I fixed this and it was a whole thing that I would never have figured out without a detailed wiki. Thank you @manjaro.bsky.social for having such great troubleshooting docs and such a helpful community!
Also, ALWAYS have a bootable Linux USB on you, you never know when you’ll need it!

Hey #linux friends I just need a little hint for when Grub won’t boot after decrypting master key.
Pretend I’m just a silly little goose that needs a little help.

We need high-speed rail everywhere. Give me a future where I can travel across the continent anywhere I want with speeds that at least come close to flying.
It's easier to make trains carbon-neutral. I'd rather watch all the scenery go by. Let's do this.

Maybe this will lead to a golden "take Amtrak instead of flying" era

I’ve been tinkering with an Augmented Reality project in #Flutter and I think I’m ready to conclude 2 things:
1. Google forgot about Flutter and hasn’t released ARCore plugins for it.
2. What I’m building might not be an “app”, but a “game”, and now I’m learning Unity again.

I’ve seen these gathering dust in pawn shops and they always seemed overpriced. They still are, but this is a cool update.

I love how many apps are being built with the #ATProto. I’ve wanted an alternative to GoodReads (Amazon) for years. StoryGraph is good, but development has been slow and the social features are lacking. Maybe BookHive is the winner??

I just rewatched Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (for the umpteenth time, but the first in a long while).
It's still absolutely wonderful, packed with superb little jokes, excellent music and a plot I'll never forget.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Do yourself a favour…

This may be a controversial option, but I will happy to never see a Funko Pop figurine ever again. They are ugly, pointless little plastic things that only fill store shelves like a brain tumour filling a cranium.
Funko is $250 million in debt.
The company behind the Pop! vinyl figurines you have undoubtedly seen absolutely everywhere warns it may not last another 12 months without an acquition or additional funding.
