#gnome #linux #ubuntu #notes #tech
After upgrading to the latest LTS Ubuntu 20.04, I decided to stop using the old standard lightdm-gtk-greeter and give in to using Gnome's gdm3. But I don't like Ubuntu's default styles — in fact, I use a vanilla gnome-session entirely to avoid the purple flash you get on ubuntu-session.

A couple years back I was into the idea of Lana Del Rey's album “Ultraviolence” as a pirate-themed album. My family joked about a version called “Ultrapirates.”
Naturally I ended up writing some alternate lyrics. There's only two; I never got around to doing “Buccaneer Baby” (for “Brooklyn Baby”). Anyway, I figured I should put them online for posterity…
There's a new book out by David Graeber, and I haven't read it yet, but I'm dying to write about a review of it, whose sole criticism is stuck in my craw. I'm talking about Miranda Purves' Bloomberg review.
I imagine a lot of people identifying with her view, yet I find it deeply flawed and misguided.
