Teams is worse!
Teams is bad until you have to use Amazon chime and work docs.
I know right! I had the unfortunate experience of using it for a while and I have no idea how Amazon employees manage to communicate at all. It was an utter mess and looked like it came out of the 2000s.
- Fuck those things.
- The main problem with them is not just the software, which is awful, but that it means you’re working at Amazon.
I’m lucky enough to be working with rather than for, but it does mean interacting with their crappy programs and work culture. Going back to using teams is a relief.
That sounds awful
Meh. I like onedrive. I use it all the time.
One drive legitimately breaks windows, well not usually but only because developers are smart enough not to use it,
theA problem with One Drive is that Windows in there infinite wisdom has decided to put default folders directly into One Drive: Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc, if a developer was to actually use these folders the auto saves, restores and virtual files stored online would absolutely break what ever is stored in there, now this might sound obvious and of course they are only for the end user developers shouldn’t touch it, but that hasn’t always been true, it wasn’t that long ago when the documents folder was used heavily for saves , but more importantly if the user tries to backup other files that contain programs you know those things that are a hassle to reinstall, then they will break programs.Cats know better.
For a sec i read “her cat” as “her clit”
OneDrive does exist on macOS.
RedStarOS
Was there any spyware/telemetry found in red star OS?
I remember a good few years back finding a leaked image for it and having some fun with it ended up throwing it on an open Gdrive link, then a few years later someone leaked a more up to date version that tried to look like macOS.
The last information i found is from 2015 (the one that looks like MacOS). There are no direct backdoors on the installation medium, although it is trivial to deliver one with software updates since the repositories are under state control. What has been found is a mechanism that attached the hardware id of the pc to any file that is opened, allowing to trace through which hands a file has gone. there was also an “anti-virus” that is a censoring mechanism, deleting files with predefined content.
Wouldn’t you need to modify the filesystem type to associate this type of tracking data with a file?
Wasn’t there also a “kill-switch” that reported to the government when you tried to tinker with the OS too much or something?
I use onedrive to sync one file around.
Can’t remember if it’s a password file or a notes file from Joplin.
That’s it. For some reason I’ve forgotten, it was the most convenient. And I don’t even use windows.
I’ll sync it in house when I set my server up next year.
I use a Mac for work and I’m saddened to say I do have to use OneDrive, and that it unsurprisingly sucks absolute ass.
This meme was just making the rounds on Lemmy like a week ago
If I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me!
Lol why exactly we all hate one drive? I forgor, never used it actually.
Mostly because it constantly forces itself on you and is difficult to disable or remove even if you take several minutes to attempt to get rid of it. Every fucking time you try to save a file in office it defaults to save to one drive, or at least that was the case for a time.
If you don’t know, you either haven’t run Win 11 or don’t realize the files on your desktop have been uploaded to OneDrive.
i forgor 💀
Wait files get uplaoded to OneDrive?? I always delete the onedrive whenever installing windows (in a vm btw) bruh
Yeah, especially if using MS Office.
You still have to turn that on.
My school uses MS Office and it autosaved to onedrive by default. This got enabled once logged in to your MS account, which we needed for e.g. Teams.
For work or school stuff sure, those are org settings.
I had it try to automatically upload all the porn on my PC once
Dunno how that happened but they sure as hell made an enemy that day
In my case my partner has a Windows 10 surface laptop. It’s perfectly functional and does what she needs it to do, but Windows 10 is dying next year, so I need to find some solution that is user friendly (meaning GUI-based in this case) to maintain her access to her OneDrive, or we throw away a perfectly good laptop to buy a slightly newer one. Besides the e-waste it’s just a waste of money. It makes some business sense, why make it easy to move away from windows? Except it also sucks on anything that isn’t a windows desktop, so they just expect people to put up with a subpar service essentially because their business users don’t have much choice. Dropbox was better 10 years ago than OneDrive is now, in terms of platform availability and usability.
Note: I’m aware we can access OneDrive and office via a browser, however it’s not the same as native and feels clunky. Throwing Linux on it and using a browser is probably going to be our solution if I can’t get rclone to work in a way she’ll be happy with.
I read an article that MS has backed off almost entirely on Win 11’s requirements. Now it’s a checkbox, “Your hardware isn’t supported so you accept responsibility if you have problems.”
As long as it’s newer than Pentium 4, you are probably fine.
Win 11 now only needs popcnt (a newer instruction added 15 years ago) and sse4.2.
When did this happen?
It was in my news feed 2 days ago and as is the nature of the modern Internet, today I cannot find the article using Google.
Yes!
I think my limiting factor is TPM 2.0 which I believe isn’t supported by the device but is required by windows 11
You can modify the Windows 11 iso to bypass the requirements. You can tick a checkbox in Rufus when creating the install media to have it do it for you.
Well after looking further it’s actually the processor isn’t supported in general so Linux it is! It’s going to be a hard sell to my partner who doesn’t like using office 365 on the browser because “it screws up templates”. If even Microsoft’s tools screw up I can’t imagine libre office would do any better so that’s an even harder sell… Sigh.
And popular distros like: Ubuntu,Fedora,etc your Cpu should be Atleast 64Bit and have atleast 3-4gb of ram
There was quite a bit of initial config to do, but there is Linux OneDrive Client, and OneDriveGUI
If you’re going to try Linux, there’s obviously a ton of great options but I can definitely recommend ZorinOS for anyone unfamiliar with Linux.
I replaced Windows on my Mom’s computer with Zorin and she absolutely loves it. Its UI is simple and clean and the OS just works.
Might also look into https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver !
I think both KDE and GNOME desktop environments might have integration with OneDrive as an option in their respective file browsers.
I remember KDE could work with Google Drive in that casual “download when you need it” way, rather than the traditional “sync mirrored copies” way.
Personally I’d say KDE is also a fantastic desktop environment for coming from Windows with little friction. I run OpenSUSE Tumbleweed personally, but Fedora has a KDE “spin” and I think Zorin uses it by default.
Hope this is helpful :)
The only people not on the meme are the IT procurement people at my work
share point, one drive, dynamics, office 365, teams.
They’re all ganged up with their swords pointed at me just trying to do some work.
Together they’ve managed unseated oracle as the arch nematode, even thogh none of them actually do anything that i need - apart from maybe filing cabinet.
I guess Microsoft hates OneDrive too
Don’t forget about SharePoint
