Sam the Octopus @troubleMoney@computerfairi.es

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social of course not, that would be the sensible thing to do

@candle they have since added a little tiny bit in the /about/more section saying they're doing it and (according to them) it's optional to turn it on

@candle mastodon.host

Embedded a cryptocurrency miner into all the pages without telling anyone

@Rubbaduxx@mastodon.social sort of

except this contributes nothing to society and instead uses the computing resources to make money for someone

@woozle Hello I am VC company, I would like to throw an obscene amount of money at this thing I don't understand

@gcupc@glitch.social we all know squirrels are undefeatable

@chosafine@instance.business either that or just ask for a couple of donations, everyone here knows servers cost money, most of us are happy about chipping in a bit

@squirrel hey, no worries, this instance is more than worth it

@squirrel cool, there we go, that should help a bit

speaking of funding instances, @squirrel, what's the best way for me to chuck you some money to help with the server costs here?

I... Uh... What?

mastodon.host crypto mining in the browser?

@squirrel I have no idea why it's doing that, but setting the wallpaper manually will make it put that wallpaper there

@squirrel from what I can tell xubuntu uses lightdm gtk greeter as default

If you want to set the wallpaper manually on that the setting's in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

It's the "background" variable in the [greeter] section

Not sure if that'd actually help, but might be worth a try

@squirrel yes, this is indeed needlessly complicated

@squirrel ah, lightdm is the bit that does display managing, the greeter is the bit that pops up and actually asks you for the username and password

wallpapers are handled by the greeter, so if you changed that you might need to set the wallpaper
