I hate Admiral so much. Just be glad this site didn’t disable the bypass link.
It’s a corgi, so I think those peglegs are serving more as platform shoes than prosthetic legs.
Huh, an actual joke.
I say daymon for daemon but that’s mostly because the only time I’m talking about daemons is in the context of computers, and not the archaic or “fancy” spelling for demon.
I’m not saying it would’ve been a masterpiece, it just would’ve been a lot more enjoyable.
I think 11 would’ve been a lot better if it had come out in 2021. In 2023 all of the COVID themes were really played out.
Hopefully 12 wasn’t written 3 years ago.
The bird.makeup instance is a one-way Twitter mirror, but it’s not always very reliable since Twitter keeps making it harder to use Twitter
Is Heathcliff just like a constant cycle of inside joke self-references or something?
I don’t think Microsoft can reasonably block opening the command prompt and bypassing the OOBE without breaking a lot of other things, but them removing the simpler workarounds is a pretty obvious attempt to get more people to sign in with a Microsoft account.
Microsoft does sync activation keys to your account but the license is also embedded in the firmware in recent prebuilt laptops and desktops, so you don’t need a Microsoft account to activate.
The article is talking about the initial setup experience, where you could put in a fake email to bypass the requirement to sign in with a Microsoft account.

This is a big stretch just to make a fat joke
I think you’re overthinking this, and extrapolating limited data way too far.
For one, of course historically rich countries are going to be hosting more technology. Tech is expensive, and less developed countries are called that because they’re less developed, which includes electricity grids, internet, economic power, and so on.
Another issue is that just because a Mastodon server is hosted in a particular country, doesn’t mean only people in or from that country can make an account there. Sure, there are some servers that want to keep their communities specific to their local area, but the vast majority have no restrictions. Anyone from anywhere can sign up.
If you’re trying to figure out how to make it so historically poor countries have the most servers instead, you’re going to have to figure out how to fund and manage infrastructure expansion.
It feels like you’re coming at this with the assumption of “every country has the resources to spin up hundreds of social media servers, but they’re just not interested”, which is kind of a weird conclusion to come to after recognizing the historical impact of colonialism and the privilege differences it’s led to.
