     @globalc I have XScreenSaver on my work desktop and it's fun to watch.

     @globalc jwz despises all other screensavers 😂

     "Gnome-screensaver was created in 2005 by people who thought it was a better idea to rewrite all of XScreenSaver from scratch instead of sending me patches for the changes they desired in XScreenSaver itself.

     [...more vitriol for Mate, Cinnamon and Unity...]

     The only way to securely lock your screen under X11 is to turn off gnome-screensaver, mate-screensaver, cinnamon-screensaver, etc. and use XScreenSaver instead."
