This bullshit was basically my first experience with Windows 11 when I got a new PC last year. Literally, "Why is my internet so slow? What's this OneDrive thing? Oh, holy shit fucking stop Jesus Christ!"

Just automatically started uploading everything on my hard drive to an account I didn't set up, without even a prompt telling me it was happening, and no obvious way to make it stop. I didn't even know Windows had added a cloud storage option. I actually had to completely uninstall OneDrive to finally make it stop.

I might have liked having a native backup service in Windows if it was like, "Hey look at this handy cloud storage tool we've added to Windows! Would you like to pick some files to save?" But as it is, it might as well just be another piece of spyware.

There's a big long list of reasons why I hate Windows 11, but this OneDrive shit is the thing that's making me think maybe it's time to ditch Windows for good.

I once turned that feature on thinking it was an actual backup (copies of my files in the cloud), I remember how angry I was when I found out it wasn't a backup after all and just removed your files from your computer and only made them accessible online.

First recall, then getting rid of local accounts, and now this.

Might shift back to Linux now.

"By involuntarily uploading your data to onedrive you also agree for it to be used in training AI models"

Microsoft is getting desperate to steal your IP so they can train their AI.

Can someone sue the living shit out of them and start setting precedents please and thanks.

The c-levels are really sick of all these new features they're adding and no one is using them because of silly reasons like "they don't work good" or "I can't even see the point of this for me".

In their wisdom, they've taken the option to say no away from the users. Now they have a much easier time justifying their bonus this year, just look at how many users are using their new features!

This has to be a massive GDPR violation?

Just a heads up, Windows 11 IoT LTSC is out, and it has none of M$'s bullshit you read about weekly. It can be tricky to find the .iso, so it would be a real shame if people wasted their time looking for it @ massgrave.dev

bullshit like this is getting worse and worse and is why i moved away from windows.

How to speed run your entire user base into hating you.

Wtf is Microsoft doing?

For starters, bulk copying a person's documents without their approval sounds like mass copyright violation.

windows 11 has a onedrive sync service that is almost impossible to disable even with group policy and all that.

I tried to make a clean image of the OS that could be booted from the network. never again.

also these idiots made onedrive folders mimic the original documents folder, also setting default to onedrive folder, so when i search for the downloaded content in my profile, documents i just WTF as its empty...

At this point, Microsoft is becoming an advertisement for Linux.

Microsoft Data Theft as a Service

Had this happen to me some time ago. I hated it so much.

Win10 ending, copilot and this shit. Finally pushed me over. Going to order a new ssd and install mint on my main rig.

So, yeah. What's a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?

So how many Windows refugees will end up fleeing to the Kingdom of Torvalds?

I just turned it off as it kept bitching about the storage being full.

I don't need you bish, fuck off.

How does anyone put up with using that OS? It’s 2024, it’s time to move on. Sheesh

And this is why nobody trusts windows
