Testacles (c. 512-476 BC) was a Greek philosopher who created delicate orbs that for some unfathomable reason were on the outside where people could hit them easily

@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

@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
