And because someone is going to say “Just use Linux”, believe me, I’d love to, but the user experience sucks for literally anyone who isn’t a software developer and the accessibility has actually gotten worse over the 15 years I’ve tried to use it.

Don’t listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.

If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: https://fedoraproject.org/kde/

Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn’t realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.

but does that still work when resetting?

Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it’ll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says “I don’t have internet”. Click that and make your local account.

If it doesn’t work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I’ve made had me do it twice.

Hey I just want to let you know that my user tag that I put on your account a couple of weeks ago continues to prove itself lol

Pakistan literally sold them the uranium enrichment technology bruh.

Even ignoring the ridiculousness of this comment, they got their jumpstart thanks to their immediate neighbor.

I’m starting to think this whole setup was just a move by Pakistan to get KSA to pay off their loans in exchange for PAF’s pilots and fighters lol: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/11/pakistan-sends-fighter-jets-to-saudi-arabia-amid-fragile-us-iran-ceasefire

Iran and US were already aware of eachother’s demands, I don’t think they had any high hopes for a successful negotiation, especially since the contending point was Israel following through.

They even made up marketing fanfare for it like this was some kinda special convention and not literally a heated negotiation over an active war: https://www.reddit.com/r/policymarket/comments/1shoo63/the_world_is_watching_and_the_world_is_hopeful/

I said it as a half joke, but I think Iran should swap their missile tech with NK for fuel enrichment.

NK, Iran, and Libya allegedly got their initial enrichment tech from Pakistan. Only NK was able to successfully follow through, and they too allegedly swapped their missile tech for the cylinders lol.

While I’m glad there seems to be genuine development behind these peace talks, I’m also personally disappointed watching Shebaz Sharif and Asmin Munir get recognized for doing literally anything of value.

The PM is from a long family history of corrupt PMLN members who got rich off of strangling Pakistan’s economy and investing their illegal earning abroad.

And the FM (Field Marshal, not foreign minister) promoted himself to Field Marshal after getting the PAF to do all the actual military work last year while he spent his resources cracking down on the public and placing his photo on every poster in the country.

Oh and he had a ton of people assasinated, jailed, tortured, “disappeared”, and “software updated” for supporting the previous PM who has been in jail since 2023 under falsified corruption charges.

They’re already acting like this is some grand slam success for doing nothing but forwarding messages between Iran and the USA, all whilst technically being at war with Afghanistan only because Trump demanded revenge after the Taliban refused to give access to the Bagram Airfield again.

I wonder if Iran played off of Trump’s ego and he promised he would get Israel on board, thereby not having to negotiate with Israel who would be the least likely to accept any terms beyond complete surrender.

Trump seems keen on wanting an out while declaring victory, especially after the special ops drop in Isfahan went wrong.

Israel will of course does not want any end to the war, so now it becomes a tussle on whether the US owns Israel or the Israel owns the US lol.

Field Marshal first.

PM gets whatever falls from the spit of his mouth

Trump doing more for dems than what dems are currently doing for themselves lol.

I already can’t wait for this community to flood my inbox about Newsom in 2028, and then cry when he inevitably loses to a revived zombie hitler in 2030.

No one who speaks German could be a killer!

If you’re in the US, bachelor degrees are pretty worthless lol.

Who needs low latency amirite

Bans and heavy moderation of content.

I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.

So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.

I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.

So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.

Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

I think its kind of dumb because the P-47 Thunderbolt was a high altitude interceptor/fighter that also happened to be good at ground pounding.

The A-10 is exclusively a ground pounder that becomes a sitting duck if it ever gets caught with its pants down.

Dunno why they copted a fighter name.

I wonder how badly this could have gone had Iran’s military been at their prime.

They used to have a seriously competent airforce which they could have easily transitioned into modern Chinese tech had they invested into it.

Even now without it, they have a bloody history of a war with Iraq in which they also had to defend with a terrible lack of parts and supplies.

I still feel bad that their successful hit on an F-35 didn’t result in a kill considering they had to hit it at close range with an IR missile.

Something something France light.

Also related but isn’t Canada super immigrant dense anyway? If you ignored the architecture, you could genuinely confuse some areas for South Asia lol.

I don’t think they actually will tbh

ICC cricket world cups are notorious for empty seats because they do the same thing where they only sell “premium” seats for ridiculous prices and pretend that the regular seats are sold out.

They’ll probably open up tickets a couple of days before the match because they know last minute people will still buy

Not necessarily for the humanity, more for the internet lolz.

Although considering Iraq’s history with their treatment of PoWs, it would probably be in Iran’s best interest to show they aren’t torturing or abusing the pilots in any capacity.

This is a good time to mention that one of the reasons solar is so popular in Pakistan is because it lets you bypass the insanely corrupt power companies which extorts everyone for access to electricity and pretends there’s a shortage of power by doing scheduled load shedding.
