Capitalism is antithetical to democracy. Capitalism left unchecked will eventually lead to fascism.

Well of course I know him. He's me.

Fair enough.

Sure.

Dems and repubs are the the same side of the same coin dipped in dog shit as far as im concerned.

As if it wasn't fucking obvious to everyone and anyone that has been paying attention for the last ten years. This really isn't "news" as much as it is another conformation from US official saying what we all already know. Still its nice to see it and i want more people to stand up ant tell us all they know!

just trying to understand what I did wrong.

You might not have done anything wrong.

There is also the possibility of a bad USB drive or write memory failure. There is lots of things that could go wrong that's not your fault. Might try a different USB or a different USB port on your machine.

You might want to try zeroing out the USB, if=/dev/zero. Then you might need to make a new partition table. You can use something like gparted. Or https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-manipulate-partition-tables-with-fdisk-cfdisk-and-sfdisk-on-linux

You can try GPT or DOS. I dont think it matters.

Not sure if the ISO will have the partition table so you might want make the new partition table just to be sure the stick defiantly has one. If dd overwrites it from the iso no harm no foul.

Thats all the troubleshooting steps I can think of right now.

Did you make sure that the of is correct? lsblk to make sure.

If your sure it wrote to the right drive i would make sure that you have a good download. Did you run your checksums?

I think fedora works with secureboot but you might want to disable it just to see if that is the issue. I believe you can reenable it after install.

Make sure to go into the bios and boot from external drive/usb.

Out of 15 years of using dd i have never had a problem.

Trump is an enemy of democracy. An enemy of all free peoples. A clear and present danger to us all.

They took their oath to defend the constitution. Clearly trump is the enemy from within.

If there are any generals in the US that are still loyal to the people and their oaths they took to defend our country from enemy's both foreign and domestic, now is the time.

US has abdicated its role. Europe's time to take the reins has come.

Fair enough!

I very much appreciated the xkcd, gave a good chuckle.
