I always appear offline, and only open it a few times a day, or when needed to send a message or start real-time collaboration. Ideally I'd always appear online, but there is no way to do that with Slack. Basically I don't want my perceived presence to be a signal for others to message or avoid messaging me. I've explained my usage to my team, and expressed a preference for scheduled synchronous communication over asynchronous communication.

This never would have occurred to me. What can one do for their brain to make this kind of lateral leap? Seems like it would be helpful in the debugging and comedy parts of my life.
It's probably experience in this case. Correlating clue texts and finding a common word that has an alternate meaning is not a new challenge in online riddles. And the author seems very aware of the usual tricks. Also not pictured: all the things he did try that were not the inteded meaning of the text.
I think this one is just about context. If you know about HTTP then it becomes clear, if that isn't on your mind it isn't. I have been following through a book on TLS and HTTPS so it is very on my mind.
Thinking I was born 3 years earlier than I was. Forgetting how to read maps. Higher anxiety causing her to ask me to drive dangerously slowly, and in so doing revealing she didn't know the speed limit on that category of road. Forgetting to renew her road tax (I have no idea how she wasn't fined for that, given the rest of the family noticed this six months after it was due).
This was not experience when I installed Sonoma on an M2 MBP a few months ago. Enrollment was easily skipped by blocking connection to the enrollment server.
I don't have any special MDM creds, but I do have an admin account on my OS.
Probably not the avg user or engineer (though giving engineers admin account on their local OS is common). But that's hard to predict because usually you'd want to enroll, so I don't often see people trying to avoid it. Usually it's because of a bug. In my experience if the MDM process is buggy then it's more likely to be bypassable.
Setting a firmware password and blocking boot to external drives makes it harder, but a lot of orgs don't do it.
Last instructions I saw and tested said "install Monterey with no internet connection, open terminal, sudo nano /etc/hosts, add these three entries, save, close, upgrade to Sonoma".
That fully disabled MDM/DEP on an M2 MBP. Not sure if it would periodically ping after install/upgrade, but is about as clean as it gets, and for now survives OS upgrades.
It checks again unless the user cripples the service (which requires access to disable System Integrity Protection), and even if they do it will be undone after am update. But it requires the user to accept the enrollment (just a couple clicks on a pop up). I don't know that that can be changed.
During OS install the enrollment will just happen; the user's acceptance is not required.
You can zero route a few DNS entries at your router, and be fine, and then if you want, edit /etc/hosts. I've seen this work with Sonoma through multiple upgrades.
Were you procrastinating when you wrote this?
