Comment on Windows 11 and local accounts

It’s so stupid that we need to resort to these stupid tricks and workarounds. Local account should be the first, default option. Using a Microsoft account should be a secondary opt-in option, only for that strange minority of people who would actually want to do such a thing on purpose.

  I wish. It’s one thing with hardware, since multiple designs are expensive to produce side by side. But not so with software. If they are forced to comply with some EU standard, they’ll just make one EU compliant version and continue to fuck over the rest of the world with unregulated bullshit.

Any time I log with my Microsoft account on a Windows computer it also butchers my name and uses just some letters from it when creating folders and stuff like that. It’s something that is stored somewhere only this specific action reads from, but it’s happening for over a decade already with no idea how to fix.

Between that and the fact that windows now creates the Documents folder inside of OneDrive directly and gets all messed up if you move it out, I ended up buying windows Pro just to get back to an offline account.
