Dude, if you think this is bad, I can only hope for your sake that you don’t ever stumble into Bing’s news aggregator… Literally every. single. article. that has anything to say regarding man-made climate change that doesn’t shoot sunbeams and happy straight up your asshole somehow ends up with a good 3 or 4:1 downvote to upvote ratio within minutes of posting. It’s fucking disgusting, tbh.

The comments on these articles are also generally all some variation of one of the following: Someone questioning how Biden is making money off of this (🙃); Accusations of malfeasance or corruption on the part of scientists and/or science itself; “Nuh uh, cuz God didn’t say so” as a rebuttal to climate data; “It’s being done on purpose by the sun/libs/terrorists/Biden/Santa Claus”; “There wasn’t any extreme weather when TRUMP was president”; “It’s all a hoax to take your guns, somehow”; or, my two personal favorites, “The planet goes through these cycles naturally and nothing humans could do is capable of altering the climate” which is almost always followed shortly by “We’ll have the technology to fix it by the time it gets really bad in 50-100 years, even though it’s not going to ever get that bad because it’s a hoax perpetuated by the libs and scientists to make money by selling… Something, probably”

Antisemitic people, if I had to make a guess

The article about it is certainly chock way the fuck full of buzzwords, but did little in the way of instilling in me any desire to actually use the thing… Also, where in the fuck are people coming up with these names nowadays? “Mastodon?Nostr?” What cumbersome, awkward bullshit.

Sizing the partitions is a step you (can) take when formatting the drive… And from what I can tell the Envy has an M2 nvme in it, and it just seems crazy to me to basically just ignore that to boot off of an SD card/USB drive…

How sure are you that you want to be using Linux? Lol

Just use Rufus, dude… You can even set the amount of space your image/deployment/instance (whatever the most correct term is lol) persists in, which makes it more convenient if (like me) you find yourself frequently wanting to play around with new and exciting distros.

Also, not to gang up on ya or anything either, but I’m gonna have to second the other commentor’s request for the info on that laptop, as I’ve never encountered one that prevented you from reformatting it… o_0 I would be returning the fuck out of that garbage… Even the non-ARM old chromebooks would let you do that.

How else am I supposed to get these bees outta my teeth then, oh ye who is so wise in the ways of science?

Sometimes, it really do be like that tho

Dude, I’ve been having the exact same problem for the last few days and have been banging my head against the wall with it too. Thanks for posting this, I’m eagerly awaiting the responses you get
