So when the site got "is under 18" yesterday and "is over 18" today, they now know your birthday. Cool.

Wayland does do lock screen: https://wayland.app/protocols/ext-session-lock-v1

The only thing I ever see jitter on scroll in Wayland is X11 applications. What is jittering on scroll for you?

Sounds like GNOME pisses you off. Try a window manager/compositor that is not designed by lunatics who think the OK/Cancel buttons should be at the top of the window when everything else reads left-to-right/top-to-bottom, and that every application should provide its own window decorations so every application looks wildly different. Maybe you would prefer https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/

Also, X11 is decades of half-baked garbage hacks piled on top of half-baked garbage. Wayland fixes real problems.

Reminds me of how we were dressed up as Pilgrims and Native Americans and taught that god blessed the pilgrims with this new land and they were welcomed with open arms and gifts of corn and turkeys.

If you are surprised by that most Americans want more rights for cars and trucks than for people you have not been paying attention.

I went shopping with my partner for a lamp. On the positive side, when store employees get chatty, my partner handles the smalltalk. On the negative side, I knew what I wanted the lamp to do; my partner had vague feelings about how they wanted the lamp to make them feel. We did not find a lamp that instilled the right feelings.

It was not a total loss, I bought a lamp for my work desk so I can see better for writing and soldering. And I got some poffertjes from a street vendor.

I replaced my KitchenAid with an Ankarsrum. No regrets.

Depends where. In America, human drivers are not held accountable for running over pedestrians, so I am not sure why a computer would be.

I do not understand why you seem so convinced that I voted for Jill Stein. I did not. I am well aware that she is terrible.

Are you suggesting that the Working Families candidate running for council of my small city is a Russian asset?

Are you suggesting that instead I must vote for the Democrat mayor who got busted for not actually living in the city when she admitted it when her ex-husband was busted for selling drugs out of the house that she claimed to live in (and where her children did live), and then got busted for campaign finance violations but was still allowed to run again?

Or the Democrat state senator who repeatedly defended sex offenders in the Senate?

Or the Democrat governor who gave a billion dollars of taxpayer money to out-of-state billionaires to build a new head-injury stadium (that the state would not own). And who tried to kill congestion pricing in NYC?

You and the vote-blue-no-matter-who people can fuck all the way off if you refuse to put good candidates.

Did you miss the part where my districts are so lopsided that it does not hurt the lesser of two evils if I vote for good?

There are other 3rd parties.
