  • I’ve used Sardu on Windows for making multi-iso bootable USB sticks a long time ago in the past, but I’d admittedly never looked at their ToS or Privacy Policy. My use case was slapping some live boot antivirus scanners, data recovery tools, and one or two lightweight liveboot-Linux ISOs on one USB as a portable toolkit.

    When I’m making anything else from Windows, I’ve always stuck with Rufus. Had never heard of BalenaEtcher before now.




  • My morality and logic is just different.

    Holy shit you cannot be real. I just choked on my water.

    Man you are like the postershild of that meme about playing chess with a pigeon. Knock over the board, shit on everything, and strut away with every fiber of your being reinforcing the idea that you “won”.

    You’re more than welcome to find retroactive justification for your actions, or to shore up in your head the concept that the end result justifies your means. But that doesn’t mean “I’m just built different I guess, teehee!” like some sort of badge of honor.


    From life experience, and from knowing a number of people like you over my years: If you continue with this sort of attittude towards life, and general pattern of behavior, it will come back to bite you hard someday. When it does you will likely not find many people sympathethic to you or willing to help you, due to your own behavior.


    I’m fairly certain that you aren’t the type of person capable of reflecting on your behavior or the responses to it in the last thread or this one and learning to ba a better person from it, but in the rare chance:

    Your own descriptions of your own actions meant to portray you as being in the right instead portray you as an impatient asshole with the emotional and psychological maturity level of a 12 year old, who also has an absurdly inflated idea of the value of themself and their actions.

    There is not much worse in this world than self righteous fuckstains taking actions that were never asked for or wanted, with the motivation that they are only doing what is best for other people who never asked for their help.

    Brother you aren’t thinking far enough!

    • How many years have we allowed women to vote for them to just not stop this from happening?
    • Why did we bother freeing the slaves when we just all ended up slaves to the corporate system man?
    • What did we bother keeping that cold war cold for?

    Seriously, thank you for the laugh. This is one weird ass twist on “ends justify the means” here. “Current situation retroactively invalidates any previous progress or the tools used to reach it” maybe? Quite a mouthful.

    My guy, life is filled with meaningless gestures we all have to regularly do.

    I frequently know the only viable solution for companywide issues at my workplace. Do I just run off on my own and shove it through because I know I’m right? No.

    Even when the change is so buried in the back end that they’d never know, I participate in the meaningless gesture of informing the business folks, taking questions that they don’t have the knowledge base to understand my answers, etc. It’s a regular process established in my workplace, and despite it not changing anything, it must be followed.

    For the price of a few hours every four years, I get to bite back at people who argue that you don’t have any say if you didn’t vote. And if by some miracle voting ends up effecting some change (companies drawing conclusions from the popular vote maybe?), I’m already doing the bare minimum.
