question is then what to call the other country. Kingdom of Christ? The 1950s?

Flip-flopping on states rights is conservative bread and butter. When conservatives control the federal government there is no such thing as state rights and when they don't it's federal overreach. This endless news cycle with these talking heads ceaselessly babbling is normalizing that words don't actually matter. Politicians will say the exact opposite thing with equal conviction.

Yes, I heard that but I think that there is almost always somewhere to move. My guess is that the police thought she didn't make that effort. Probably the police didn't make it very clear what they wanted before the escalated.

That's what I use too.

I set it up a while ago and don't have a good resource for setting it up now. Once I got it set up it has worked well. But like I said it seems fragile. When I upgraded fedora a couple of years ago it broke. I think it might have been the wayland transition. I switched from Nvidia to AMD. But I'm not sure that's necessary. My wife and I have two workstations on one computer. It works well until it breaks (if you want to live with end of life software it may not break). For whatever reason multiseat doesn't seem to be a mainstream feature. But I like it and have been using it for many years.

Loginctl is the tool you use to assign hardware to different seats. Also I'm not sure every login manager supports it. I used GDM.

The open source community feels like the ultimate right to repair environment. You're right, it feels very empowering and fulfilling. Totally opposite of the frustration of dealing with often intentionally unrepairable products.

I didn't author the patch. It just fixed my problem. I agree that I should comment on the patch (if I can again find where I saw it) and help get it pushed to the main branch. At least for my own selfish reasons so that I can just use the normal version of gnome-shell.

 

I've been a Linux user for almost 30 years but never had to tinker with any software to solve a problem. Cue a Fedora upgrade to somewhere around 38. I've been using the multiseat feature for years. It's alway seemed very fragile. With this upgrade it was seriously broken. I managed to find a patch someone made that for some reason wasn't accepted into the gnome-shell package. I was able to grab the patch, rebuild the RPM package and install the update to my system and restore multiseat. It was actually pretty effortless. The hardest part by far was finding the fix. Now updating to Fedora 41 I had to do the same process again. Apparently the problem still exists. This time I had to create a new patch as the original one wouldn't apply anymore but that wasn't very hard. It was very satisfying to be able to fix that problem and it was only possible due to the OSS community.
