I hate Admiral so much. Just be glad this site didn’t disable the bypass link.
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.
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.
Ad blockers aren’t going to help with this.
James Charles though?
My server is set to power on after losing and retaining power, but it’s not super reliable if the power only flickers (or flickers a lot in a short period of time), so I have a smart plug. If my server’s offline, I just toggle it and it’s back after a few minutes.

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.
It looks like Jerboa is forcing HTTPS. It’s using the Markwon library for parsing markdown, and a custom ForceHttpsPlugin
is installed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/blob/19be714fe08eaff6d2f616aa3da1b82df81a1d84/app/src/main/java/com/jerboa/ui/components/common/MarkdownHelper.kt#L93.
I mean technically it’s possible to have different sites on http:// and https://, since the conventional ports are different (80 and 443), but it’d be a pretty weird thing to do.
Edit: I just visited the links and the http:// one does indeed go to an xkcd-style site, while https:// has some dogecoin tracker with a broken SSL certificate.
Edit again: the SSL certificate is for dogecoinaverage.com, so I have a feeling this person just misconfigured their nginx or Apache instance.
Yet another edit: the maintainer’s Mastodon is linked on the xkcd site, which links to their GitHub, which includes the source for the Dogecoin average site: https://github.com/Two9A/dogecoin-average. Definitely just a weird misconfiguration.
