  • it’s funny but also frightening that younger generations’ slang follows a trend of being reduced to 3 or 4 letters. Delulu is an outlier at 6 whole letters, but you can see the mental laziness that resulted in it. These idiots are going to be in charge of a burning planet one day and won’t even be able to read the reports of the minds that came before them. It’s scary to imagine being alive when they’re in charge.



  • Can I offer a ChatGPT response? I don’t really understand this stuff but here you go:

    1. Install the plasma-workspace and breeze packages explicitly

    Run the following commands to ensure both the plasma-workspace and breeze packages are installed:

    bash

    sudo pacman -S plasma-workspace breeze

    This will reinstall the breeze theme files if they are missing. If breeze was not listed as a dependency of plasma-workspace, this might restore the theme.

    1. Manually install the sddm-breeze theme

    The sddm-breeze theme is often part of the breeze package, but if it’s still missing, you can reinstall it specifically:

    bash

    sudo pacman -S sddm-breeze

    If you’re using a distribution like Arch Linux that separates components, this package might not be installed by default.

    1. Verify the theme path

    After installation, confirm that the theme files exist in /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze.

    Use:

    bash

    ls /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze

    If the directory exists and contains files, proceed to the next step. If not, something is wrong with the installation.

    1. Set the Breeze theme in the SDDM configuration

    Once you have the breeze theme installed, set it as the SDDM theme. Edit the SDDM configuration file:

    bash

    sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

    Ensure the following line is present under the [Theme] section:

    ini

    [Theme]

    Current=breeze

    Save the file and restart SDDM:

    bash

    sudo systemctl restart sddm

    1. Rebuild SDDM Cache

    Sometimes, SDDM might not pick up the theme due to cache issues. Clear and rebuild it:

    bash

    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/sddm/.cache

    Restart SDDM after clearing the cache.

    1. Manually Download and Install the Breeze Theme

    If all else fails, manually download the Breeze theme files. The source code for Breeze themes is often available on KDE’s GitLab. Clone or download the repository and place it in /usr/share/sddm/themes:

    bash

    git clone https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze-sddm-theme.git

    sudo mv breeze-sddm-theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze

    Then, restart SDDM as before.


  • I think you’re giving the author too much credit here, they weren’t clear about what they meant. If they were trying to describe message encryption in general they should have used general terms, instead they chose to describe a specific message and then failed to identify which one. It muddles the conversation instead of adding clarity. I appreciate you trying to help me but I wasn’t really looking for an answer, I’m pointing out the bad quality of the article




  • Author:

    You then decrypt the message

    Me:

    Which message … ?

    You:

    The very next sentence says … the market uses PGP to encrypt communications

    meaning that the very next sentence does NOT specify which message the author was talking about. You should contact your educational facility and tell them to fund their English department, as it is passing students who fail basic literacy. Have a day.


  • When you create an account, you upload a public key that it uses to encrypt messages. You then decrypt the message with your private key:

    Which message is the author talking about in the second sentence?

    This feels like it was written by AI or something. There’s so much meaning obscured by generalities it’s an impossible read.
