Says the guy that makes it nigh impossible to use Twitter without an account. The guy just stays a complete fucking hypocrite.

Naw, you do the same thing for both X and Windows, stop using them.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Sure, but that doesn’t make him any less of a hypocrite

It's a real dumb requirement. And is just one of the many dumb things Microsoft has been doing with Windows that has lead me to no longer using it on several of my devices. I have been pleasantly surprised with how easy the transition has been to Linux Mint.

So, do you have to have an account to drive a Tesla?

[–] eleitl@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yes. But you don't even own it.
