I couldn't find much information on this online, so I was wondering if anyone has any similar experience.

I have a machine with Void Linux installed, which uses Runit. I have installed greetd which works with agreety, but I'm trying to test out gtkgreet. Setting up greetd to run gtkgreet in cage gives me errors. Fair enough, I am certain I misconfigured something.

The issue is when I try to switch to a different terminal. Seems like the greetd from XBPS on runit wants to refresh every second once it fails. So until the config is rewritten to launch a command that works, it will constantly spam the same error messages.

Again, this would be okay, but when I switch to a different terminal, it seems to pull me back every time there's a new error message, which is every second, making it very difficult to login or do anything on those other terminals.

This is pretty disastrous and borderline locks me out of my computer, so I wanted to hear if this situation sounded familiar to anyone.

Edit: Seems there are two configurations for greeter sessions, the default_session and the initial_session. Putting the cage gtkgreet in the initial session, and not the default session, prevents the issue, because the initial_session only gets attempted once. This is still weird to me especially since the resources I was using suggested using cage gtkgreet under the default session.

I mean, the Middle East and Africa have even higher circumcision rates and it doesn't seem to be working out for them

Protein is an essential macronutrient. Life does not exist without protein. So yes, it is a health food.

This strikes me as a "you will own nothing and be happy" solution. Instead of paying workers a fair wage so they can put something into savings for a rainy day, you will be at the mercy of your employer for support.

This seems to be the trend. In the future, you will have most of your needs at least met, but not through your own means, because you will have no means whatsoever. You will not be able to take care of yourself without your corporation parent. This is a very coercive situation.

This might just be a me problem, but I don't like that they use the word toot in Mastodon.

When they chose that word, they probably were going for the sound an elephant makes with its trunk, because a mastodon is similar to an elephant. But I have always been aware that toot is another word for flatulence. So personally it makes me cringe.

You can imagine what it's like for me if you replace "toot" with "fart" on mastodon. Now everyone is talking about liking the best farts, sharing someone's fart, etc. I'm not suggesting they change it on my account, I just wanted to share and see if anyone else had the same problem.

Edit: Apparently they already did change the name
