Ok, so installing plasma-x11-session brought back the ability to pick X11 at the login screen. Change with Plasma 6.4 requires manual install.

What is odd though is choosing the wayland session works fine now after I installed the plasma-x11-session.

There must be some dependency I guess. Or its just going to randomly break again.

Again had to revert back to my timeshift prior to #archlinux #kde #sddm updates. I'm not entirely sure what happens but after I log in, I get a black screen with a cursor and then back to the login screen. If I open a tty session and restart SDDM it all seems to be fine again.

I also don't like the fact that after the updates (sddm-kcm, kwin, plasma 6.4.1), I could no longer choose x11 on the login screen. It always works fine in X11. Maybe its a wayland thing.

Maybe I need to switch to gnome or something else. I don't know linux enough to understand how it would break like this.

Seems to be ok with KDE 6.3.5.

That's twice now that an update to #archlinux or its default breeze theme or related package broke my ability to log in. This time it appears to do with the default breeze splash screen. Changing to none got around the issue.

I learned my lesson last time though and installed timeshift and use it before I do updates. It was easy to revert back.

This one was odd in the fact that it was broken for wayland but not x11.

I miss the days where the weekend was only consumed by zero days and analyzing how they could affect my clients.

Why do all the Microsoft products constantly tell me about new things like shortcuts and features and settings and do it repeatedly for the same thing? Can that be turned off? My linux box doesn't do that but I can't use that for work due to policies. #windoes11 #microsoft #linux

Putting this out there for whatever good it does.

#Email #Spam folders are a problem because they contain a mix of emails that are clearly spoofed and faked based on #SPF and #DKIM failures, along with others that maybe might, perhaps, be spam based on HTML content, language, whatever. We train people to expect Spam folders are usually wrong. But emails that fail SPF and DKIM should be taken seriously!

Email providers. Why not deal with this by either providing 2 SPAM folders or else showing emails that land in the spam folder because of the #DMARC p=quarantine policy, in red, bold letters, and with a "!!" flag, so people know to be extra cautious?

And when opened, give notices like the sending server is not authorized to send email for the sender or the from address is not authorized to be sent by the sending server.

Why not?
