Disable screen locking if external screen is connected (lemmy.ml)

I run Debian 12 with KDE on my laptop. It is set up, that it locks the screen after 10 mins of inactivity. And that is typically want I want. But some times I use it with an external screen like a TV over HDMI to watch some videos, and forget to overwrite the setting to not lock the screen.

Is there some way to not lock the screen when connected to an external screen (and preferably to AC) but resume the previous behavior if no HDMI connection is made?

few vectorizings and this duck could be one too

That was my though, too ^^ so I have done it, but lemmy does not let me upload svgs. And I cannot upload it to pixelfed. Does someone know a place to share svgs?

That's gotta be the cyberpunkiest thing I've read in a while.

I found this software a couple of days ago. Not sure if it will really help with your first problem 😆 because I'm still figuring it out myself. But looks promising. https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects

I did not get the hype for 'Don't Look Up'.

For me, one of the most memorable was, beating Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls for the first time solo. It was a great feeling of accomplishment, and I could see that I really mastered that game's combat.

Can you share which one you are using? I am looking for good ones.

And the classic.

Okay, something simple. Being annoyed that you forgot to rewind the video cassette the last time you watched a movie.

Okay this took me back a lot. The nostalgia hits hard.

I regularly donate to the pi-hole project. Turning a spare raspberry pi into a pihole was one of the best things I did with a pi.

Here a link to their donation page.

No panic spinrite or ddrescue will handle it.

The lower part of my screen is updated one frame earlier than the upper part. I was able to isolate the error to the HDMI output of my laptop. The screen or cable is not broken, as I don't get these errors with other connected devices. I am assuming it is some hardware defect. Does anyone know what it could be and how I could fix it? Here are a few pictures that show the problem: pixelfed
