Just like no one wants to sign into Twitter to read one tweet.

Ugh... I guess it's time to dust off this classic:

This just in: broken clock is right twice a day.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not if broken because it's missing the hands

He's literally wrong. You can set up windows 11 devices without a sign in.

While being wrong about this, the idiot forces sign in to use twitter...

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

Wow, I wonder about his opinion on stubbing your toe.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Cool yeah, no one wants to have to log in with a Twitter account either.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who gives a fuckingdickleshit about this asshole

[–] Haha@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No one. These are just bots shilling.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Everyone is a bot.

Even you ...

How about we go a step further and say that I don't want to have to sign into ANY online account to access my computer.

If I disconnect my Ethernet cable, I can still log in and get work done. That should be the absolute MINIMUM that is expected of any operating system.

Linux is sometimes a royal pain in the ass, but it's for precisely that reason that it's important that it and Foss options like it are supported.

No one wants to log in to look at twitter posts either

No one wants to ~~log in to~~ look at twitter posts either

[–] NoiseColor@startrek.website 15 points 2 years ago

Not really a contraversial opinion.

[–] beirut_bootleg@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

Wow so bold!

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Buy Microsoft you fucking coward

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The entire global economy is held together by Excel. No thank you

[–] RmDebArc_5@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

You mean Xcel?

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 5 points 2 years ago

We still have COBOL and AS400. We'll be fine!

I'd be happy. But too late to make Windows 10's name Windows X, so it probably won't happen.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He can rename it Windows X11 and piss off everyone

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago
[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I also hate having to login every 10 minutes to another windows password shit because hey it's secure!

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Oh shit now Elon is going to try to buy all of Linux.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'm going to log in with a burner Microsoft account on unactivated Windows 11 to spite both assholes.

[–] ctobrien84@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't have to. It isn't required. I setup end points everyday with local users.

[–] butter@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Business class is a different license. Likely enterprise or volume.

It requires some registry or command line crap to deal with it on consumer grade Windows.

This shithead posts the stupidest shit and people make it viral.

I understand how people are fucked up about that

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait until he uses Geforce Experience.. oh boy. Every time it makes me log in AND THEN VERIFY MY EMAIL.

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Luckily AMD cards (and their control software) don't have this requirement.

[–] SaltySalamander@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I legit haven't used GFE since they began requiring a login to use it.

[–] nac82@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's an idiot. You don't have to sign in to windows 11 to set it up, I literally do this daily. Not to mention corporate computers shouldn't be seeing the personal computer sign in screen to begin with unless it's in the hands of IT like me who would know what to do with it.

There used to be a skip button until about a month ago. Now, you just have to input bad creds and move forward.

Unlike Twitter, which actually locks down most of its site without an account...

Idiot just doesn't like getting called out for his idiocy and hypocrisy.

[–] General_Shenanigans@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, there’s no way Elon wants a machine with a company image on it.

He probably bought a Win11 S-mode laptop, not knowing what that was.

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Peak journalism

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Diotima@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

To be fair, the option is pretty easy to miss for someone who isn't technical. Font size -11000 and grwy or whatever, though I might exaggerate.

No. Its pretty easy to work around. He just went right to twit to be a special baby boy.

[–] Jayb151@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You could just put in a made up email and pass. I personally go with 123@fake.com
