Note: This post is for GNU/Linux experts only.  If you are just another
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.
