Lemmy probably isn't the target audience for this, here's the steps to bypass the MS account requirement when setting up W11:

  • Configure your keyboard, but before you select your wifi network press Shift+(Fn)+F10 to open Command Prompt.

  • Type in the following command and press enter. Your computer will reboot: oobe\bypassnro

  • After the reboot, configure your keyboard and location settings, and click the option at the bottom of the page to say that you don't want to connect to the internet

  • Click the link on the next page to "Continue with limited setup", then follow the prompts to enter a username and password.

When I was growing up, my dad had some sort of email server or ftp server or something for the university he taught at. I have childhood memories of trying in odin@[university].edu. My first fileserver at home was just called The Vault, but when I put together a dedicated VM server, it became Odin. The long term VMs that I host on there are named after some of the lesser Nordic gods. I also have a Pi running NginX for reverse proxy passing, so after the latest season finale of Loki, that seemed like an appropriate name for that device.

It's not as impressive as some of the other projects mentioned here, but there was a one-year hiatus during the filming of Cast Away to allow Tom Hanks to lose all (and more) of the weight he had gained for the first part of the movie. His beard and tan were earned honestly during that time as well.

Anecdotally, I'm running Kubuntu on a Dell 7280 with a 4 cell battery as my personal computer, which gets an hour or two of websurfing and home network experimentation per day, and I'm having to charge up once or twice a week. I dunno how that stacks up to other devices or distros, but I really barely think about my battery.

I actually really don't like this feature, but I just went and checked on my S21, as well as my work S20, and both of them have a Flash notification option, which flashes the camera LED when a notification goes off. Is that what you're talking about?

I fit into about the same categories of use as you do, and I agree with most of your assessments. My one complaint is that, when I go to enter my master password the keyboard no longer pops up automatically, instead requiring that I tap the password field to bring it up. That stated happening sometime last year, and I've lived with it, but it's just a quality of life thing that I miss.

Water and hand soap, unless they really need to be cleaned right now. I used to use a microfiber cloth, but I ran into the same problems as you. Soap and water will allow you to get oil from your hands and face off, as well as water spots and whatever else might be on there, and it's gentle enough that it doesn't hurt or scratch the lenses. When I put my glasses back on after cleaning them like this, It's a Whole New World starts playing in my head.

This sounds great, but the cynic in me can't help buy wonder if this is counter-programming for Mozilla's privacy study that came out a couple weeks ago: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

Unless you count the space, bringing it down to 42%!

Cardoon stems are done in a similar way. We got some from a community-supported agriculture group a few years ago, and they were delicious!

I was using Firefox on android for a couple of weeks, with a link of my home screen to make it feel more like an app, but everything I left the app, Firefox would crash. I re-downloaded thr DuckDuckGo browser and tried the same thing with that, and had much more success.

I also downloaded and tried Jerboa, but it wouldn't remember my browsing preferences, always defaulting to Local communities, sorted by Active. Also, Day was the smallest increment under the Top sorting. None of that matched with my preferences.
