That’s a sell cue, for any shareholders reading along.

Oh. This is seriously cool. Thank you.
Ubuntu was a big part of my path to full time Linux use. I adore everyone who has contributed to Ubuntu.
But also, Snaps are bullshit, and are why I replaced all my Ubuntu installs with Debian.
Canonical doesn’t get to pretend to be surprised by the backlash for pushing an unnecessary closed proprietary platform on their freedom seeking users.
I still adore everyone at Canonical and in the Ubuntu community, for all they’ve done for the Linux community. Y’all still rock. Thanks!
Real world experience can help, but what we have now is also too stupid to recognize when it’s succeeding or failing. It just greedily gobbles up inputs and feedback indiscriminately.
There’s currently no way to know if the necessary advancement, to advance independently of humans, is 2 years or 2000 years away.
Even so, nature tells us that advancement probably isn’t coming at all. It’s not needed, so long as there are billions of humans available to partner with.
Yeah. That’s the difference people don’t seem to understand.
AI is perfect for stuff that’s just made up bullshit anyway.
Makes sense. Google has been replacing skilled engineers with tail-eating AI regurgitation engines, which are getting progressively worse as they eat their own shit.
But I’ve been told those regurgitation engines are about to get really smart and replace all skilled labor.
So maybe it’ll be fine.
Or maybe, as we’ve already started to see, more and more useful stuff will only be available via the Internet wayback machine, until they kill it.
But what if someone else’s government creates the Torment Nexus before ours can?!
thanks for your help.
Sure thing. Feel free to keep us updated. I hate to see anyone have to use Windows longer than they want to.
The arbitrary standard for the censorship in Fediverse is extremely bad.
“The pirates code… Be more like… guidelines.”
Yeah. It’s not hardware, then.
I would try searching “black screen <bios version>” with any name and version number you can figure out about your bios, next.
If you can get it back to booting from install media, I would do a full reinstall.
There’s recovery layers (such as grub shell) that ought to kick in if this was just a display config issue, so I’m thinking corrupted install files is more likely.
Also, do a careful check through your various BIOS settings - search each one with “Debian 12 <setting name>”, to find out if they work with Debian 12, or need adjusted. Debian 12 supports most boot security features, that I have encountered, but I believe there’s still a couple out there that have to be turned off.
I suspect your next practical goal will be to get the (presumably failed) bootloader install replaced.
Edit: Tried to add a lot of specific thoughts as search term leads.
- Don’t truncate passwords for verification.
It needed to be said. Because some password system architects have been just that stupid.
Edit: Fear of other’s stupidity is the mind killer. I will face my fear. My fear will wash over me, and when it has passed, only I will remain. Or I’ll be dead in a car accident caused by an AI driver.
So the good news is you’re probably not bricked.
I’ve had similar, and had to work through getting my bios into the right state to get the screen to load, and then escaping grub into a grub recovery shell to debug.
Edit: Do you have access to an alternate/external monitor? I would want to try another monitor, just to rule out a hardware failure, too.
True!
I take comfort that if my kid can figure out setting up their own VPN or DNS, then I’m sure they’ll earn enough later to support their porn habit.
I’m actually a beautiful woman. They will both have to agree to substantial surgeries before they agree to play me.
David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, with a made-up have surgery scene mid-film to explain the change.
Earth, obviously. Or rather, where we think we left it…
Google’s antitrust drama is just a popcorn side show to me.
A sideshow we’re both paying for, though. Ugh.
But you’ve got the right track. I can’t personally fix their monopoly, but I can block their bullshit from teaching my devices.
Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.
Yeah. I think that’s happening now. The public will discover the Fediverse, but I’m not sure if they’ll be welcomed into every community here.
History tells us there’s also a release valve of a swift brick to the side of the head, one brick per billionaire.
It sounds messier than paying taxes, to me. But I’m not a billionaire, so I can’t say I understand their motives.
Shit. I didn’t think this through well enough. Can I change my answer to yours?
