If they don’t have Hank saying this in the new season, I will be extremely disappointed
It’s simply what allows a web browser to run so it can act as an OS.
Fool, it’s not “your” computer, it’s Microsoft’s. You shall use it the way they deem best for you.
Sounds just like Apple.
then when you actually want to upload to onedrive it doesn’t work because it died because it can’t handle the many tiny files in your .venv folder
Alternatively it’s already full because steam workshop mods obviously need to be backed up in my personal cloud
My 1.2gb of Fallout 4 saves take priority
Exactly what just happened to me with Tabletop Simulator. Every single fucking Magic card that I or anyone I played with was saved.
Even better, I couldn’t delete the files to get rid of the low storage warning. Changing the directory TTS uses didn’t work. Deleting the folder didn’t work, no matter how much I tried, because clearly MS knows better and I must have done it by mistake. I had to log in and use their web interface just to fucking say “yes, delete it, yes, I fucking mean it.”
Not that I’m upset about it or anything.
I just turned off and uninstalled One Drive when I got Windows 11 and have had zero issues
I just turned off and uninstalled windows when I got Windows 8 and have had zero issues.
You never have issues with OneDrive unless you accidentally forget to remove it. People lose files because of this shit.
How do people lose files by having them backed up and version controlled in the cloud exactly?
I have no idea, ask Microsoft employees.
They don’t, was the point I’m making.
Well, at least it’s not ChromeOS. Yet.
saves files where I like with Nautilus
@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.
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.
Wait, people have one drive installed?
Yea. I use it daily so I can share files between my PCs without any thought.
You can use Samba, its built into windows to locally share a file to another conputer ovet LAN

on a related note, NEVER expose SMB to the internet. It is HORRIBLY insecure. you will get crypto’d in minutes.
If you (or anyone reading this) are ever looking to decloud, you can set up Syncthing in a OneDrive-like setup
-
Create a Syncthing share between your computers at %userprofile%\Syncthing
C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing
and verify the share works between windows systems. -
Create the shared system folders in it: %userprofile%\Syncthing[library folder]
C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing\Desktop C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing\Documents C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing\Pictures -
Open explorer, go to [My Computer/This PC], right-click on the appropriate system folder (Windows has system folders for: 3D Objects, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos), go to Properties (under ‘more’ for Win11), select Location, and either manually enter or use the move button to select the new location. On pressing apply, you can also use the prompt to move the folder contents between locations (yes on the first PC, but manual for others if you might clobber files)
I considered setting up Syncthing since I have a server running 24/7 at home. My biggest concern would be around opening more ports and potentially exposing myself further. I guess I trust Microsoft with my data as do many other corporations. If Microsoft or AWS had a data leak of epic proportions then I honestly don’t know what might happen to technology
I relaxed a bit after I realized that - unless you’re paying for HIPPA grade privacy (or similar), Google/Microsoft/Amazon index your data so hard, it may as well be leaked. So a failure to protect my data is at worst the same as hosting in the cloud.
(Probably still better - if someone made a torrent of my personal data, it probably wouldn’t be popular - if 300 downloaded it, it would still be less then the ~800+ advertisers Google will just freely give my information to, barring some kind of Streisand effect)

Yea I’ve found that if you take the experiences you have on Lemmy and then just invert it, then it will give you a more accurate estimation of reality.
That explains why Kamala lost.
This is gold, Jerry. GOLD
I have two
Windows has always failed to include a libre software license text file. We have never controlled it, anti-libre software.
Software controlled by a 3rd party is an agent of that 3rd party.
Here we go again… It is in your documents folder, on your own computer, that is in your house. It is also monitored by the cloud, just like your phone; no complaints there. Why are people so stupid that they don’t realize this?
Isn’t the cloud OneDrive? So, this is what they don’t want.
Because no one wants their OS constantly scraping every file on their computer computer to find better ways to exploit you under the guise of “oh we are just backing this up to the cloud for you.” We paid for software, stop using users as a data source to sell to marketers. I can back up data to my NAS like an adult.
I figured out like 2 days ago that you can right click the OneDrive warning in the file explorer and choose to dismiss it!
Debian pleases the Omnissiah far more than Windows
