distro lackey then, please, fuck off.

Today, I invoked the Pan newsreader. It would not fucking scroll
with the mouse wheel. What the friggin' fuck?

Also, some other GUI programs would not scroll.

I've had this problem before, and, sure enough, it was libinput,
a product of GNOME/Freedesktop that was the fault.

Once again, those incompetent assholes changed their device numbers:

xinput list-props 8
...
libinput Send Events Modes Available (270): 1, 0
libinput Send Events Mode Enabled (271): 0, 0
libinput Send Events Mode Enabled Default (272): 0, 0
...

They changed the "Send Events Mode Enabled" from 269 to 271.

What the fuck for? Only those incompetent assholes will know.

In my X/FVWM3 boot I have to change it to:

xinput --set-prop 8 271 1 0

Why no fucking advanced notice? Only those incompetent assholes will know.

GNOME/Freedesktop are the scourge of GNU/Linux. Those bastards are
just as bad as SYSTEMD -- and that's bad!

But the stupified distro lackey won't even bat an eye. These useless
creeps will just use their Ubuntu/Mint/Whatever without an inkling
into the degeneration wrought by these incompetent assholes.

"Distro lackeys" are just trying to get the most out of a modern
machine, dummy. LFS/Gentoo don't really offer that, unless one takes
some initiative to assemble it. You have failed, miserably, to do
anything approaching that.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

Rather than using the numbers, use the string
constants -- they are less likely to change.

Good to know, thanks. If only the monitor id's would stop changing..
