For anyone wondering, there are a few ways to install Windows 11 without creating a Microsoft account.

Probably the simplest — and one that I tested when I needed to do that — was just to give an invalid e-mail address when "creating" that Microsoft account; "elon@test.example" works well, because "example." is a well-known TLD that will never work, so the e-mail is guaranteed to be invalid.

Of course then the problem is that you still end up with Windows 11.

I've been seeing discussions lately around the YouTube fascism algorithm [not directed at me] implying that if you get those suggestions it's because that's material you have sought out.
Not true.

It's been studied and repeatedly shown--like a vehicle w/poor alignment--suggestions will drift to the right pretty quickly.
To "never" get them, you must
a) be outside targeted demographics AND
b) not look at DIY, repair, survivalism, building, cooking, sewing, politics, animal husbandry, automotive

Maaaaaan, I do not miss the times when I was developing customer-hosted software. With the shitty SaaS model, we can at least crank up the number of nodes and Bob's your uncle, with the self-hosted software we just had to do the most pedantic microoptimizations because the customer was hosting the thing on an overcooked potato.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick" is not just a piece of diplomacy advice, but it also applies when you want to play with the doggy

So, in Polish, a guide dog is called "pies przewodnik", but "przewodnik" is also used to describe an electrical conductor. So, I sometimes joke that my dog is an "insulator dog"
