    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”?

          Go to the city’s website, they should still have that information accessable via government sites. Buried, but it should still exist.

            While true, the point is that Twitter does require sign in to view content, regardless of that information is elsewhere.

              Have you tried contacting your government for this issue? From my experience public services are often open about Mastodon once they realize it’s the same thing as Twitter, but accessible to everyone.

                I have not. I personally don’t live in a region where disaster notices are often necessary and I don’t have offspring that I have to care for that may be affected, so I’m not really the demographic for the service. I do hope more and more start branching out to the likes of Mastodon or maybe better yet, hosting their own instances.

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

    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.
