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.
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.
But we need to harvest your data for…reasons
Otherwise our profits might suffer! Wouldn’t that be terrible?
I also love how the safe prompts in office 365 are putting “this computer” in quotation marks.
I remember when it was C:/ then it became “this computer” and stuff, to make you forget you have hardware at all or so I feel.
If Microsoft could make you lease your computer and turn it into a terminal, they absolutely would.
