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.

Windows is the virus

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?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

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.

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah. Needing to install using an MS account is a massively consumer hostile practice.

I see it as Microsoft saying: "this is what's best for you, you'll do things this way" and giving you absolutely no way to bypass it (unless you're like me or you... And know the tricks to do so).

"Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils" ...

Lots of people removed Windows without it coming back

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

No, same thing here.

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

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

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

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?

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

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Sounds just like Apple.

Debian pleases the Omnissiah far more than Windows

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago

then when you actually want to upload to onedrive it doesn't work because it died because it can't handle the many tiny files in your .venv folder

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago

Alternatively it's already full because steam workshop mods obviously need to be backed up in my personal cloud

My 1.2gb of Fallout 4 saves take priority

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.

I just turned off and uninstalled One Drive when I got Windows 11 and have had zero issues

And if you delete onedrive with stuff in it, you lose access to saved files so windows can’t be considered os

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