Just like no one wants to sign into Twitter to read one tweet.
I mean, I don’t like that either but it doesn’t affect links to tweets.
Single tweets are rarely useful without being able to read some context that isn’t visible without logging in.
It does however affect getting updates from government agencies, and others who insist on only disseminating real-time information to the public via Twitter.
For instance: https://twitter.com/WakaKotahiWgtn
This is the account for traffic events (road closures, traffic accidents, etc) in my city. Not signed in, the latest visible post is from February 2023.
Since I don’t have a twitter account, this is now functionally useless.
the latest visible post is from February 2023
If you scroll down far enough, there are posts from March and August, but they were “less popular” tweets. Incredibly annoying move by twitter. Who wants to regularly view tweets sorted by “Top All Time”?
This just in: broken clock is right twice a day.
I only keep twitter installed so I can check service outages.
Why do I need a twitter account to do that?
Who gives a fuckingdickleshit about this asshole
Enough fucking Musk spam, we already know this. We didn’t need some rich jackass to validate this.
and at the same time he only lets you use twitter with an account and killed thirdparty apps on mobile.
The more funny part of this statement is he’s too fucking dumb to Google “set up windows 11 without Microsoft account” and follow exactly 3 steps to bypass the OOBE wizard.
They break whatever process people use whenever they feel like it.
Whether the loopholes are incompetence or just for the sake of them being able to claim “you don’t need an account”, they definitely aren’t stable and consistent options. And it’s pretty clear that at some point they’re going to cross the line and just make you have an account.
What? Ctrl+F10 for Command Prompt and then
oobe\bypassnro
has always worked, and I don’t see Microsoft removing it anytime soon. Who do you think put thebypassnro.bat
script in theOOBE
directory on every Windows installation media?
Hmm yes
