If she thinks she owns the place, she is sorely mistaken. Cause she gets one chance, -one. and after that she gets one more. And then, after that, she gets three strikes...

so there's nothing I can say and she knows it

Someone drove into a family this evening. Two boys are severely injured. I'm shaking because it happened super close and it could have been anyone I know, or me.

There's a big proportion of absurdly dangerous drivers here in Mayotte. Most people drive okay, and there's a few fine & courteous drivers too. But this small demographic endangers everybody else.

On an island without curbs, where the rainy season makes every road muddy and slippery, where entire families routinely go to the mosque and back on foot twice a day, there's also dicks in audis, cunts in huge jeeps, and neither get the hint. It's small villages throughout, a few extended families, everybody knows everybody. The fucker is still being deincarcerated from his 2 ton metal box. You can be sure he will be shunned for the rest of his life. But that's a meager consolation. It could have been me, it could have been my wife, it could have been any of the kids I know from the neighbourhood,...

I needed to get this off my chest. God, really, genuinely fuck cars.
Be safe,

Hi folks,

I have a problem, a big problem. I have posted a thread over at the Debian forums, but I'm unfortunately in a hurry (my workstation is bricked) so I'm going to cross-post it here (Skullgrid@lemmy.world kindly redirected me to this community for help).

I'm going to paste the text from the Debian help thread below, hopefully someone has an idea how I can pull myself out of this mess.

Quite a bit has happened, so I'll give you a short version with what I think is essential information, and if you need other details please do ask.

Essentially, I tried getting the nvidia driver on a fresh Trixie install using this tutorial (https://fostips.com/install-nvidia-driver-in-debian-13/). I reached the part where it says "After reinstalled the driver, restart your computer.", that's when the terminal turned blue and told me with big centered text that the free driver (?) was already installed and it's conflicting with the new one I am trying to install, but I just need to reboot in order to solve the conflict. So I rebooted and I was greeted by the following prompt.

This goes nowhere, it never boots into Debian. Thinking I had broken Debian, I thought to myself, no big deal, Debian had an issue anyways (see https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=827488), I'll try another random distro (Bazzite) see if it helps. But after installing Bazzite over Trixie, I got the following prompts at boot :

(this one is a bit blurry, it says "Verification failed: (0x1A) Security Violation")

If I go for "Continue boot" it just cycles over and over again on these prompts. And I don't know what to make of the other choices here.

I can see it's related to the operation I did with the nvidia driver, but I don't understand how the problem wasn't solved by wiping my drive with another distro ? twice... now I have tried with Nobara as well, only to get the same prompts. How can I solve this issue ? my computer is bricked and I really hope that's fixable. Anyone has a clue ?

Like I said, don't hesitate to ask if there's something I haven't said...

Cheers,
