And while I’m at it, can I have a car that isn’t just spyware disguised as a fancy iPad?

I do use Linux at home, but work forces me to use Windows.

    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?

    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.
