@microsoft @catsalad > opens the "setting up your computer" wizard for the 80th time despite heavy debloating and advanced configuration
@arichtman@eigenmagic.net @catsalad@infosec.exchange I'm on my knees begging please connect your microsoft account to your windows install :c
@microsoft @catsalad (spams a zillion telemetry endpoints) mommy I wrote you but you didnt write me back 😭
My DNS blocker: 😈
@catsalad@infosec.exchange (you can disable ms account login using a group policy btw, the os kinda just forgets ms accounts exists and skips right to local account creation whenever you try to add one)
@vox @catsalad Yes ahd besides the whole OOBE hack and explicit accounts to override that shit this entire shitshow should not exist and I'd rather forciblybmigrate every #Windows machine on sight to #Linux than ever do this hack myself...
@catsalad I might need this as a sticker for when I reinstall because this is not right: https://infosec.exchange/@sassdawe/112858977184587366
@sassdawe @catsalad or just migrate away to #UbuntuLTS?
@catsalad As a side note, I found out the hard way that apparently if there is *ANY* problem with your account, it royally screws your OS too. In my case I logged into my account on Minecraft on my Switch and suddenly it put a ban on my account. Then I couldn't even log into my computer! All stuff encrypted to that account was lost. I spent days and days trying to get to a human to talk to about whatever the heck was going on, but there is nothing but automated systems. Once it puts a hold like that on your account, you must give them your private cell number (assuming you have one -- if you don't you're screwed) to text a verification code so they have your cell number (which is kind of like a SSN in this day and age. People really need to give it out less!) You can't email or chat
@nazokiyoubinbou @catsalad SHIT LIKE THIS is the reason why I'd rather choose death over Windows...

@kkarhan@infosec.space @catsalad@infosec.exchange That Mandrake logo. That brings back some memories 🙏
Oh sorry I meant, Mandriva. Anwyays, my back hurts, I need a nap.
@getimiskon @catsalad @alexadeswift @brouhaha yeah...
I did in fact preview #SubgraphOS when it was in a non-public alpha and that seemed more interesting.
@getimiskon @catsalad @alexadeswift @brouhaha yeah, #SubgraphOS got killed by #grsecurity being assholes and #paywalling access to their suite!
