There’s multiple projects out there for it. Windows 10 Ameliorated is/was an open source project of PowerShell scripts you run against the installation media (and I think afer install, it’s been a while) to get LTSC Windows 10 stripped down as much as possible.

It’s what I run in a VM for my work’s VPN connection software (and then for the RDP session too). Keeps an extra level of separation from my personal stuff.

I could probably get things working in a Linux VM, but it’s not worth the trouble for me.

The fuck are you talking about? I’m not the thorn guy, and I do find their “quirk” annoying.

A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it’s a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don’t want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I’m going to call this shit out.

I’ve already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.

My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I’m going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.

0 comments/posts. Lol, lmao even.

Now there’s a post directly targeting another lemmy user. What the fuck mods.

Edit: I reported the harassment post, called it out in my own post here which also highlighted that only 1 of the 3 mods here have any activity in the past 2 years, and my post was removed. Fair. Still laughing that’s the only mod action in the sub in ages.

I have no interest in herding cats (modding), but you could probably take the lack of mod activity up with the lemmy.world admins in whatever the instance meta community is and see if you could get added as a mod.

It’s literally spelled out on the user’s profile page. It’s an attempt to mess with AI scrapers.

As if recall wasn’t bad enough.

I mean, joke’s on them, Lemmy doesn’t have accrual of karma so there’s nothing to really “farm” using an LLM.

Guess we’re all gonna ignore all the drama about LTT from last year?

Saying he’s the one who breaks is an understatement.

It’s especially fun in corporate IT.

“What do you mean user: [me] already has it open? I’ve never been in this folder in life, and I just rebooted!”

Or when it says it’s open by a former employee with a disabled account.

If it’s on a network share, you also can’t rely on the normal tricks with process monitor and the like to look for locks locally.

It’s one thing I’ll praise about using office documents with OneDrive and (Azure based) Sharepoint in a well configured corporate setting: Microsoft finally caught up to Google Doc’s collaboration functionality, and it handles “merge conflicts” fairly well for other file types (add the machine name as a suffix to the file name, keep both copies, and give a big warning message).

Even not super kinky, there’s positions and such that would be easier without those pesky legs in the way.

That’s bitch baby mode. Just use MASgrave to fake activation/license. No need for that silly workaround every time.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of bullshit with MS’s push for this shit, but I really don’t agree with the collective freakout about it.

There’s plenty of options. Many desktop mobos and CPUs support TPM2 through bios or firmware updates. Other desktop mobos have TPM headers and the modules go for $12-$30, but you have to track down the specific module compatible with your mobo as there is no standard pinout, even within the same manufacturer. There’s also one PCIE TPM2 card I found, but it’s from a company I don’t recognize and their site has no purchase button, just “contact us”, so that doesnct check out as legit to me.

Lastly, TPM2 has been a standard since 2015, with most manufacturers including it starting in 2016. At some point you have to accept that certain experiences will be unavailable to you without upgraded hardware. 10 years out of a computer before you start hitting hard limitations like this is a fucking great amount of life out of it. Like has always been the case, once it hits a certain age you either accept the lack of support or start going down the technical path with Linux to extend the life further.

Yes, leave me alone.
