saves files where I like with Nautilus

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

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.

They are not mutually exclusive. You can point OneDrive at any folder.

Debian pleases the Omnissiah far more than Windows

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 8 points 19 hours ago

Windows is the virus

One drive is really cheaper than Google one in many countries.

Also don't complain about having off-site backups, you will cry when you need them.

And certainly having one drive is better for your average non backup architecture oriented user than having no backup or worst, setting it up themselves to later find they never did it correctly

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?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 hours ago

Lots of people removed Windows without it coming back

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 12 points 22 hours ago (2 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.

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

This is such a pile of cheap elitism. So, the very need to figure out how to remove what you didn't ask for does not bother your club of computer geniuses?

[–] frankpsy@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

No, same thing here.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

Shout out to Kera desktop

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

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

For me it was Windows 7

Then they came out with Metro Ui so I went back

Then they got rid of it so I went back to Linux

In the 90s I didn’t really have a main one

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.

It's becoming more and more a subscription services hub and ad platform.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 77 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

By now it's a sloperating system full of slopvertisement and slopware

sloperating system

Also, with the foisted AI integration, this is just a brilliant way to describe things right now.

As a Linux person forced to use OneDrive at work, OneDrive sucks in almost every capacity. Why would I pay MS for a service that fails at its core objectives?

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.

Fool, it's not "your" computer, it's Microsoft's. You shall use it the way they deem best for you.
