You can still use local accounts with Windows 11. It’s just a bit fiddley. If you use Rufus to make your boot usb, there’s a bunch of deshitification options you can do.

Meanwhile I felt so guilty filing a support ticket under “Production Services Impacted” when, while it was our production environment, it was not actively in use…

I switched over to EndeavourOS around the same time. I relegated my old windows install to a virtual image, which I boot into for specific games and Excel. 10/10 recommend.

I’ve been wanting to make a hotspot connected LED matrix in my back window that I can send messages to from my phone for ages now. Imagine Google Assistant integration so I could just say like “hey google, apologize to the car behind me” lol.

For cheap set it and forget it cold storage, this is incredible. For anything actively being touched, yeah definitely a pass.

As an immigrant to the US, I’ve always found the blind patriotism commonplace here to be very strange. It feels even more alienating now than ever before.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 2 weeks ago:
No worries here. I’ve been on EndeavourOS for 3 months now. Im just saying there’s enough crossover that I think the steam hardware survey will show the uptick over time.

New startup: BusGrub.
You put in an order for what you want and pick a timeslot a few hours in the future. E.g. for dinner, you put your order in at like at like noon and pick a 5-7pm window. Then, approaching your scheduled slot, a bus goes all around the area, picking up every order for that slot in the area, then swings around to each drop-off over the course of like two hours.
Result: Everyone enjoys cheaper, but gross soggy food.
Please give me $20 mil starting capital, thanks.

Sure it will, there are a ton of people who want to get away from the trash that is Microsoft and play Steam games, myself included.

Yeah, they should have sucked it up and made a passionless game, a shell of the former titles. Oh, wait.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 2 weeks ago:
I guess it wasn’t super relevant to the prior comment, which was focused more on AI embodiment. Eh, it’s just numbers anyway, no sweat off my back. Appreciate you, though!
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 3 weeks ago:
That and there is literally no way to prove something is or isn’t conscious. I can’t even prove to another human being that I’m a conscious entity, you just have to assume I am because from your own experience, you are so therefor I must be, right?
Not saying I think AI in it’s current form is conscious, the whole idea is just silly and unfalsifiable.

The average person should almost certainly not be using it, but maybe it would make the difference for extremely sun sensitive people.
- Comment on But I am mighty!! 3 weeks ago:
The nuclear reactions occurring within the sun emit a wide spectrum of radiation, everything from sub-visible thermal radiation to high energy gamma rays. Thankfully, the Earth’s own electromagnetic field and ozone protects us from all but a tiny sliver of ionizing radiation or we wouldn’t be here to talk about it.
