  • The GUI wouldn’t let him break it, so he tried the command line.

    The command line required him to type, with punctuation “Yes, do as I say!” after a big warning.

    If an average user will do that, the “fix” of needing to create a file before being able to type “Yes, do as I say!” isn’t going to change anything



  • The fucking gas lighting in this response

    Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them

    “We ran AI that may or may not have found a legitimate issue, and you’re not looking into it for us fast enough. That’s going to drive away new volunteers that we need”










  • Maybe easier to another suggestion, you’re probably using a systemd based distros -

    journalctl -b -1 will show you the logs from the previous boot, so you could check that after resetting to see if anything was logged

    For some other ideas to narrow down where the issue is…

    If you’re stuck in the frozen state, you can Ctrl+alt+delete 7+ times quickly to tell systemd to try to restart the system. If this works, it means init was still able to process messages

    If that doesn’t work, you could enable Magic Sysrq Key (if disabled in your distro), and then use the key sequence REISUB to try to see if the kernel is still responding and can reset the system
