Microsoft blocks Windows 11 workaround that enabled local accounts
Many users use an e-mail trick to avoid creating a Microsoft account. This has now apparently been stopped by Microsoft.

I love how there is an entire group of people who think it’s perfectly normal to “fight” the company that makes the OS they use.
(This message brought to you by the Linux gang.)
hey, windows users... your OS actively hates you!
that is all.
Pretty sure most windows users hate their OS right back.
My mom actually said my windows mac the other day....
I doubt most Windows users care enough to hate it.
In my company, people were shocked at the hint I might change their Windows to Linux on a whim. They're all so attached to Windows.
And I was joking!
Tbh I see this as a problem. For instance, I've been considering going into politics and one of my main concerns is the security of our government's information. Right now the Americans could have a direct line of access to all of our doings simply because we use Windows. Not to mention there's the matter of Recall which, while not implemented in Windows 10, will likely be included when the government switches from Windows 10. That itself is a huge security risk. So the only options are to implement an existing Linux distro or to fork and maintain one specifically for the government. And that would be all well and good if it didn't require retraining every government employee to use Linux.
Ubuntu users fight Canonical all the time too.
As soon as I started doing that, I hopped distros.
Exactly, as lest when your distro starts doing things you don’t like, another can easily take its place in your set up.
well, perhaps. but there are a plethora of escape routes if/when it gets too bad for them.
Yeah but on the other hand you also have to wrestle with Linux a lot, and personally usually a lot more time wise. It's all tradeoffs and what people care more about.
true, but you're not fighting malice or greed, you're fighting laziness and arrogance. diffeeent vibe.
If people didn't do this it would happen faster. Not everyone has the luxury of immediately switching, just like the "move to another state" argument
