I know. My point was that I don't wanted any local auth at all. It should boot right to desktop, no PIN or password asked. The linked MS account is completely worthless and only used to satisfy the installer.

Just this weekend I had the pleasure of installing Win 10 on a blank disk. The install went ok, but then it bothered me logging into the MS Account. After cursing for a while and since it wasn't my PC, I gave in. I know I can fight it, but it's not worth it here. Then it continued trying to get me to consent to all kinds of shit. NO, I DON'T WANT FUCKING OFFICE AND I DON'T WANT MY FILES IN ONEDRIVE you assholes!

Then it forces me to choose a PIN for "secure login". DUDE! That motherfucking PC is used for a bit of office work and gaming. Just let these poor people boot up the machine and use it! 0000? Too simple. 1234 too. Fuck you, MS. Ok, random PIN and a sticky note it is, asshats.

Anyway, after getting it to fuck off, I continue to the desktop. Oh wow, 10 updates and a ton of missing drivers? It's a fresh install! What the fuck did it install?! Of course the installation of all these updates takes an hour and countless restarts... AFTER A FRESH INSTALL! Not even my overblown super slow Ubuntu server takes that long for updates; and that runs on a HDD not a SSD like that PC I set up.

But wait. One update failed. Why? Ah, the rescue partition is too small.... THE ONE THAT DUMB SON-OF-BITCH CREATED ON ITS OWN AS PART OF THE INSTALL! How to fix? Ah, execute a bunch of commandline foo with diskpart and other tools. Wait, isn't that exactly the kind of shit that Windows fans laugh about when looking down on us Linux nerds?!

So ... ugh .... just one simple anecdote of why Windows can fuck off.

I still rank OSX higher, simply because it's at least consistent. Windows is a fucking mess.

What I find weird about Tumbleweed is, that updating is not integrated into YaST or another UI. You have to use the commandline to keep your system up to date. That makes it exactly as inconvenient as Arch for newcomers, but Arch has a whole philosophy behind this while SuSE is typically very GUI oriented. It's weird.

Ich kenn seine Musik nicht... kann man als Fan politische Statements erwarten? Wenn nicht, kann ich mir schon vorstellen, dass man etwas angepisst ist, wenn man selbst auf einem Konzert mit der harten Realität (vor der man vlt flüchten wollte) konfrontiert wird.

Abgesehen davon: bei AfD und BSW Ergebnissen von zusammen knapp 30%, muss man wohl erwarten, dass auch im Publikum eine spürbare Anzahl Russlandfreunde rumhängen.

If you are so keen on correctness, please don't say "LLMs are lying". Lying is a conscious action of deceiving. LLMs are not capable of that. That's exactly the problem: they don't think, they just assemble with probability. If they could lie, they could also produce real answers.

Bist du etwa objectophob?! /s

Gern ebenso vor die Tür. Wer keinen Anstand hat andere ausreden zu lassen, hat da nix verloren.

Ich finde Gewalt im politischen Diskurs falsch, aber habe in solchen Fällen durchaus weniger Mitleid als in anderen Fällen. Die AfD heizt ja selbst seit langem den Konflikt an, da ist es nur gerecht, wenn sie die Früchte auch zunehmend selbst erntet.

Schon wenn ich deren Benehmen im Bundestag höre (ständiges reinlabern), wünschte ich mir, man dürfte sie für sowas unsanft vor die Tür setzen. So ein ungehobeltes, freches, aggressives Dreckspack.

Bei diesen Donauwellen helfe ich gern.

A capture card also makes sense if you have a camera that feeds into HDMI (vs a normal webcam that already provides USB).

Yup, I don't understand it either. Many "how to fix ..." articles involve quite a lot powershell magic. And I say "magic" because IMO they are often essentially API calls which I find far harder to grasp than config files that follow some logic and help me understand what is interacting how.
