Copilot has determined that it’s better to save your files in OneDrive.
Oops, one of your jpegs violates Disney’s copyright.
Authorities have been notified and your Microsoft account was deactivated.
All your files are gone, your email account is gone, your Windows PC will shut down now.
I swear, at my next job I’ll ask for a Mac. We were forced to switch to windows 11 by our outsourced IT MSP, at my current job and it wasn’t pretty.
If I can help it my future windows experience will be spinning up a VM on my proxmox host, and killing it off after use. No personal files will be going on there.
But we need to harvest your data for…reasons
Otherwise our profits might suffer! Wouldn’t that be terrible?
If you don’t control your data you don’t control your data… The cloud is just someone else’s computer… Back up your shit and keep some of those backups offsite but keep everything under your own control…
Debian, LMDE, Suse, Fedora, whatever. Just pick one and go for it.
Steam Cloud: You dumb bitch.
I’ve got it disabled and in offline mode and it still yells at me that it can’t sync saves with the cloud.
Yeah, I fucking know, that was the idea.
Are you worried about a copy of your saved games in the cloud? I’ve had mine on for years and it makes moving to a new computer super easy.
Aside from not liking being dependent on a internet connection in the first place and tinfoil hat stuff, it was doing something weird with a partition on my old computer so I just disabled the whole thing and didn’t look back.
The biggest irony in all of this is that the integration is so much better on Mac than windows. I think it’s because it’s less aggressive/less ingrained but the one drive,m365, whatever integration on my work Mac is night and day better than the windows machine I had.
I couldn’t stand it. And don’t get me started on team’s weird SharePoint backend or whatever the fuck they have going on.
Remember SharePoint is just Visual SourceSafe for documents, with a bad editor .
Anyone who’s worked with VSS will have the PTSD to know what’s going to happen. We don’t know when you’re going into lose eveything, but we know it’ll happen. MS rolling their own bad CVS is like MS rolling their own email infrastructure.
Part of it is Apple putting the smack down on cloud storage and forcing them to all go to the same place, which is ~/CloudStorage/<>, and follow some semblance of a standard. They don’t get to do whatever the hell they want on OSX. People can hate Apple all day, I get it, but some things I appreciate, even if it is super irritating at first.
I have PTSD flashbacks of SharePoint and the ten step process we had to use to interact with it. Then in literally every meeting, “why didn’t you read the SharePoint file on that?”
Ha. For a long time, Sharepoint would always ask me to log in, even though I had successfully logged into my laptop and was on the VPN and all of that. I finally called the help desk, and they couldn’t figure it out, so they contacted their Sharepoint support, and they couldn’t figure it out either.
Eventually, I needed a new laptop…and that fixed the problem.
I am presently working on a presentation for a group of people with average age 57. I need them to start storing files online. My options are windows shared folders, which requires a domain joined PC, of which I have a single loaner for about 80 people, and a VPN connection … or SharePoint, fml, fuck my life ever so badly.
Alternatively you could go with the email exchange system
