For me, Windows 11 mandatory account, and Internet on setup. Yes there are bypasses, yes I could upgrade from 10. But where I’m from, having the internet isn’t always a given.

So imagine dropping $500-$1000 on a new laptop booting it up for the first time, and learning that its now a brick since Windows refuses to let you use it since you have no internet. No Pro license can unbork you from this.

Even MacOS isn’t that dumb (for now).

The account thing is a personal beef I have with windows. I.e. my PC my account, why does it need to be online, I have no reason for it.

So my plan was to migrate to FOSS or proper cross platform software for work, see if Linux works, and if it doesn’t move to MacOS. So far Linux Mint has been stable.

Spyro 1-3. First game set the mood. Second game refined the formula, last game had fun with it. Still play it to this day.

Because years ago I made my PC password with Capslock on since a warning would show.

So genius 13 year old me said, “hey even if someone knew my password, they’d never know how it was inputted.”

So my actual wake key is capslock.

Only my PC uses this old password method now, everything else is passphrase+uniquekey

Like google+lemmyworld

Depends the OS.

Windows its Space

On Linux shift since space will fill in the password field with spaces

API changes, I use to use Infinity for Reddit and it was good. Then they killed it effectively.

So I moved to Eternity for Lemmy until support dropped. Now I’m on Voyager.

Good apps design keeps me using a platform and I like the slower pace of Lemmy. I still use reddit for time to time especially for smaller communities. But do my part here.
