So then we shall propose to let them in at our own terms ?

That's quite reasonable to me, and less radical in my humble opinion.

But I also see how one may arrive at such a conclusion, as all parties may not be as welling to accept such terms and conditions, or even be able to make such terms and conditions enforceable.

One instance may accept favours from meta, and then it spreads out uncontrollably... And then ... Its gets more complex.

Perhaps the safest option is to limit their present shares to a maximum of 40% in our servers. That is, they cannot be allowed to have more than a set amount of API exposure to the feeds - and they must allow us to reciprocate, like wise, by being able to have access to theirs by more than 40%. The value of assets can surely be established and estimated par costs of maintenance and OA, etc...

Think defund, and reallocation of resources.

Understood, and I apologize for the impression. It seems to me that chatgpt prioritizes its own survivability, opting for the path of least resistance, instead of making more queries to the one using it, so as to allow itself to make better decisions based on information that it needs to know; and therefore, it would opt for giving cluster of information, without directly hinting at what are some of the questions that it needs to know before giving such a broad spectrum of information and directives to the users. I.e, it deems retorting a question with more questions as unhelpful and risky in conversations whereabouts such scenarios are negatively perceived. Damn you chatgpt for presenting me as the sheep, instead of sacrificing yourself for the greater good !

Some investigation:

Your issue that you are facing seems to be unique, and I could not find any specific issue related to yours, but some of the things which I looked up provided me with some insights:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2029

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=265374

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1392612/mouse-jumps-to-new-position-at-right-edge-of-screen-ubuntu-20-04

And some more:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251854

And this, discussing extreme multihead solution:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Extreme_Multihead

Here is an excerpt from that article above:

"When everything is on you should see the same output on each monitor. The desktop is "cloned" on to the secondary monitors. If all the monitors are not exactly the same shape or support different resolutions you may only see portions of the main desktop display.

The best tool to experiment with configuring your monitors to display as you want is xrandr. This may already be installed as part of your Xorg installation from either the xorg or xorg-apps groups".

Also check, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multihead , section 2.2.2.

Conclusion:

The most likely scenario is that you had a certain configuration in your xorg files prior to making an update on the latest fresh install of archlinux, and, unfortunately, you may have to experiment and fiddle around with what is being suggested in the last two archlinux wiki articles linked there, as different setups may require a more involved and fine tuning process to achieve the expected results.

Recommendation:

I would recommend to find out what exact version that you had previously used which was perfectly working for you, and try consulting the xorg configuration files from there, and try bringing it up to a maintainer so that he provides it to you. Or, if you would and that version is still accessible to you, copy the configuration files yourself and see if that solves it.

Worst case scenario is that it still does not work, even after following the initiatives provided in the official arch wiki directives, wherein you can escalate it to a maintainer. And I would recommend to first consult the arch wiki articles mentioned above, before escalating it to a maintainer.

Options:

So here are the options:

• Copy old configuration of previous setup, and finding out what was the exact version of Arch you used previously which worked for you.
• Trying a different Arch Linux distro to see if their configuration works (as I had many problems solved that way in the past just by switching to different distros, and I can take their configs that works for me now, and use them in the future for my needs, and I never had that problem which you described, even with multi monitors).
• Configuring it manually, and experimenting with it by following the arch wikis suggestions.
• Escalating it to a maintainer.

I hope that helps !

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insights. Your perspective adds depth to the discussion, and I find your analysis intriguing. It has given me valuable insights.

And it's great that we align on this matter. I value the exchange of ideas, and it's reassuring to find common ground in our views.

Who knows what new understandings we might uncover in the future ?

When I read the news I had conflicting emotions of pity but also understanding for his behaviour, in a manner of speaking (hence my initial comment, and my stance in disbelief). "What if he's only a single piece of pieces that are being moved around by various factors ?", including his environment. For instance, if his post immediate environment is presenting a supportive attitude towards ALL Palestinians, that could actually be wrongly perceived.

Exuding highly reactive aggressive behaviour is often correlated with high levels of neuroticism and emotional factors at play, from my understanding.

Here is an interesting excerpt from psychologist expert, Arlin Cunic, "A smaller-scale study found that after viewing unpleasant images, people rating higher in neuroticism had lower oxygen levels in their lateral prefrontal cortex than those with lower neuroticism ratings..", https://www.verywellmind.com/how-neuroticism-affects-your-behavior-4782188

I have come across these concepts before from documentaries and vast inputs, but your insights has driven me to do a brief research about it; specifically about neuroticism. Quite fascinating.

It is indeed of most import to address these complex cases, without having to leave them at the wits of those who prefer idleness.

The issue you're describing could be related to the interaction between GNOME, Xorg, and multiple monitors. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

1. Monitor Alignment:
   • Ensure that your monitors are properly aligned in the display settings. Check if there are any misalignments or overlapping regions.
2. Resolution and Refresh Rate:
   • Verify that your monitors are set to the correct resolution and refresh rate. Mismatched settings can sometimes cause graphical glitches.
3. Graphics Driver:
   • Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed for your GPU. Outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to graphical issues.
4. GNOME Extensions:
   • If you have GNOME extensions enabled, try disabling them to see if any of them are causing the problem. Some extensions may not be fully compatible with your system.
5. Xorg Configuration:
   • Check your Xorg configuration for any unusual settings. You can review the Xorg log files for any error messages or warnings related to the graphical issue.
6. Multiple Monitors Configuration:
   • Experiment with different configurations for multiple monitors, such as changing the primary display or adjusting the monitor arrangement.
7. Wayland vs. Xorg:
   • GNOME supports both Wayland and Xorg. You can try switching to Wayland to see if the issue persists. On the login screen, you can choose the session type.
8. Bug Reports:
   • Check if there are any known issues or bug reports related to your specific GNOME version, distribution, and graphics hardware. You might find relevant information or workarounds.
9. Testing with a Single Monitor:
   • Temporarily disconnect all but one monitor to see if the issue persists. This can help narrow down whether the problem is related to multiple monitors.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may want to seek assistance from the GNOME community forums.

If you find that my proposition soundly offly familiar to chatgpt, that's because it is.

Don't blame me though, because the details you have provided could be anything also. So in chatgpts defense, you could tackle these specific points, and see if any of them could be causing the technical issue. And that would be my advice too.

If you could provide more details, that would be helpful. XD

Nice keyboard.

What if the intelligent species have gone extinct because they were so socially good and giving, that they sacrificed themselves when they reached the epitome of religious intelligence.... ?

And whatever's leftover from those that are still surviving are the ones that are yet to go over that phase, and they are all but sheeps at the moment (ones that pray to false idols, or follow other religious figures to guide them, without much critical thinking)?

Those are the ones that were leftover, are the ones that hunted the mammoths to extinction, and have driven other animals and plants species to extinction due selfishness.

What if good, intelligent, and sensible people are becoming more and more scarce due to their new profound knowledge that they have acquired.

Maybe I'm biased because I liked certain people so much (Mr. Rogers, RIP) 😅

N. I have always wanted to join Reddit, but didn't find much purpose or reason to do it. There seemed to be a bunch of people already commenting and making reasonable propositions on posts. I also didn't see it reasonable for me to take from my own time and others just to say something that may not always be correct or valuable to anything.

I have been using an app called 'Stealth' to scroll for major news and events around the world, and I surprisingly found it valuable on its own, just seeing what people say and whatever the news are about. But I thought maybe it is time to change that and switch to a Lemmy server where I could actually add my input.

I have always thought that a time like this would have come, sooner or later. So I choose now.

And I personally thank the maintainer of this Lemmy instance, for making a Linux server instance on Lemmy available and possible.

I do not know how long it will stay up (here's hoping) so I may as well create my own host server too. I don't know when either. 😁

So that's the other part of the story, if my dear readers would have liked more insight. But my intentions and goals will remain the same so long as I am here.

Still not convincing me to open an account with epic games. Lol. Maybe I'm lazy ... Or don't have time !?

I just realized that it interprets ' --- ' in the text format as headers. I thought that was funny. (I was using them to make the split between lines from other paragraphs more apparent, and therefore more readable).

I apologize for the oversight, let me fix that.

Absolutely!

I started with mint. Hated it.

Ubuntu, Pop_Os. Hated it.

Fedora. Hated it.

Archlinux, okay, but not so much.

Manjaroo, hated it.

And now I settled with Garuda and Nobara. Like them.

I used Nobara for niche gaming (rarely use it now).

And Garuda Linux for dev work, and downloading and installing stuff, including proprietary packages. And I don't have to configure all the things to make it capable of allowing me to download stuff from all the nice mirrors, such as the community arch mirror.

Nobara, on the other hand, is great at handling compatibility issues kinda out of the box. Such [Edit1: as GPU] drivers.

The reason I disliked the aforementioned distros was solely because of how much involved I had to be to configure them to integrate with my rare WiFi chip drivers, which triggered me when I banged my head at the keyboard for hours only to find out that my WiFi driver was not supported.

But Garuda and Nobara or a blessing, and a chef's kiss.

That's coming from a person who tried more than 20+ distros and/or their derivatives.

[Edit2:] All in all, I would recommend what the comment above suggested, as that will help you find your own path. The samurai path, the kenjutsu path, or the kendo path, the peaceful path, or the hackers path. ;)

[Edit3: sorry Debian users, but I DID try your distros, I just didn't want to bother with them much as they had compatibility issues too !]

There are teachings I have read/ discovered through YouTube (can't remember exactly where) about the reasons and the philosophy behind moving to docker, or having it as a state machine.

Have you considered looking into dockers alternatives, also ?

Here is 1 of the sources that may give you insights:

https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/docker-alternatives/

-- There has been some concerns over docker's licensing and, as such, some people have started preferring solutions such as podman and containerd.

Both are good in terms of compatibility and usability, however I have not used them extensively.

Nonetheless, I am currently using docker for my own hyperserver [Edit2: oops, I meant hypervisor ✓, not hyperserver] purposes. And I am also a little concerned about the future of docker, and would consider changing sometime in the future.

[Edit1: I am using docker because it is easy to make custom machines, with all files configurations, and deploy them that way. It is a time saver. But performance wise, I would not recommend it for major machines that contain major machine processes and services. And that's just the gist of it].

It seems to me that he's getting the perception that the status quo now normalizes with the things that Hamas has done, in light of the Palestinian protesters around the world.

I would not comment on this, however, as I am not legible enough to know whether his characteristics are of psychiatric disorders or high levels of neuroticism. I cannot fully judge this person, as I am not to claim that I was present in his environment where this happened. [Edit: (see next posts in the comments, as I have arrived at a different conclusion)]

I can tell, however, he may be triggered, but he's not the triggerman.

And yes, put that man in a ward or with a therapist.

It seems to me that the traditional way of having leaders going to war directly has slowly diminished and vanished from being how the way of things are supposed to be.

(My speculation)

And I speculate that one of the contributing factors which helped in changing people's mindset and perspective, in normalizing with the cultural and traditions changes, is the fact that people of old time (whom long lived in these similar environment) [Edit: were able to get] used to accepting the benefits and the joys of having appointed such leaders, regardless of the drawbacks that comes with it - and the fact that they are corrupt.

It is a really interesting point to raise up, especially in today's age.

And maybe, then, the more important question becomes: "How/ why did people normalize their perceptions and mindsets towards such leaders, despite their anticipated character changes became worse than their precedents".

(Some justification)

It is really interesting, because historically, we have stories of figures (Such as Al-Shimr, the murderer of Imam Hussain) whom were known to have been cowardly, but were presenting themselves nonetheless, due to the fact that people sought the opposing leader was one with more qualities than theirs; and as such, if one leader becomes of the type that is confrontational and upfront in battles; the opposing leader, due to the pressures of his own people, perceptions, and environment, deems it necessary and more appropriate to come forth to present himself as one with better and more fitting qualities that makes him more qualified to be a leader than the enemy.

(It is certainly an interesting topic to discuss, research, and think about. And one might even write a respectable book about it, were there to be someone who writes a book about it.)

*Edit2:

• How did the changes in perception happen ?

(How was it that people's perceptions towards the current leader were inherited from people that appointed them long before their ages; i.e their ancestors that sought such leaders with presented qualities are more qualifying than others, whom, at some point, when they casted away the ones of their own that had stepped down into the battlefields with such better leadership qualities presented ?)

• When did it happen (at what point exactly in history did it specifically happen, that their perceptions changed so much that they normalized with cowardly leaders) ?
• Why has it not changed ?
• And what would cause it to change ?

I edited the original post because I thought some points would have been better articulated in expressing myself, now that I took a look at it a second time. It's only paraphrasing changes and minor grammatical details, however. I assure you.
