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.


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.
