It was pretty organised, all things considered. The problem was that the organised approach was to do a single, one off, 2-day protest with no end-game. The consensus was simply far too naiive in assuming that the reddit admins wouldn't just sit it out knowing that they'd only have to oust a few stragglers at most.

Whatever you wanna say about the fairphone, LTT shouldn't have any say in the review industry after their back-to-back lying to the public AND sexual harassment debacles. They've been sleazy for years, taking money from companies they claim to review impartially, and twisting everything into a meme factory instead of putting the tiniest amount of effort into quality reviews and tech journalism.

Linus is absolutely the last guy you should be listening to on anything unless he's explaining how he managed to salvage his reputation after covering up toxic and predatory workplace behaviour and still coming out the other side a multimillionaire.

Eh, it gives me a grub-like menu but selecting any option just dumps me back into the console.

Afraid I got nothin' from that. It's pretty much beyond my abilities.

Im gonna try installing mint again and letting that fix my grub. if it doesnt, im gonna wipe and redo my install.

Thanks for trying :)

EDIT: Yep just stuck mint on the smallest partition the installer would let me and it "fixed" itself lol. Ah well. Until I inevitably distro hop :')

So echo $root returns (hd0,gpt1). I have to set it to hd0,gpt2 to get the boot/linux dirs. I'll try --removable and get back to ya

Sadly not a boot order issue, every option is borked :/

I ran it without the --removable flag :)

Spamming f12 for the uefi boot menu, I have 3 options (neon, ubuntu, and ubuntu) but all 3 spit me out onto the grub console

Tried the 3 options I had in the UEFI boot menu but no dice on either annoyingly.

Seems to work fine, but same again, nothing :/

Is it worth me just wiping the partition and doing it from scratch?

Tried all the ones that my BIOS picks up but no dice :/

It was just me not running the command with sudo, my bad!

But even then, doing install-grub and grub-mkconfig with sudo (completing w/o errors) I'm still getting spat out onto the grub console at boot. Should I try formatting the efi partition and reinstalling grub to it?

NB: So, just a heads up, that since I've been able to boot into my KDE-neon install via grub

     
$ set root=(hd0,gpt2)
 $ linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/nvme0n1p2
 $ initrd /boot/initrd.img
 $ boot

  

I've skipped the steps regarding booting into a live image and using chroot/mount to mount the main install to the live session. If it's definitely necessary that I go that route let me know and I'll try it that way.

EDIT: My bad, grub install works fine if i run it w/ sudo

However, even after doing grub-mkconfig I'm being spat out onto the grub console when i reboot :S

Not much different to Kubuntu really. In practice it's just updated more often with latest Kde patches and has flatpaks enabled

you tried buddy

Oh my apologies, my pi doesnt handle it well on plex. Didnt realise it at the time and sorta just went with what was easiest to set up before realising I'd need to pay to get transcoding 😔

My raspberry pi doesnt transcode h265 very well at all. Much easier to expand the storage until I can upgrade to something better

They'll just start taking over the large money-makers (if they havent already): pics, funny, memes, news, gaming etc.

Maybe they'll even create a tiered system of "community curated" subreddits and "official" subs.

Either way, they don't have to moderate the whole site, just the parts that take in most of the traffic. That way you don't have to deal with volunteers and their personal beefs and/or protests to your changes.

Most of the smaller subs are basically dead anyway, in terms of moderation. Many of them are way less active too.

Its a good thing the Moderators famously fumbled their one attempt at protesting for anything significant to reddit
