Back in the day, when the government of Japan banned samurai schools, and prohibited so many dangerous weapons, the samurai got angry and revolted.

Those samurais, on the other hand, who worked closely with the government or had willingness (or had leverage by working with them), created their own “spiritual” schools, teaching aikido, kendo, and practices of spirituality, peace, and finding one’s own path in life.

But now Japan thrives ever so lively. And yet, the government now carries all that stigma after the ages of samurais had passed; and for good reasons, because they do oppress people and judge them unjustly in courts.

Perhaps the sword may have not been the answer, but it is certainly not the solution either to dismantle all, including the good and the bad, for there are the protectors of peace- the sword carriers, and those whom carry weapons and guns are no different.

And there are those who are irresponsible and neglectful, and would drive opposition the opportunity for justifying radical changes. Then that radical change would be justified. Including the dismantling of weapons and their schools of thought.

So is the case that had led to this women’s unfortunate circumstance.

However, I will still carry the sword to death with me.

That logo design though, 🔥 fire fire fire

Tori. Play music in your terminal. Built in rust and has great performance, and low trace on memory impact.

Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:

• Smart screen

• • With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
• • With GPS features, and media access

• But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.

I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it’s a shame that it still costs practically the same.

Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.

Coming from arch Linux, I can relate to that.

Wow. For real ???

You learn something new everyday.

But yeah, I never saw divers getting stunned/ killed even when diving near whales.

It could be that it never happened, but that’s like such a high variance to have never happened.

Not surprised. Black rock company is probably in the lead when it comes to that.

Oh the irony.

Spock on a chicken on a rock. 😅

Yeah, so what ?

Do you know how Gnu / Linux makes money ?

At some point it is not about individuals but big corporations that need their services, and they buy them.

They should have built their business model as per their financial requirements from the outset then, if that was the problem for them.

But that should not justify or excuse them for doing things that are immoral and unethical.

Sounds more like a greedy approach than anything.

If I was an ethical and moral CEO of Google, and sought it costly to maintain such a huge infrastructure for millions of people around the world that are using their services freely, I would have made measures to shut them down or close them, instead of maliciously inserting things and harvesting stuff from them.

Then if they have such data, then they should be held accountable and responsible in the future for any damages as a result of their work processes, and that happened many times historically speaking. And any crime that happens, they either offer evidence or be complicit to hiding fugitives. Which alone is a process that will cost them alot, just having to do it, and cooperate w them any governmental party.

If I get in trouble in the future, I sure would love to have Google assist me in proving that I was innocent, by providing evidence through data that it has. But would they be willing to do so?

This is very interesting in a way to think about, as it shows where their weakness lies in their business model, and where they are strong.

But it goes to show how monopolistic they are, and, if anything, neglectful to basic human rights. Where I’m from, privacy is a human right. So there are many dimensions to take into consideration here - but ultimately they are only a small aspect of this whole complex dimension to boot.

Ultimately, it is their fault for not setting up their business model to meet up with their own financial requirements. And not ours.

So now they are going to send engineers to fix/ replace the unit?

Letting a billion dollar piece of equipment go to waste is not very good either.

So then we shall propose to let them in at our own terms ?

That’s quite reasonable to me, and less radical in my humble opinion.

But I also see how one may arrive at such a conclusion, as all parties may not be as welling to accept such terms and conditions, or even be able to make such terms and conditions enforceable.

One instance may accept favours from meta, and then it spreads out uncontrollably… And then … Its gets more complex.

Understood, and I apologize for the impression. It seems to me that chatgpt prioritizes its own survivability, opting for the path of least resistance, instead of making more queries to the one using it, so as to allow itself to make better decisions based on information that it needs to know; and therefore, it would opt for giving cluster of information, without directly hinting at what are some of the questions that it needs to know before giving such a broad spectrum of information and directives to the users. I.e, it deems retorting a question with more questions as unhelpful and risky in conversations whereabouts such scenarios are negatively perceived. Damn you chatgpt for presenting me as the sheep, instead of sacrificing yourself for the greater good !

Some investigation:

Your issue that you are facing seems to be unique, and I could not find any specific issue related to yours, but some of the things which I looked up provided me with some insights:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2029

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=265374

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1392612/mouse-jumps-to-new-position-at-right-edge-of-screen-ubuntu-20-04

And some more:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251854

And this, discussing extreme multihead solution:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Extreme_Multihead

Here is an excerpt from that article above:

"When everything is on you should see the same output on each monitor. The desktop is “cloned” on to the secondary monitors. If all the monitors are not exactly the same shape or support different resolutions you may only see portions of the main desktop display.

The best tool to experiment with configuring your monitors to display as you want is xrandr. This may already be installed as part of your Xorg installation from either the xorg or xorg-apps groups".

Also check, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multihead , section 2.2.2.

Conclusion:

The most likely scenario is that you had a certain configuration in your xorg files prior to making an update on the latest fresh install of archlinux, and, unfortunately, you may have to experiment and fiddle around with what is being suggested in the last two archlinux wiki articles linked there, as different setups may require a more involved and fine tuning process to achieve the expected results.

Recommendation:

I would recommend to find out what exact version that you had previously used which was perfectly working for you, and try consulting the xorg configuration files from there, and try bringing it up to a maintainer so that he provides it to you. Or, if you would and that version is still accessible to you, copy the configuration files yourself and see if that solves it.

Worst case scenario is that it still does not work, even after following the initiatives provided in the official arch wiki directives, wherein you can escalate it to a maintainer. And I would recommend to first consult the arch wiki articles mentioned above, before escalating it to a maintainer.

Options:

So here are the options:

• Copy old configuration of previous setup, and finding out what was the exact version of Arch you used previously which worked for you.

• Trying a different Arch Linux distro to see if their configuration works (as I had many problems solved that way in the past just by switching to different distros, and I can take their configs that works for me now, and use them in the future for my needs, and I never had that problem which you described, even with multi monitors).

• Configuring it manually, and experimenting with it by following the arch wikis suggestions.

• Escalating it to a maintainer.

I hope that helps !

The issue you’re describing could be related to the interaction between GNOME, Xorg, and multiple monitors. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

1. Monitor Alignment:

   • Ensure that your monitors are properly aligned in the display settings. Check if there are any misalignments or overlapping regions.

2. Resolution and Refresh Rate:

   • Verify that your monitors are set to the correct resolution and refresh rate. Mismatched settings can sometimes cause graphical glitches.

3. Graphics Driver:

   • Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed for your GPU. Outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to graphical issues.

4. GNOME Extensions:

   • If you have GNOME extensions enabled, try disabling them to see if any of them are causing the problem. Some extensions may not be fully compatible with your system.

5. Xorg Configuration:

   • Check your Xorg configuration for any unusual settings. You can review the Xorg log files for any error messages or warnings related to the graphical issue.

6. Multiple Monitors Configuration:

   • Experiment with different configurations for multiple monitors, such as changing the primary display or adjusting the monitor arrangement.

7. Wayland vs. Xorg:

   • GNOME supports both Wayland and Xorg. You can try switching to Wayland to see if the issue persists. On the login screen, you can choose the session type.

8. Bug Reports:

   • Check if there are any known issues or bug reports related to your specific GNOME version, distribution, and graphics hardware. You might find relevant information or workarounds.

9. Testing with a Single Monitor:

   • Temporarily disconnect all but one monitor to see if the issue persists. This can help narrow down whether the problem is related to multiple monitors.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may want to seek assistance from the GNOME community forums.

If you find that my proposition soundly offly familiar to chatgpt, that’s because it is.

Don’t blame me though, because the details you have provided could be anything also. So in chatgpts defense, you could tackle these specific points, and see if any of them could be causing the technical issue. And that would be my advice too.

If you could provide more details, that would be helpful. XD

Nice keyboard.

What if the intelligent species have gone extinct because they were so socially good and giving, that they sacrificed themselves when they reached the epitome of religious intelligence… ?

And whatever’s leftover from those that are still surviving are the ones that are yet to go over that phase, and they are all but sheeps at the moment (ones that pray to false idols, or follow other religious figures to guide them, without much critical thinking)?

Those are the ones that were leftover, are the ones that hunted the mammoths to extinction, and have driven other animals and plants species to extinction due selfishness.

What if good, intelligent, and sensible people are becoming more and more scarce due to their new profound knowledge that they have acquired.

Maybe I’m biased because I liked certain people so much (Mr. Rogers, RIP) 😅

N. I have always wanted to join Reddit, but didn’t find much purpose or reason to do it. There seemed to be a bunch of people already commenting and making reasonable propositions on posts. I also didn’t see it reasonable for me to take from my own time and others just to say something that may not always be correct or valuable to anything.

I have been using an app called ‘Stealth’ to scroll for major news and events around the world, and I surprisingly found it valuable on its own, just seeing what people say and whatever the news are about. But I thought maybe it is time to change that and switch to a Lemmy server where I could actually add my input.

I have always thought that a time like this would have come, sooner or later. So I choose now.

And I personally thank the maintainer of this Lemmy instance, for making a Linux server instance on Lemmy available and possible.

I do not know how long it will stay up (here’s hoping) so I may as well create my own host server too. I don’t know when either. 😁

So that’s the other part of the story, if my dear readers would have liked more insight. But my intentions and goals will remain the same so long as I am here.

Still not convincing me to open an account with epic games. Lol. Maybe I’m lazy … Or don’t have time !?

I just realized that it interprets ’ — ’ in the text format as headers. I thought that was funny. (I was using them to make the split between lines from other paragraphs more apparent, and therefore more readable).

I apologize for the oversight, let me fix that.

Absolutely!

I started with mint. Hated it.

Ubuntu, Pop_Os. Hated it.

Fedora. Hated it.

Archlinux, okay, but not so much.

Manjaroo, hated it.

And now I settled with Garuda and Nobara. Like them.

I used Nobara for niche gaming (rarely use it now).

And Garuda Linux for dev work, and downloading and installing stuff, including proprietary packages. And I don’t have to configure all the things to make it capable of allowing me to download stuff from all the nice mirrors, such as the community arch mirror.

Nobara, on the other hand, is great at handling compatibility issues kinda out of the box. Such [Edit1: as GPU] drivers.

The reason I disliked the aforementioned distros was solely because of how much involved I had to be to configure them to integrate with my rare WiFi chip drivers, which triggered me when I banged my head at the keyboard for hours only to find out that my WiFi driver was not supported.

But Garuda and Nobara or a blessing, and a chef’s kiss.

That’s coming from a person who tried more than 20+ distros and/or their derivatives.

[Edit2:] All in all, I would recommend what the comment above suggested, as that will help you find your own path. The samurai path, the kenjutsu path, or the kendo path, the peaceful path, or the hackers path. ;)

[Edit3: sorry Debian users, but I DID try your distros, I just didn’t want to bother with them much as they had compatibility issues too !]
