i think this happens when there is an update pending and they decide you can no longer put it off. this is obnoxious in itself, but it used to be youd get an "update and shut down" option at least. maybe its just another casualty of letting LLMs loose on the codebase

first thing*

this happens to me sometimes and the first time i do after waking up is to spend some time reiterating that it was not real and my partner deserves absolutely no flack for it

very shaken up over things that didnt really happen. nice job brain

one problem with this laptop is the display has such a high pixel density that i can no longer use pixel-perfect ProFontIIx-7 in Emacs 😔 its too tiny

drawer has been successfully modded, now opens all the way 🥰

im really enjoying how snappy everything is. part of it is of course that im used to computers from 2012-2013 but also some stuff feels faster than on the M4 macbook pro at work

yep bsky.app/profile/pulu...

oh thats where the option is in the GUI. i thought ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc was the only way to disable it 😄

for some reason KDE leaks my media session metadata on the lock screen lol

COSMIC is nice but i am experiencing too many bugs*, moved to KDE for now to get stuff done

* some, possibly all, are fixed in newer versions than the one i have, so i will try nightlies or something once i have fewer other things to configure

ok heres what worked: alternate rubbing with a mixture of salt and nail polish remover (acetone + vegetable oil), and washing with soap and warm water. but it might be a really bad idea for thin/sensitive skin. in fact, consider skipping the whole glue-on-skin part to begin with

so far ive been editing configs on the new laptop via emacs on the old laptop because its just easier that way
