Yea, kinda. It forces it hard though.

There is no obvious way to skip the MS account. You can select that it is a managed device and create a local user that way, but afaik that’s the last option left and obviously it is there for a very different intention.

I am sure that if MS could remove it completely they would.

Yes, you are correct. That’s not a solution, but leaves all options open and everything is voluntary.

I don’t believe there is a satisfactory solution for everyone at once, so I don’t think you can do any better than this.

This is just clickbait.

I watched the video and he is missing the point by trying to be in the center of the debate. There is either discrimination or acceptance and not much of a middle ground.

Points 1-5 are obvious and nobody should be confused about any of that. Of course he is right here and water is wet.

6 is actually a real problem, but it cannot be solved. Either you discolose it yourself which either leads to outing or staying in the closet or people assume for you which also leaves you in the closet. In my groups we stopped asking about pronouns to not put anyone on the spot, but there is no satisfying solution to this problem.

Of course you can demand others to refer to you in a way, the same way you provide a name. It is very much a social expectation and here the video is missing the point. Either you respect the other person or discriminate them, there exists no middle ground. It is the same as refusing to use their name. There is also no distinction if you disrespect them to their face or behind their back (talking to others about them).

Yea, unless used degoratory I don’t think it is a big deal either. It is probably a cultural thing and I respect it.

Thinking more about it it would also be weird to call a woman female in my native tongue and could also only be used in a degoratory manner. We also have some older words which would be even worse.

No, I think I get it after putting some more thought into it.

I mean transfem and transmasc are common terms in trans communities. I assume it has nothing to do with trans people but a human female is called a woman hence calling women female is frowned upon. You call a female animal a female, but not a human usually.

There is some nuance in there I probably don’t fully understand either as a non native speaker.

The first time I had some salsa in a restaurant I was asking if they accidentally poured dish soap into it. It was inedible for me.

I only learned later that it was cilantro and that it is genetic.

I am still feeling sorry for the remark, but it was all I could taste and didn’t know any better.

Kinda. They still appear with a message telling you that they are blocked. You can press a button to show the comment anyway. It is like a soft block where you can decide whether you want to read a comment or not.

Of course not never, but not often enough to even recall once really.

It sounded like you are chewing on straws or so. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Teeth? You are using straws wrong. They are supposed to only touch your lips

Why? The answer is known. You can easily proof it by contradiction. Therefore the halting problem is unsolvable.

This solution actually provides some good insight into other problems and wether or not they are solvable. It is useful, even though the negative result might seem disappointing.

It’s laissez-faire. It took a few reads until I got it.

You probably need to enable NSFW posts in your profile. It is disabled by default.
