Unelected immigrant with illegal unfettered access to all data in the entire federal government complains about having to have a microsoft account to use Windows.
Nope, the Steam Deck has been my daily driver, I love it.
LOL yeah dude you just
In the setup page before you select language Open cmd with Shift + F10 and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO
Then set up the computer without internet
Or just use Rufus to make the ISO and check the box to bypass creating an account. I’m dual booting Windows 11 right now without one.

Wait the richest asshole in the world uses regular windows like poor commoners?
Because he has access to many sensitive data, shouldn’t be using windows enterprise with a finely tuned group policy by some AD guru??
Don’t you need to create an X account just to look at posts on X?
Use xcancel.com to see tweets without an account.
Your comment shows up twice. Which Lemmy client are you using?
Web and Voyager in iOS. The web front end of ah.itjust.works has been a bit sluggish today though and sometimes showed errors when posting.
Don’t you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

Somebody’s mad Bill said he was craaaaaaazy
No I am not seeing it I use Linux
See? That’s why you’re not a genius like Elon Musk! He knows that Linux is too hard!
For the world’s smartest guy, he sure is stupid
Anyone who thinks he’s the smartest guy at anything has been organically lobotomized by a brain worm
Wait we don’t live in a meritocracy after all?
Opposite
The console bypass trick still works.
Thank god. I had to jump through so many hoops just to get a windows VM without a password.
It’s simple z we buy Microsoft
And then proceed to run it off a cliff
Oh please, musk, buy Microsoft, please please
My god that would be funny
Here’s the link for anyone who’s looking for it: https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1761835728000954654
Nitter.net is alive!?
Yes, it recently came back to live
There are a few new instances: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances#public
Nitter (the software) recently had an update, as long as you just provide a valid Twitter account, you can easily run an instance. The previous versions of Nitter used an unauthenticated GraphQL API, but it was shut down at some point. I still don’t know how xcancel.com and nitter.poast.org managed to survive though.
he’s gonna buy Microsoft and rename it MicroXoft for fucks sake.
Read it as micrococks
We know how this ends
- Elon complains
- Elon buys
- Elon destroys
If Elon destroyed MS, that would be a net positive.
Microsoft has a market cap of over 3 trillion.
Musk is crazy stupid rich times a million, but he’s an order of magnitude shy of being able to bully Microsoft with his wallet. With the resources of the US government, sure. but not his checkbook.
Is there no longer an option to use a local account if the internet isn’t available?
I followed a guide on YouTube to install windows 11 without an account. It also helped me disable a lot of crap.
Despite what people tell you in here Linux isn’t an amazing alternative if you don’t want to spend time setting it up to be a replacement.
I’m a software engineer and when I leave work I don’t want to be solving more problems.
I am the furthest thing from a techie but I have been using Linux for several years. Never in a million years could I return to windows.
Linux doesn’t break often in my experience
My fedora install nuked itself after an update
Corrupted the btrfs filesystem and would only mount as readonly. Trying some “fixes” completely fucked it.
Meanwhile had zero issues with windows updates and even was able to get the machine booting fine to an older windows install on the drive
The same thing happened to me on Pop OS.
Buuuut I’ve been on Debian for the past year with absolutely no issues. I think that, for 99% of computer users, the whole “rolling release” design for an OS is more trouble than its worth. Give me a stable release that I can get used to for a couple years, then one big update at a time - little updates every day that unexpectedly change and sometimes break things just make the experience of doing things more finnicky and unpredictable.
That was also the final straw that made me leave Windows, for the record.
I may be wrong on this, but I believe they don’t give you that option, and just ask to be connected to the internet before continuing setup. You can, however, do some shenanigans to open up command prompt, and after a little bit of typing in commands from the internet and restarting your machine, you can then skip the account login and just make a local account.
Click domain join instead and then create a local account
That option only shows up when you set up Pro edition unfortunately.
Shift F10 opens a command window, OOBE\bypassnro
Or run ipconfig /release
This will disconnect your internet connection for a moment and allow you to create a local account.
This
Ah yes, that well documented command that any regular user is going to know about…
All I can come up with is snarky comments. Sorry.
If you are savvy enough to be outraged at it, you’re savvy enough to look up the commands to bypass it in 2 minutes.
RTFM oh wait it’s Windows.
I feel like someone as rich as Musk probably boight Windows Pro.
