I also love how the safe prompts in office 365 are putting "this computer" in quotation marks.

Welcome to Patriots for Progress. Round these parts, we roleplay as American conservatives and use all the reactionary buzzwords while continuing to produce leftist and communist propaganda.
Rule 1: No special snowflake white supremacist nonsense, or any other kind of bigotry
Rule 2: No big city econ major capitalism talk. And no centrism either, the LORD gave us the second amendment for a reason
Rule 3: AMERICAN PATRIOTS ONLY π¦ π¦ π¦ !!! This is America, so you'd best speak English, Navajo, Cherokee, or some other American language!

I remember when it was C:/ then it became "this computer" and stuff, to make you forget you have hardware at all or so I feel.
If Microsoft could make you lease your computer and turn it into a terminal, they absolutely would.

There's advantages to saving documents to the cloud for backups.
Severely limiting that space by default and then preventing you from saving files when it runs out is horseshit. Half the computer problems I've fixed recently are all caused by OneDrive running out of space.
My sister wanted to know why her Sims saves were disappearing. Turns out OneDrive was full and the saves were being backed up to it. No space = no more saving apparently.
Wow, that's really garbage. Why is MS trying so hard to push Linux?
Because they know most people won't move to Linux. Most people will stick with whatever absolute garbage they know and will just be annoyed when things continue to degrade, but they won't leave.

OneDrive needs a PSA that it's a share drive, not extra storage.
No no you misunderstand-- It's primary storage. Your 1TB hard drive is merely a local cache for the $70 OneDrive plan that you for some reason haven't subscribed to yet, but don't worry, you'll get lots of reminders to.

This makes me so immediately enraged every single time.
Linux doesnβt make you jump through this hoop π§π«‘πΊπΈ
You know, I use Linux at work but use windows at home. I've been thinking of switching for a while. I think the thing that is going to push me over the edge is the difficulty that I have saving a file to my own god damned computer.
I love automatic backups to the cloud WHEN I CHOOSE TO USE THEM! I'm tired of Microsoft essentially holding my data for ransom, though.
Welp, they're never going to stop, and they're always going to get more intrusive. Linux is better than it has ever been! Give it a whirl. I suggest Pop!_OS for people who don't want to mess with their system, and Arch for people who love messing with their system.
Edit: Fedora is a nice middle-ground.

I have a cheap laptop that I got solely for school to run their anti cheat Spyware for online tests. I hadn't turned it on since I updated it and it forced me to make a hotmail/outlook account or I couldn't use the laptop to take my test. Assholes almost made me late for it. Fuck microsoft.
If i can get guild wars 2 to run on Linux I won't need windows anymore
Edit : sorry for the confusion. I have linux running. The next step is to work on gw2. It's the only thing remaining.
May I ask for further clarification on when you tried when running the game?
I haven't tried Guild Wars 2 on Linux however it seems like it works according to ProtonDB.
Sorry I should have been more clear. I have mint linux installed. The speakers and the headset works. When I get a chance I need to work on gw2. It's the last step. Sorry for the confusion.
I think all you have to do is add it to Steam as a non-Steam game and then run it with Proton.
Or add it to Lutris, then it's also click-and-play without needing an account with another proprietary service that needs to run in the background.
You can also use one of the many Launchers if you don't want to add it to Steam as a non-steam game. Alternatively, you can also launch it directly with proton/wine yourself, though this is the most annoying option.

It runs without a problem via steam for me on Linux mint. I don't know how to do whatever setup steam does manually, but you can just launch it through steam and sign in with your anet account. (There's a config option to open the login window instead of using your steam account for login)

Copilot has determined that it's better to save your files in OneDrive.
Oops, one of your jpegs violates Disney's copyright.
Authorities have been notified and your Microsoft account was deactivated.
All your files are gone, your email account is gone, your Windows PC will shut down now.

Missing a few βgot dangsβ in there
I tell you h'what that bing ain't right..
Debian, LMDE, Suse, Fedora, whatever. Just pick one and go for it.
Steam Cloud: You dumb bitch.
I've got it disabled and in offline mode and it still yells at me that it can't sync saves with the cloud.
Yeah, I fucking know, that was the idea.
Are you worried about a copy of your saved games in the cloud? I've had mine on for years and it makes moving to a new computer super easy.

If you don't control your data you don't control your data... The cloud is just someone else's computer.... Back up your shit and keep some of those backups offsite but keep everything under your own control...

But we need to harvest your data forβ¦reasons
Otherwise our profits might suffer! Wouldnβt that be terrible?
