  • Yeah you’re missing the point that the mind blown is just ironic.

    The entire point here was to demonstrate that the “security” features of these DEs are not implemented by the DE but by the underlying components such as PAM, and you can just ignore the DE until you have the basics fixed.

    What’s the point in having a super duper secure login screen if I can bypass it by booting from a USB stick for example.



  • What the duck has this to do with anything.

    The entire point is that your DE has NO security features at all, those come ALL from the underlying system such as PAM for example, managing the authentication and such.

    These stupid strawmans “huhr dur watch a video”

    Besides that I’ll just answer the straw man argument anyway because it’s even stupid if you take it seriously YES YOU CAN ACTUALLY LAUNCH GUI (such as a game) DIRECTLY FROM TTY.

    And I quote

    LoL

    It’s a risk reward analysis and not strictly a 1:1 hour pay relation. No one guarantees you any positive outcome here.

    Best case I get the fee removed after a short conversation.

    Worst case, I have to engage in a long drawn argument still having to pay full afterwards.

    Or anything in between, such as still having to pay full, but they’ll make this clearer in their menu.

    best case was a simple mistake and I just have to ask politely. This can be considered very unlikely in this case because the recipient has a dedicated section for the fee, indicating that they’re not going to make any change to the bill. So the risk reward is highly leaning towards the worst case as the expected outcome.
