Just started getting this now. Hopefully it's some A/B testing that they'll stop doing, but I'm not holding my breath

As someone with technical knowledge sometimes I get locked out of things because I block ads or refuse Javascript. For instance, I had to turn off my pihole so I could sign into my Microsoft account to play Minecraft. Or the times I encounter a website that breaks on Firefox.

The Microsoft Minecraft login thing is getting pretty insane.

The worst part was that it just showed a black window, with no controls or indication of what was wrong. Thankfully this sort of thing happens so often my first reaction is to turn off my pihole for a few minutes.

If you're getting locked out of those things, those things are not worth using

I'm pretty sure my divorce lawyer's document management system is something that's worth using even if I have to use chrome and disable ad blocking.

I mean, of course, but that's a little out of the realm of your control. Minecraft isnt lol

Sometimes people need to play minecraft with their nephews or nieces. Trust me, it's necessary and very much worth it.

I play Minecraft with my kids, but I don't use a Microsoft account for it. Just PollyMC and host my own server.

Unfortunately not. Some things just don't work on Firefox no matter how hard you try.

[-] tee9000@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

What did she use? Chrome?

This is my stance.

Like, the cost of doing business is jumping through stupid ass hoops. If you don't want to do that, don't join? Or be okay with doing funky ass work arounds.
