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.

Over 50% of all adults are overweight here.

Every single meal has some form of pasta, potato or rice as a side unless you pick a salad and even then you get some complementary white bread when you eat out.

I always get weird looks when I am asking for more salad or vegetables and no frites.

Just check the menu of any random restaurant around you and look for any low carb option which is not a salad. It is really difficult where I live unless it is a tapas bar.

Ohh, that’s an interesting take! I guess for large parts of Asia it is a bit different. It is a problem in north America as far as I can tell and in Europe where I am from.

You are right with everything you say.

Still the consumption of carbs is too normalized. Many people believe that you should have carbs with every meal which is insane. Just look at any restaurant food, fast food and everywhere. Unless you are dieting you for sure don’t have to avoid carbs, but don’t seek them out either.

I believe this is the single biggest reason for the obesity problem. Most meals really shouldn’t have any added carbs, yet they do.

It depends on the meaning of amount. By volume no, you can continue to eat like always if you adjust the food itself.

Technically yes, it is a food restriction, but in the end it is especially a calorie restriction which is the important part.

You are absolutely correct though.

That’s a tough one. Proteins are a much more useful source of energy and nutrients here. There are limits though and then it doesn’t really matter how you get your calories.

So obviously carbs are cheap food and pack a lot of calories which might be beneficial in this scenario.

You are right. I can’t argue with that, but I would be careful with this as general advice.

In the end carbs are just sugars of different complexity. For example add some saliva to starch and you got glucose. Hence white bread, pasta and even potatoes are really bad for your blood sugar.

You don’t have to avoid them, but carbs are not necessarily part of a healthy and balanced diet. Their only benefit is that they are cheap sources of energy. If you don’t eat carbs the body has to use fat to metabolize sugar which works just as well.

It is useful to avoid carbs for a diet, because you can remove a lot of calories from any meal by replacing them with mostly vegetables without reducing the portion size at all. Also it helps with cravings a lot.

Don’t use “user” as your username. Use a personalized one, because it is much easier to identify and obviously it is a requirement in a multi user context.

If you share your logs pseudonymize them, but pick anything other than “user”, because it makes it confusing especially when dealing with pam, ssh etc.

Overall not great advise.

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.

That’s a difficult question to answer. My intuition tells me that it does not work, because 2 desktop sessions would fight with each other. The applications you export are managed by the local window manager therefore the concept of exporting a whole DE doesn’t really make sense. I don’t know the answer though and it’s just my guess.

What the other answer proposed might be possible though. Take another tty and launch another X session there. It can even be another DE than your primary one. There you can have your own session with its own windows etc. I know for sure that this does work, but you might run into problems if you use Nvidia (at least it was the case a few years ago).

X11 forwarding can be amazingly fast and due to its nature the integration is amazing. I mean that’s basically its whole purpose. If you can secure your network you can run it unencrypted for best results or over ssh if not.

If you need full desktop sharing VNC is probably the fastest of all solutions I tested. It’s barely not fast enough for games, but otherwise it does a great job.

If you can use containers always use containers as a rule of thumb. VMs are less efficient in almost every way and they add some unnecessary complexity.

For docker you basically only have to backup the persistent data. So in case of the docker setup you just have to backup the mounts and probably your compose file you are using. This probably also answers your third question already. Container files can be left alone and don’t need to be considered for backups as they should be stateless and can reside in their default location (/var/lib/docker/overlay2 or so by default).

Overall it is quite simple as you only really have to consider the mounts and the docker setup. The mounts you define and should be really obvious and the docker setup is just a few config files at most or just the compose file.

Elden Ring and Andor. Weird combination, but I’d give it a try!
