It could be a hardware issue. I’ve found that if the screen drivers fail it usually switches to a text console or reboots into one. Assuming you have a laptop, does wiggling the screen make any difference. If its a desktop, try wiggling the power connector or video cable (both ends) and along the cables, sometimes stress can break the wires in the cables if they go around a bend.

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC are all pretty solid.

Heh no. All of those are being automated and dumbed down.

In a few years all you’ll need is an unskilled labourer and a robot.

The MacIntosh did not have an eject button famously.

I think the term “The Nethetlands” was coined after the Reformation and Counter-Reformation when the northern provinces ,which became Lutheran, separated from the southern provinces which remained Roman Catholic.

The country was usually referred as “Holland” (a northern province) before then.

America was originally just the name of South America, then the English lazily coined the term “North America”.

Why are you using multiple partitions ?

Linux is not like Windows where you can run programs on any partition or inserted media ; you can only run executables on the primary boot partition. Its therefore pointless IMO to have more than one partition (plus a swap partition).

Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Gemini ?

This is what Bing said :

Fixing “Gave up waiting for root device” error in Debian The error “Gave up waiting for root device” in Debian can be caused by missing modules or incorrect partition references. To fix this issue, you can follow these steps: Boot into a live session and list the UUIDs of all partitions using sudo blkid. Check the /etc/fstab file to ensure the correct UUID is listed for the root partition. If the UUID is missing or incorrect, replace it in the /etc/fstab file. If the error persists, you may need to rebuild the initramfs file by running sudo update-initramfs -u after installing the necessary modules with apt-get install lvm2 cryptsetup if you are using logical volumes. 1

These steps should help you resolve the boot error and restore your system’s functionality.

Before giving my verdict on this Wayland/sway experiment, let me explain that my experience on X11/i3 is really good. I don’t see any tearing or other artifacts or glitches in my day-to-day computer usage. I don’t use a compositor, so my input latency is really good

But I thought X11 didn’t have compositors ? Just a window manager.

Biden increased sanctions on Venezuela.

During the Venezuelan election, when the US-backed opposition leader said that he wouldn’t give the oilfields back to the US, Biden had their financial support cut off and arrested opposition members living in the US.

The Venezuelan policy is bipartisan.

yeah i dont know how i couldve survived without eigen vectors

Its just Ubuntu with a theme.

You have to do everything from the terminal anyway…

Recommended minimum for Win 11 is 4 GB.

The system does not need to use RAM to run multiple programs, it can use secondary memory.

A ZX-81 had 784 bytes of RAM. And no secondary memory.

You do know you would need more RAM in that case right ?

What do you think the buffalo live on genius ?

Lots of grazing land isn’t suitable for farming,

Yeah no. Meat animals can only be raised on land which can grow crops.

The grazing land in Africa and the middle east is principally used for textiles like wool and cashmere.

High elevation land in the Himalayas and South America is unusable. Also land in the arctic zone in Europe and North America.

Deserts are not actually barren.

Have you tried turning it off and then on again ?

Violence.

Yeah no its cos it breaks all the time.

I like how the media keep referring to him as a journalist.

No, he was a monkey trained to read an autocue. On the weekend.
