Instructions unclear. Phone is now stuck. Please advise.
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 1 week ago:
The claim is that some (not all) videos showing nonstandard Windows 11 installs have been taken down by YouTube. Are you refuting that?

The title is the claim: “YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs”

There isn’t a claim being made that all videos showing circumvention of the Microsoft account requirement for Windows 11 installation are being taken down. Only some of them. You saying “people will just believe anything that fits their worldview” sounds like you’re asserting that no takedowns are occurring. Thank you for clarifying that this is not actually your position.
The likelihood is that that this is being done automatically by youtube’s AI, rather than because of requests by Microsoft. I think the real problem illustrated here is the lack of transparency when Youtube issues a takedown. An initial glance at Youtube’s Community Guidelines doesn’t seem to indicate a criterion by which a takedown would be automatically issued for such content, but I wonder if they’re starting to automatically flag anything that might be considered circumvention guides. Yet another reason to stop using Youtube.

The fact that videos remain does not mean that videos haven’t been removed

You keep saying I don’t remember, which feels a bit dismissive. I do remember. We just have differing opinions on the barriers to entry for Microsoft vs. FOSS in the 90s.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever 3 months ago:
Fair enough, but Linux was quite difficult for a normal user to install back in the 90’s. And you could literally destroy your monitor if you didn’t know what you were doing. I was responding to the notion that using FOSS was somehow easier to get into in the 90s than Microsoft products.

Maybe true today, but less true in earlier times (90s and early 2000s) when Microsoft was really gaining dominance.
