Successfully figured out the /usr/lib KDE autostart nonsense.
It turns out that not only does KDE chuck .desktop files in
/etc/xdg/autostart like everything else, but it also makes a
whole new autostart directory in ~/.kde4/share/autostart.
Full of identical files to the ones in /etc/xdg/autostart.
Ugh. Added management of those to the script and now Sway
isn't being stomped on when we use it, and the files are
restored and work when we use KDE. There's nothing that's
running without us wanting it to run now. Success! Next
step is telling Pacman to leave one group of those files
alone to make management easier (probably the /etc/xdg ones).
It absolutely dumped rain yesterday. There hasn't been that
much rain here for years. It was impressive, but I hope that
winter isn't like that. We're screwed if it snows like it just
rained.
We're doing okay. Kaz has been out much more recently, which
I don't mind as much as I would have expected myself to mind.
I think I'm just tired of forcing myself to do everything and
it's a welcome relief to share the load. They're one of the
people here I actually trust enough to handle life without
making us obvious to people who don't know and without being a
safety risk. Being social is a bit of a balancing act because
we can't be out everywhere, and it's hard to hide being someone
different than a person is used to seeing. And the skills and
preferences difference makes it challenging because if someone
is trying to get through our daily life without knowing the
needed skills, they're screwed.
I'm just tired right now for a lot of reasons related to who
I am. We're working on it.
