meanwhile I just want to go back to blank/black lockscreen with no visual cues and you just type the password and nothing happens of it’s wrong, but I’ve been quite sick of trying to look up how to do forgotten things I had on older systems only to get AI slop guides that ramble on with a hallucinated life story and either never getting to the point of just not working.

I wish no visuals could just be a setting on all distros

wait where does that get overridden? its going back a few years but when I was trying blender I used middle click paste and I don’t think I had any issues with it affecting whatever middle click does by default in blender

This is one of those things that sounds impossible but then I’ve also seen when someone I know used social engineering to get a malicious build of a free video game on to the laptop of someone else I know to delete all his files remotely and for some reason it actually overheated uncontrollably and melted. I didn’t believe that either until I went with him to get security footage from the university for the warranty claim.

That was early windows xp era though. I’d really like to believe a damned filesystem driver cand cause that kind of damage, please for the love of dog…
