Microsoft has removed the ability to create an offline account on new Windows 10 installs unless your PC is offline. Disconnect your network / modem before installing Windows 10.

Another option is to keep trying to create the MS account with a fake phone number until it gives up and lets you create a local offline account.

Bonus tip - if you don't want to set security questions when creating an offline account: create one without a password and then set the password via the control panel after logging in.

honestly i'm amazed i didn't find this meme on here, because i feel like mastodon is its true home, so i am reintroducing it to its proper habitat

the quintessential GZDoom experience is reflexively jumping once in a while to dodge an attack and not really achieving anything but still feeling guilty about it for like an hour afterward

One more take on WeWork. I liked the concept of “counterfeit capitalism”. https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/wework-and-counterfeit-capitalism #capitalism #monopolism

When someone expresses confusion and asks for an explanation of something, often times many people respond with something along the lines of "if you don't understand how [blank], then I can't help you."

This is ableist.

It runs on the assumption that everyone thinks and processes things the exact same way you do and shames the other participant for not being able to understand.

If you are unable to properly explain a concept, it is best to simply say so.

"Sorry, but I can't explain this," is fine to say.
