Hope it wasn’t something irreplaceable like your kid’s baby photos or anything lol.
To make things worse, if your kid’s baby photos get uploaded and wrongly trigger their CSAM AI scanner, then you get reported to the police as a pedophile, and your account gets nuked. Google was literally caught doing this, microsoft is probably doing the same.
Just more infinite wisdom of idiot nosy companies. this minute clip perfectly summarizes it
I’ve seen this exact image in a thread before and the circlejerk assured everyone this didn’t happen
You say it like it’s a bad thing but yes, I want my stuff to just work and my apps to just run after I download them… I don’t want to spend hours every other day or week during my limited free time troubleshooting why something doesn’t work. I already spend all day doing that in my work’s linux servers and my home server.
This is an issue with FOSS. If something doesn’t work then you are on your own. Yes, I can fix it, or work around it, or whatever but it will take hours that I could be spending in windows 11 just playing a game or actually learn something more relevant instead of troubleshooting random shit. On other apps as well, I’ve paid for a lot of software to be able to ask the owners to help and for them to not tell me to fuck off.
people have claimed over the years this happens, but I’ve never had this happen with windows 10
Coming from windows 10, last year I tested installing linux mint which is one of the most accessible distros. I found that around a third of the stuff I had running perfectly under Win10 didn’t work. I didn’t find alternatives that were good enough either…
So I said fuck it and did a clean windows 11 install, It’s been a month now and I can really say that it’s way easier to upgrade to windows 11 and turn off all the shit, than to deal with all the stuff that won’t run under linux.
Hopefully this changes in a few more years…
It’s exactly that.
When you login with a microsoft account it also logs you into onedrive. by default onedrive starts up at boot time, and also by default it backs up the main folders of your PC (documents, desktop, pictures, etc.)
It can all be turned off, but the fact it’s opt out its cancerous. The only thing I use onedrive for is to store my offsite 3-2-1 backup. It’s encrypted beforehand with rclone.
