I’m not saying its going to happen quickly… But filtering in many forms has been tried in the past and they all died similarly. Some vocal group gets inconvenienced by it and then, under scrutiny, the blemishes get paraded out and the project dies a slow ugly death.

The actual reason for the push right now is meta (among others) just want to wash their hands of the responsibility… And that aligns with some tech bros wanting to hoover up peoples ids and resell that info. The whole thing will sour once there’s a significant leak that ties risk into that bottom line and nobody will want to carry it.

It pains me to say I do - hah. The south park movie bit on it was perfect.

As someone who spent my formative days figuring out how to bypass early digital locks my school was putting in place to “protect us” … The system loses this game. Every time. You are taking kids with nothing but time, no apparent drawbacks, and everything to gain… And placing them against “good enough” implemented by people who could give two shits about it.

This will continue to lose until they twist the knobs too tight and hit false positive central… And oops now the populace hates it. Control for thee is fine until its for me.

Tale as old as technology itself.

We do not steal hats. We share them. We teach fraternity and knowledge. We are balance. We are believers in open and free markets. We remain curious, unbridled, and fly no colors.

In time: we may be the only capable navigators of a sea rife with giants and uncouth countries.

We privateers may well be stealing history back from those who would destroy it.

Yo ho my hearties.

Take what you can …

Making your own is absolutely awesome and might I recommend this guy to get you started: Brad Leone - somewhat related: do be aware that botulism will fuck your shit up if you play fast and loose with homemade stuff. Store / prepare stuff as recommended.

And remember: losers complain about woulda and coulda. Winners clear the jam and finish the job.

Most “bypasses” are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content… Etc.

Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os… Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.

Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers… While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You’d think they’d know better.
