It was at a gas station pump. It’s about pumping gas and leaving without paying.

Barely related, but I did see this recently and had a laugh

Edit: correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they misunderstood the abbreviation “cctv”. Mixing up “closed-circuit” and “closed-captioned”.

To prove your point, ventoy seems to come with 3 .exes

For me, it’s just a matter of finding various forum posts from other people trying to get it working, and applying different suggested fixes until something works (ideally).

I’m no stranger to that. I guess it’s a matter of motivation at this point.

That’s reassuring. I think it’s capable but it may be windows secure boot messing it up. Not familiar with bcdedit but I could try.

I only do audio production on my laptop. All browsing is come on my phone whenever possible. The software in my workflow is all Linux compatible and the distros I’m interested in are geared toward that focus. That said I would appreciate the convenience of having windows for now still. Especially since there are some plugins I occasionally use which unfortunately aren’t Linux compatible.

It’s at least 5 years old. I’ll look into secure boot. I wouldn’t be against ditching windows entirely but I’m not sure I’m up for transferring all my files over right now. No way my laptop supports another drive unfortunately

Edit: however much to my surprise I did find an official service guide

I feel like those were the settings I used in Rufus. Sounds like legacy support might be what I need, thanks.

I would really appreciate that in fact.

I tried Rufus and UNetbootin, both on the windows 10 machine I’m intending to try Linux on, to a 32gb flash drive (I tried two different ones actually). I used an AV Linux ISO and Ubuntu Studio ISO. I have not tried Ventoy.

It’s an HP. I’ll have to check the model. I went through the bios, and while admittedly it’s been some time, I thought everything seemed right. I recall trying to change the priority.

It wouldn’t boot at all. Windows just forces its way through.

Edit: I looked I to Ventoy a bit. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

Just install Linux on your laptop or desktop.

I have been trying

I don’t think my laptop likes to boot from a USB, things used to be so much easier. Maybe I need to try a DVD.

I need to find a DVD.

Maybe you can ask one of your human friends to help?

That’s really cool, thanks for the link.

Bought by Epic Games and sold a year and a half later 😩

I haven’t encountered it. Maybe we’re lucky and some law prevents it? I find it hard to believe they wouldn’t exploit us further if there wasn’t something stopping them.

Why do only the first half of the paragraphs start with a capital too?

Pay? I’m just testing out the service now with one for free.

ETA: you get 5 free email masks or $1-2/month for unlimited.

Have you tried Firefox Relay?

The only reason they’re even asking is because they’re required to.

Did I miss where OP said they’re in France?

Somewhere between one and two.

Time to dig out that 14ft ladder

Remove everything after the question mark.

How much extra resources does running that consume?

It was a comment made it jest. Would adding “/s” have made a difference to you?

I misread, but at least I’m not a dick to strangers online for no reason.

Yeah OP, just dox them, what could go wrong?

If there’s only one user that instance’s “all” feed will be indistinguishable from the user’s subscription feed.

(unless you do some community seeding)

Only communities a user subscribes to get federated over.

I always thought the derision of that was overblown. You can tell what he meant. It’s not a completely flawed analogy.

I don’t even trust that I’m a person sometimes.
