she might fuck you. keep posting!

Things neurotypical people do that confuse me.

They’ll say “it’s time to go” so I go outside and stand by the car… I wait….. no one else comes outside.

I go back inside and see that they are still talking to someone, haven’t put their shoes on, decide it’s time to cook a four course meal, etc.

Like… you said it was time to go…. Why are we not going????

"I don't wanna bother you"

Have you considered that this is how your presence feels?

lobber need a fucking break from it all

I am consuming a media and you are going to hear about it

hey, privacy concerned folks,

DON'T USE BALENA ETCHER TO USB YOUR ISOs

As @tailsos-official stated in their blog post, it displays ads which is weird for a simple disk imaging tool and more important:

It shares your IP address, the file name of the image the model of the USB stick and a bunch of other things with the Balena company and third parties.

On Windows, use Rufus instead. It's pretty neat.

On Mac, use the Raspberry Pi Imager. It does its job. Or if you don't mind the terminal, use dd. It's built-in.

On Linux you can use dd, or whatever comes with your DE. Or whatever else you prefer. We got options.

You can also use Ventoy and just chuck all your ISOs on it. No need to reformat your usb drives again just for a new boot stick. One USB to rule them all.
