A new patch is being quietly pushed to Windows 10 (and 11) PCs

This update will mean more nag prompts coming to your PC

The nagging to pay for the OneDrive subscription is something I would only see on trashy websites full of ads. I guess that’s what Windows has become.

A trashy website full of ads, that’s the most accurate description of Windows indeed. Nice.

I figured to turn on one drive for my business user account as I was using two computers.

Then I decided, that I didn’t want it to sync the documents folder since I don’t really use it.

The settings told me that it can’t stop syncing the desktop, pictures, or documents folders because they had critical files or something like that.

I just signed out of OneDrive and the problem was solved.

If it was so critical why does everything work after signing out?

I fucking hate using windows.

Google is the same. Every time I open the stock gallery app instead of the FOSS one it nags me to enable backups for my photos. And I know if I do I will be forced to pay their subscription.

Well you won't be forced, but they will take your gmail hostage since all Gapps share the same 15gb now.

What gallery app do you use that is FOSS?
