THIS IS THE KINDA SHIT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Gnome files requested admin password, I didn't need to do the thing so I pressed cancel, the popup kept popping up immediately. After 10 cancellations it suddenly said my account is locked for10 minutes. I dropped to a tty and it's locked from there too! Great security but why did *cancelling* an admin password request trigger this?, and why was the password request unavoidably persistent??? The fuck programmed this

just a reminder if you use yay on arch, failed builds don't seem to clear themselves out! check your ~/.cache/yay for oversized folders :))

I so desperately want Linux to be my daily driver but every time I try to use it at my workplace, it fails on me. Today the failure was HDMI connection to the random TV in the classroom. The screen wouldn't stop flickering, totally unusable. My HDMI works perfectly with my monitor at home. And my HDMI works perfectly with this TV when I'm running Windows. How does a bug like this exist? For the fourth time in a row — for different reasons each time — my Linux laptop failed while teaching my class, due to unforeseeable issues. My laptop is from 2021, I think the GPU is 2019.
