<p>SwervingLemon: Reply</p> <hr /> <div>I cannot deny, the &quot;dark patterns&quot; section definitely feels a bit inflammatory, though I'm curious to know if other seconds are a bit inflammatory [[User:JamesTDG|JamesTDG]] ([[User talk:JamesTDG|talk]]) 15:30, 17 January 2025 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Agree, I added the ToneWarning because the whole page seemed 'off' -Keith<br /> <br /> :Any ideas on how to tone the rest of the page down? I know we'd need to get the attention of the &quot;dark patterns&quot; author to know the intent before we clean that section up. [[User:JamesTDG|JamesTDG]] ([[User talk:JamesTDG|talk]]) 16:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)<br /> :As an aside - the dark pattern is no longer as much a problem as latest ISO images of the installation media don't even allow for creating a local account, ''even without internet access'', and will happily inform you that you need to connect to the internet to create or link your MicroSoft account.<br /> :It's now necessary to open a powershell window and execute a command to skip the Out-Of-Box-Experience, sequence-breaking the onboarding process and restart the installer in order to create a local account without having to log into a microsoft account ''first''.<br /> :Initially, you could install windows and a local account was a freely selectable choice. After 22, you had to start the installer with no internet availability and it would then offer you the choice of a local account, albeit hidden behind a couple of clicks. Now, it's not even an option without some hackery.<br /> :I think I have some old ISO images around that I could try, to better demonstrate the dark pattern that ''was'' present, though. [[User:SwervingLemon|SwervingLemon]] ([[User talk:SwervingLemon|talk]]) 21:13, 29 May 2025 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I reached out to Ixus directly by e-mail. Hoping to get some more information, as IMO the issue isn't tone but a lack of details. [[User:Skatche|Skatche]] ([[User talk:Skatche|talk]]) 00:19, 27 January 2025 (EST)<br /> <br /> ==Dark patterns section==<br /> <br /> Is it even worth keeping tbh, I was looking for sources and its a barely talked about topic, could just be worth scrapping altogether even after I fixed some of the language.<br /> <br /> :Perhaps remove most of the text from this page, and spin it out as a stub incident page?</div>
