Yeah, except if you are a member of a troll bot farm. Lemmy allows easy creation of accounts and even networks of it so upvotes mean nothing.

Opisek ,

I haven’t experienced bot presence on Lemmy nearly as much as other platforms. It feels like Reddit years ago: small, but tight communities.

Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.

You would think, but look what we almost got:

Not a photoshop, just a wig. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed.

Cooler heads, or maybe the wig just got stolen…

I think the sword in the middle belonged to a guy named HORSESHIT.

Klear ,

Close. It actually says NORSESHIT.

nature_man , to insanepeoplefacebook in Technology that was mystifying to the Vikings: the ship.

Ok, as someone who was genuinely interested in Scandinavian history during the Viking Age, this one pisses me off more than it should, we know the vikings at BARE MINIMUM LEVEL OF CONTACT traded with people who traded with the Arabs, we know this because several viking hoards have been discovered with Arab coins.

Additionally, the Viking era came about because the vikings had (generally) better boats than other countries at the time, and those boats could traverse both river and sea, allowing them to trade over great distance.

There’s a ton of other stuff I wont go into about the steel (which, by the way, was not damascus, nobody who spent any time learning about it would claim so), the broad terminology of “vikings”, and the Ulfbert sword, maybe I’ll come back some day and type it out, but I just don’t have the time or energy to write an essay right now

No no, they’re right. The Vikings walked to Newfoundland.

i think Black Mesa had a notice like this.

If you notice this notice you will notice that the notice is not worth noticing, so why did you notice it?

I remember seeing this when I was a kid, I’m old as fuck now

Could you describe what has transpired before? Have you actually installed Debian? Are you still trying to boot into the install medium?

Perhaps sharing device specs might be helpful.

senilelemon OP ,

This is after installing debian and booting it up. I used the “complete package” Iso they offer.

bsergay ,

Together with all the other information you’ve shared, it’s not entirely clear why it has failed; at least to me.

If you’re not married/tied to the installation of Debian, may I suggest installing Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Tuxedo OS or Zorin OS instead?

There are of course many other distros you could choose, but the earlier mentioned ones are ‘stable’ like Debian is. I thought that perhaps it was what attracted you towards Debian in the first place.

senilelemon OP ,

Yeah, I couldn’t find a good solution online either. Maybe It was a bit flip? Guess the universe sent a high velocity particle at my PC from lightyears away just to ruin my day, that’s the only explaination I have after seven hours of looking online.

Sure, I’ll check out some other distros.

rekorse ,

I setup popos and EndeavourOS recently, very easy to install. Learning them was about equal IMO, they have different ways of doing things. I liked PopOS initially because its supported by a company that has financial incentive to make sure it runs reliably.

There was extensive trade between Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, and some of the vikings are believed to have been Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa (“viking” meant armed seafarer, and was a profession and not an ethnicity). Meanwhile, Norse and Icelandic mercenaries worked as the Byzantine empire’s Varangian Guards (they were favoured for their courage, and equally importantly, lack of connection to domestic political intrigues).

Kyrgizion ,

The Varangian guard turned out to be, in general, much… healthier for emperors than the former Praetorian guard.

almar_quigley ,

The documentary The 13th Warrior confirms Muslims were definitely part of the Vikings.

Pringles ,

And had a Spanish accent. They would say “Thore, the god del Thundero”, for example, even though they would write it in plain runes.

some_guy ,

Aha smartass! Everyone knows free trade didn’t exist until 1985, so how could that be true?

On a more serious note, the Sea Peoples reached Egypt and Ramses III said they devastated neighboring civs. Could have included Norse.

kolorafa , (edited ) to linux in [SOLVED] First time installing linux (Debian). Got this error. Please help

Looks like the installer and grub is confused about the hard drive order different in instaler and different while booting, both those drives could also have the same partition/drive ID making it confused, that could happen if you cloned/copied the drive in the past

I would say as a easy and safe solution

  1. unplug all other drives that you don’t want install linux
  2. Install Linux (best by formatting whole drive) - it should work just fine at this point
  3. After confirming everything works - connect the other drives back
  4. If Linux no longer boots after adding drives then tweak disk boot order in BIOS
