The best joke is when you install Edge on your friends Linux computer when they are not looking and they lose their shit. Like a war vet when fireworks go off.

People still out here not locking their screens?

Installing programs without needing a password?

User level stuff wouldn't ordinarily need a password

I don't just automatically lock my screen unless there age little people around.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 month ago

I lock my screen when I'm home alone.

Only reason I don't is when my computer falls asleep the only way to wake it recently has been to reboot (pop OS)

Nvidia GPU? I have a similar problem on Bazzite, though mine never seems to enter proper suspend (fan lights still on etc.)

Yeah, looks like the latest dist upgrade actually fixed it for me. That or I just got lucky.

EDIT: wishful thinking

I haven't worked in the office in ages but I was good about hitting Windows + L to lock when I got up.

Gotta teach em to lock their rig when they're not using it somehow.

Though I'm still a fan of the 'take a screen shot of the desktop and then remove the actual dekstop' approach.

... hrm... it probably wouldn't be that hard to make a version of 'hollywood' thats augmented by something like a cron job that just checks to see if its open or not, and reopens it if it isnt.

... the matrix has you ...

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • ย 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
