But can they neuter it to make it near useless without a Microsoft account tagging along?

Congratulations! Remember to have extra diapers available at all times.

Another article speaks about Windows 11 requiring a Microsoft account to install it, no longer supporting local accounts.

The extra extra fun part is to then offer you the opportunity to pay for bigger storage!

Bah, just need to oil them up with vaseline.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned observing bureaucracy in action is that trickle down corruption is very much a thing and whatever theoretical sum is achieved, the end sum reaching where it needs to go is quite often less than half of the initial funds.

When it comes to money, it’s dirty all the way down, not just the top.

This how you realize that there are people around that just want to blow shit up.

Use it as a cassus belli and invade Germany.

Well, I’d say knowing this can add some stress to it, so it does have some significance in a tiny amount.

Only if you’re drinking too much.

Try them at the same time for a combo kill!

You can die of a heart attack if you overdo it.

Head first, you say?

I was expecting a step-sister…

It’s on point.

That word is too well known nowadays. Needs another one.

The woes of true believers.

Some ideas on the topic.

I’ve only met vegans on social media. The vocal minority preaching vegan lifestyle is delusional. Outside of it, it’s still corporations doing their best to make a profit. The regular person just eats quietly and lives their life. The requirements and costs are pittance only in their idealistic view of the world. “If only people would just …” No. They won’t. We are where we are because people don’t. Everyone wants the world to go their way and we kill each other for it.

As an omnivore animal, I eat what my budget allows. Sometimes it’s meat, sometimes it’s vegetables and sometimes it’s cardboard. Just like the wild life, eating plastic bags because they taste yummy. Social media vegans seem to be either the ones that can afford to be picky or can’t afford anything else.

Simple truth is that life can always be better, people can always do more and most of us simply don’t want to.

It is also a common method used to incite violence at peaceful protests in order to disperse them. This is seen as such more clearly when the individuals apprehended are not the ones causing violence and instead are part of what seems to be the leadership of said protests.

If I’m reading this right, the groups themselves were peaceful, but individuals which may have been just anti-Israel instead of pro-Palestine or outside agitators taking advantage of the situation stirred things up towards violence. The administration was ineffective in identifying these individuals or maintaining the overall peace, so instead members of the peaceful groups were arrested in order to shut the whole thing down.

So from this perspective, i can see why you would say that.
