Edit: solved. Sorry guys, it was something silly. Instead of clicking shutdown on windows I just hard pressed the off button for some seconds on the laptop. So I booted back on windows and let it shutdown normally and then Debian was able to boot again. Hehe

So I've made a clean install of Debian 12 when it came out and have been using only it exclusively for this time. But I had Windows 10 on dual boot already since when I was using Debian 11, I just never booted on Windows until now.

I had to fill in some PDF documents and ended up having to go to windows and use Adobe Acrobat there because LibreOffice and google docs kept messing up the PDF files when I tried to add text to them.

So I did my thing on windows and finished it all just now and then rebooted and tried to boot my Debian 12 and it won't boot. All I see is:

/dev/sda11: recovering journal

/dev/sda11: clean [...] files, [...] blocks

And it is stuck here forever. I already tried to reboot multiple times.

I did nothing on windows to mess with the Linux partitions btw. Only chrome / acrobat / and I sent the files to google drive (so I didn't even try to copy them directly into the Linux partition or anything).

Please tell me I did not brick my OS and need a clean stall pls. What can I try? The answers I've tried from google don't work.

It is Debian 12 stable with nothing but software from the official stable repositories and flatpak.

If your job was to come up with greater enshittification for society, what would you do?

My ideas:

1. Rental apartments where every wall has a screen with ads 24/7. You can pay cheaper rent to live with ads in every wall or you can pay a monthly subscription to turn off the ads (you don't get to use the screens for anything else tho). After people get used to it we can start adding a little bit of ads even for the subscription users, just a little less.

2. Movie theaters. This one is obvious, why did anyone think it was ok to give people access to uninterrupted movies just because they paid a couple bucks? We should include some ads in the middle of movies in the cinema duh.

3. Water and electricity. Private utility providers should be able to require you to watch a certain amount of ads on their apps in order to deliver their services to you every month (you still also pay normally ofc).

4. Alarm clocks. Smartphones should delete the option to pick a custom sound for alarm and instead wake you up with loud ads. Installing any custom alarm app should require root and we should lobby government to ban devices with alarm clocks which are not smart.

5. Unified ad-watching score. Similar to credit score, you will gain points by not skipping ads, having the selfie camera turned on while watching an ad (to make sure you looking), having the microphone on to make sure it isn't muted, etc. Every platform contributes to your score. They can use your ad-watching score to give you benefits or punish you as they please.

That's crazy I don't think they would

\s obviously

I tried typing @instance_address in the search bar but it doesn't work.

Is it possible to search all communities in a specific instance?
