You say that as if it was easy, and as if it doesn't come back again a few Windows updates down the road.

I uninstalled onedrive with Geek Uninstaller on several of company PCs and none of it had come back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It was easy for me, and has never come back. Then again, a lot of the fear mongering I see about windows has never been my experience with it.

Stealing all your files to train AI. And they complain that MS Office gets pirated. Privacy and default Opt-Out needs to be a Federal Law. Corporations need to pay millions in fines when they violate that.

What about default opt-out on "don't automatically upload files to onedrive"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

They dont care about piracy unless its a large organization.

Jokes on them. I uploaded 1 TB of pirated content years ago before the 365 subscription expired and OneDrive hasn’t functioned since.

Ehh that's just file stealing. Could expect that from Microsoft

That would fail our current process of approving where we can store documents, just as well I have a Mac for work
