I'm forced to use a Windows laptop for some proprietary software at uni. Since it's IT-issued, it's connected to my uni account. This means that it took me a month before I realised my desktop wasn't in fact my desktop, and just my one drive desktop, with no files actually being saved onto the laptop
So anyway that's why I have a shotcut to my desktop on my "desktop", as it's the fastest way to get there
Everytime I have the displeasure a logging into Windows I am hit with ads. If it isn't Microsoft trying to get me to log into my account or getting me to setup my PC for the tenth time it is adobe or some other software installed pushing notifications. It is fucking bonkers now.

That feeling that I don't know where the files actually are.. I never had that. I knew where I put my files.
But then SharePoint happened. And then onedrive. Is it shared? Where everywhere is it?
Of course you can look some of those things up. But is that information trustworthy?
Corporations are prying the data from our hands.
What about if we silently upload your files from your documents folder to OneDrive and replace them with links to the OneDrive copy, so that they stop working if you ever delete OneDrive?
No OneDrive on Linux ๐คท
Incorrect, but why would you want to?
No OneDrive on Linux, but as a personal rule rather than an incorrect statement.
Ew. Yes, why?
I use cloud storage.
At my company computer, I drop my backups to cloud if I forget my portable drive at home. At my home computer I pull those from cloud and store them on my home server.
That's about as far as I trust cloud storage.
i just want a picture of a got dang hot dog!
OneDrive to rule them all
Why does Randall come to mind? Three movies of people walking to a volcano.

I keep posting it on Teams at work, it's fun to be the old guy.
