Basic OSR Principles

On December 29th, 2024 daseinphil asked on bluesky:

"This might be an overly broad question, but: does anyone have specific advice on encouraging #osr style play in a group used to 5e #dnd? I’m thinking specifically of how to encourage creative problem solving, and thinking beyond spells and abilities as buttons to press."

I did my best to blunder through some answers, and a few folks have asked that I collect all of my replies here for posterity.
