Microsoft doesn’t understand consent. Everyone ought to stop accepting its abuse and kick Windows to the curb as a matter of basic self-respect.
Computer rapists
I’ve had people get mad at me when I state the comparison that plainly (because they think I’m making light of SA or something, IDK), but yes.
MicrosoftTech bros.
It’s a huge proboem in tech, not just Microslop
How to turn off OneDrive with Group Policy.
Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive.
- Save documents to OneDrive by default: Disabled
- Prevent OneDrive from generating network traffic until the user signs in to OneDrive: Enabled
- Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage: Enabled
The last setting disables OneDrive on your system; make sure to change it to Disabled if you use OneDrive.
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Just give Linux a shot.
Why keep using a shit system brought to you by a company in bed with fascists?
If I may suggest, there is another way to remove OneDrive, and it can also remove Edge, Teams, Copilot, Recall, or any unwanted bloat from Microsoft. This is a permanent solution and it doesn’t even require to fiddle with the registry editor.
This ultimate Windows debloat utility comes in the form of a free and open-source operating system called GNU/Linux. Learn more at https://www.debian.org/ and https://fedoraproject.org/
Jokes aside, thanks for your service for those that can’t or won’t use an operating system that respects their choices.
I mean, honestly, just try dual-booting a Linux.
It’s super easy, it’s a fun little 45 minute project, and absolute worst case, you can undo everything without messing up your Windows install.
If/when I need a new job I’ll just put “Linux daily driver” as my entire resume /s
Oh the herd, 🙄 how they make the world such a ugly place.
You do realize that IT admins have no control over the business software environment, right? They get hired to maintain it, they do not have purchasing authority.
I am at a high enough position in my company that I could literally force everyone to transition to Mac or Linux.
They would not be able to stop me from doing that short of firing me.
But they would fire me. 100% no doubt about it. I would not have a job there within a day if I did that.
I call it “breakglass powers”. For most it’s probably known as “the things I’d do on the last day of my job”. Things you can do once and then never again.
For real.
I’m a Windows sysadmin and I desperately want Microsoft to just make the OS that everybody clearly wants.
Actually, they already make the OS that most everyone wants. The LTSC version of Windows 10 and 11 are both eminently usable. They just don’t sell it to anyone unless you have an enterprise account and buy the keys in bulk.
It’s funny how people can get a pirated ltsc copy, and it will be better than the legitimate product offered to them
That is not even remotely true.
Just estimated support costs alone are enough to move any business.
Set future standards and start moving towards that direction and pay people to do the work.
Tell me you know nothing about corporate IT without telling me you know nothing about corporate IT.
