You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

Ah, shit, TempleOS.

Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it's just a few MB.

Dude, you're getting a dell ...

And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 2 months ago

Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

[-] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)

And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.

People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".

Take the red USB and it always ends with you deep in a forum and the terminal app.

I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago
[-] kogasa@programming.dev 10 points 2 months ago

Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

Hi I'm some mf

Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows

I know, they won't, but I'm gonna keep asking anyway

[-] Statick@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Hey, same boat. I've tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)... But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.

People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that's the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.

If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I'm gonna be restarting my computer a lot.

“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

[-] Fish@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago

Why are both of the USB drives red?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 11 points 2 months ago

Because choice is an illusion.

[-] SirHery@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Both are Linux.

That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!
