C.S. Lewis wrote that every death in our lives is an ending not just to their life, but an end to the unique part of our own life that only happened when we interacted with them.
It’s natural to fear and mourn that ending.

This is great stuff.
My comment from the peanut gallery today is just that there’s no law that CI/CD can’t be kept under control and run in ten seconds.
Given the choice between a slow out of control CI/CD mess, or a shell script, I too will take the shell script every time.
But I am living my best life today, and have a simple shell script in my CI/CD pipeline.
Yeah. I could figure out how to make a PC do all that, but I would rather pay for a Steam console that does all of that for me out of the box.
Ooh. Nice.
Labyrinth is a world where wishes come true, especially sexually charged but confused ones.
So I think your logic is spot on.
Neat.
Incidentally, this is a perfect example, because the automotive industry ran a series of ad campaigns to change public sentiment after cars got more common and children and elderly citizens started dying in the streets.
Nintendo is working equally hard to change public sentiment against the innocent.

Shit. I didn’t think this through well enough. Can I change my answer to yours?
As a SteamDeck player, does this mean I can start saying I use Arch, by the way?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 face surgery scene mid-film to explain the change.
Yeah.
But at least the Christian evangelicals’ shareholders keep them so accountable to their core values that the desires of the mostly unorganized pastors leading the business owners have no meaningful say in the outcomes. (This is Sarcasm)
