On mine I had to use a BIOS flasher tool since it was locked and Dev mode wasn’t allowed to be enabled (think it was due to enterprise enrollment), though flashing the image directly worked like a charm following the unbricking guide.

Tip, you can put full Linux on most chromebooks and chromeos devices. I’ve done it before mrchromebox.tech

It is freaky that this type of casual brainwashing isn’t frowned upon here. Like forcing people to pledge allegiance to the country and to god (one nation under god) yeah… that’s not great…

I never liked doing it. Got in trouble a few times for not doing it, though that didn’t matter to me since I got in trouble a lot when I was in school. Those dipshits (the counselor) thought I had “Gender Identity Disorder” and was reacting because of “distress” (Not because I wouldn’t say the pledge, I did many worse things than that), they also used the fact that I also had long hair and sometimes would wear a skirt as evidence I had GID. What fun people I spent my childhood with sarcasm I’m glad my parents are and were nice people otherwise I might not be here today.

I mean if someone doesn’t want to share their pronouns what do they really expect, they should share them or accept they/them without complaining. Can’t expect other people to read minds.

That’s painful just to read it.

Why would you trust the Merriam Webster Brand account? Have you seen brand Twitter lately? Don’t trust the people behind these accounts, they’re only doing it for clicks.

Oh my god I just said this the other day. It would be very funny if that somehow happened and they sent it back to France. We really don’t deserve it.

No one is bullying or attacking you, we’re calling you out for making shitty bad faith arguments about free speech and also refusing to acknowledge or respect this instance’s rules on misgendering others and gatekeeping. Which by the way, the Egg Prime directive is only an extension of.

I agree, what they’re saying reeks of that garbage “Freeze Peach” bullshit, and trying to argue for the right to misgender others in privately owned spaces.

That’s one of the most bad faith statements I’ve heard in a while. You’re basically saying that any attempt to silence people who happen to be queer, even if they are saying legitimately hurtful things, is wrong and makes you conservative. This isn’t true though. In fact, lemmy.blahaj.zone’s admins are more than happy to ban people if they are harmful, gatekeep people’s identities, or intentionally spread queerphobia themselves, and it doesn’t matter if they are queer or not.

Are you trying to say that horrible people should be allowed here just because they’re queer? Because that makes no sense, this place (Blahaj) being a safe space means that all harmful speech and content is removed, not just from non-queer people.

Egg in this case is slang to mean someone who is trans and in-denial of it. The Egg Prime Directive means that you can’t go calling random people eggs, though officially it’s a bit more complex.

They’re calling OP an egg, in blatant and direct violation of the Egg Prime Directive.

I know that, but you’re still more deserving than we are.

Who told you or implied you weren’t? Under the Egg Prime Directive that is not allowed.

Seriously, it’s really not okay to go around telling other people that they are or aren’t something personal and self-defined as gender identity.

Yes it is.

France should demand the Statue of Liberty back, we don’t deserve it anymore. They’re more deserving of it than we are.

That is a simplified way of putting it (It’s actually more complex and nuanced) but yes, that is the gist of it.

My math teacher always used to teach that to us, but we learned that it’s not a very good approximation of Pi when she tried to grade our work with a calculator instead of the answer sheet. All of us asked her why we got Ds on the test and she went back and realized many of us got it right according to the book but when she used a calculator it was different because 22/7 is bad approximation.

People should engage in more self-care already. Taking care of yourself is important for health and happiness.
