What is funny is who the hell wants to save to a Documents folder? People are used to that now, but a lot of people didn't like that either when it started.

OneDrive is a big part of why I finally made the switch.

For me, it's going to be the AI injected into the body without consent.

Microsoft recently charged my workplace the same price for a standalone licence for the old Office that has no AI, that it charges for the new AI infested one.

Am I the only person in the world that managed to delete the shit off of windows that I didn't want and never have it come back?

Even after updates?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 days ago (6 children)

No, the rest of us just stopped responding to these threads. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think.

The kinds of people who repost this meme over and over again, are the kinds of people who don't do updates, and the reason why updates are automatic by default on Windows. They don't know nor care to know what is going on with their os, they just have an idea of what they expect will happen, and when something different happens, they complain and post memes about it.

Of course, not every single person is like that, there are and always will be exceptions

The hard truth is that most people don't know and don't care what's running on their computer until it gets in their way.

Some of us have to do tech support for people stuck in these situations. I don't personally have problems with Onedrive but I'm also the type who is able to figure out installing Windows without a Microsoft account.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah. Needing to install using an MS account is a massively consumer hostile practice.

I see it as Microsoft saying: "this is what's best for you, you'll do things this way" and giving you absolutely no way to bypass it (unless you're like me or you... And know the tricks to do so).

"Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils" ...

No, same thing here.

Lots of people removed Windows without it coming back

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago

Windows is the virus

saves files where I like with Nautilus

I thought everyone turned it off after setting up windows

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

I sure did once I finally realized what was going on. It was a pain in the ass to do but I was able to do it. Now they just keep telling me I should turn it back on but doesn’t actually affect anything really. They’re just all “oh man you really should back up all your stuff! It’s a risk if you don’t! You should definitely do so with OneDrive!”

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

Apparently a lot of people find it so difficult to do that there are narratives that it is impossible.

Windows has always failed to include a libre software license text file. We have never controlled it, anti-libre software.

Debian pleases the Omnissiah far more than Windows

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's simply what allows a web browser to run so it can act as an OS.

One drive crashes every computer I work on. I thought it was just a problem with the computer I was using at the time, but my computer got upgraded to another, and it stopped for awhile and then the computer started crashing again.

Then I moved offices, and my OneDrive seems to have infected the new one, since as soon as I started using it, the other person who uses it said it started crashing. And then it started crashing for me. And the other person figured out if he closes One Drive right at startup, there are no problems. I did the same, and no problems. But the second the computer automatically starts One Drive (like if I try to open anything from TEAMS), the whole computer crashes.

One Drive is a goddamn plague.

@weird Same here, and although Linux is my daily driver, I do have a Windows VM and a dual boot that I use for gaming, but on those I create my accounts without a Microsoft account by removing the network connectivity first, and then if they get one drive installed anyway, I de-install it.

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago

I never really had an issue with OneDrive, it was always better than Google Drive and those are about the only two that offer decent support for things like Excel if I for some reason need to do a quick edit I can do it in the browser and otherwise I can just use the desktop applications.

Luckly there is a way to get OneDrive on Linux, heck pretty sure you can still mount the thing as a network drive if you really want to.

Windows is just crap with their BitLocker being default, needing an account AND making it really hard to remove secondairy or tertiary accounts that you might have used for something somewhere.

I switched to Linux mint and the only things I miss is that LibreOffice is just missing some features compared to MSOffice and that Proton doesn't have a desktop app for Linux. I don't even care that I lose some performance because of my Nvidia GPU.
