what does this even mean?
Apparently, Microsoft is allowing you to use your Google Gmail account to sign in to Edge instead of a Microsoft account, and they are "considering" removing the forced Microsoft account requirement when signing into Windows 11 to set up the computer to begin with.
Big fucking whoop, but still.
It would be an ok question if the post wasn't an article link. Go read it.
There's literally no reason or justification whatsoever to be a jerk about things.
I offered you to read the article because this is what people do. And if you don't want to read the article, don't ask other people to chew the information up for you.
Is this not a place for conversation? Or do you use these spaces to show what a pretentious dipshit you are?
It’s okay, you can ask me anything you like about the article, everybody!
I’m not going to click some random link posted by someone who doesn’t even bother to utilize the description field when posting.
