I'm seeing that a hell of a lot this year... Linux might actually finally make some real headwind with the tech crowd

I have to use Outlook for work. It is so annoying to have to avoid the one drive attachment option everytime I attach a file to an email. Nobody wants to be forced to deal with that crap.

Oohh, that's a good way to potentially break this. Just download a ton of useless stuff and upload it onto OneDrive. People could make this service really expensive for Microsoft.

better yet upload gigabytes of senseless text and photos and let Microsoft train their AI on that

Double whammy is a good idea.

I want to take a picture of a brick and duplicate it over and over, then zip those up and duplicate that zip into OneDtive until it tells me I can't any more.

So you want to throw a brick through OneDrive's Windows?

For starters, bulk copying a person's documents without their approval sounds like mass copyright violation.

Oh, that's okay though, you signed them the rights to do that by having an account with them

... I'm sure is how they'll spin it

I finally switched to Linux Mint a few weeks ago. CoPilot/ Recall was the last straw.
