😂 Elon Musk just crawled from under a rock and discovered something that has been bothering people for years. It is just too funny not to share this one.

Just buy the company and change it yourself Elon!

Whats the matter, are you too poor to buy a widdle software company?

You used to be able to look at twitter with out an acount but who killed that?

Someone didn’t buy the pro or above version.

This dude is just a meme now a 44$ billion meme

Just tried to post to Xwitter. It won’t let me use it unless I create a Xwitter account. Which also means letting twitter cookes and algorithms track me across their site and push media at me.

Hypocrite. Doesn’t matter if it’s AI or algorithms, the end result is the same.

There used to be a way to browse Twitter without signing in.

It doesn’t give AI access to your computer, I really hope Lemmy users aren’t taking Elon’s comments at face value now.

It’s sad that I can’t tell if fake or not fake

Crazy fact: when someone bought a car from you second-hand, they didn’t have to register with the car maker and have an account…

You’d think a tech “genius” would know how to install Linux. I don’t even use Linux and I know there’s plenty of resources to help you do it.

local man who wants to own the internet experiences what that would be like for users, doesn’t like it, learns nothing. more at 11

You definitely can still do it without a Microsoft account, it’s just not as obvious as before.

lol, this fella could fart and someone would post it up on the Internet

I just want to thank you for sharing twitter as an image, instead of linking to it. It’s amusing how much more usable an image is.

Does he not know how to do a quick search online?

You’re allowed to use Linux without setting up an account

How could one of the very tech gods of the planet Earth not have noticed this until now?

seriously he must be an alien who climbed out from under a rock.

Oh wait. It’s probably not even him.

Don't connect the computer to the Internet before you complete setup. If you did already...

Shift F8 during setup OOBE\BYPASSNRO

If that doesn't work, use IPCONFIG /RELEASE to break your Internet connection, then it will relent and let you setup without a Microsoft account.

Guy who bought corporations and took credit for their ideas doesn’t know how to tool around with Windows on a laptop

Oh lord don’t let him discover linux. Quick, somebody send him a macbook, pronto!

Why is giving AI access to your computer a problem, Elon?

Just enter “admin” in the textbox for the Microsoft account. You’re welcome. If Elon pass by, thanks to mention it cames from Lemmy.

Yeah! Not cool Microsoft!

It’s not like I can’t watch anything on Twitter without an account so I can get tracked and now also Nitter is dead!Shame on you Microsoft! Shame on you!

Imagine if the account thing were true, a normal person might think hiding Twitter behind an account would also be obnoxious.

says the man who sells cars with software-gimped features of the people who gave him the idea

i only just found out this was a thing a few weeks ago, when my partner got a new laptop. i haven’t been living under a rock, but i have been using linux exclusively for around a decade, which may have similar effects.

I actually agree with him for once.

Because this is the stupid timeline, how long before Elon Musk becomes a huge and vocal open-source nerd and moves all Teslas onto GNU Hurd?

Elon is a fucking moron who can’t use Google to find the simple work around.

He should use a Chromebook instead. 😂😂

I can’t decide if I’m more shocked that this implies he isn’t upgrading his PC every year, or that he’s setting them up himself.

Windows 11 has this co-pilot thing which seems to be an AI although it doesn’t appear to have access to the laptop. Although this is a work computer so I don’t know if that’s just due to security restrictions.

No@thankyou.com then for the password anything you want then it lets you make a local account
