OneDrive automatically backups folders in Windows 11 without users' permissions
Windows 11 now lets OneDrive automatically backup all of your files and folders without asking for users' permissions.
According to the latest reports, Windows 11 has made an independent choice by automatically turning on OneDrive folder backup for Desktop, Pictures, Documents, Music, and Video folders without your permission. This signifies that, whether you approve or not, everything is becoming coordinated with the cloud.
This action from Microsoft fits into a larger pattern where big tech companies cleverly (or not so cleverly) promote their services and subscriptions to users. It isn’t only about Microsoft; there have been instances of Google doing something similar with Google Photos and its storage plans.
Keep an eye on your settings, particularly when you have just finished setting up a new device or updating your operating system. Companies such as Microsoft constantly seek methods to link users with their environments—sometimes without permission.

Install Linux already, just get it over with.
I'm still learning but it's so much less aggressive in Linux land.
Make VR work on Linux
My understanding is that it is working much better now than a few months ago. I haven't actually put it to the test yet, but it is on my list of things to try once I have time to set up my index again.
Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn't get used very often
I have it somewhat working on Nobara after SteamVR updated a few weeks back. It works, but is rather unstable and you got to reboot any time it craps out. 6/10 technically functional, but needs work.
It doesn't help that my headset has had odd issues even on Windows since it's refurbished.
Yea I fucked around a lot to make it work, Nobara is usually the most stable one to get vr working but valve keeps pushing out updates that completely fucks up the vr launch process. The other big issue is asynchronous reprojection missing.
People usually don't use linux because or app compatibility ik wine exists but it just doesn't not work with all apps
To really switch to Linux people need to accept that for a good experience you may need to switch off some software to alternative software.
This wasn't a big deal for me personally and I'm happy I use more open source software now, it can be a bigger issue especially if you need specific tools for work.
I stopped using the word "alternative" as it implies it maybe be less good. I just say "open source" now.
In reality, open source software almost always is a better product as it's designed by people wanting it, not by a bunch of managers wanting more money directing a bunch of developers who just want their salary.
Also: a lot of the mainstream software has Linux clients, if you look for them
I've been on Linux desktop and server for over 20 years now, reaching 25. Never looked back, never will
I agree, Dont forget game anti-cheat to
Most apps have open source versions which work better anyway. I've been on a Linux desktop literally for the past 20+ years now, never looked back
Ngl I have been using some of the open source alternatives on linux now
I stopped calling them alternatives because that implies that its somehow a "B" version, less than "the original". Many times these lesser know softwares are superior to their closed source counterparts
Oh alr But some or them are krita
Yes, install Linux and the end up using O365 in the cloud anyways 🤡
I do exactly that, yes. Unfortunately I my company we have to use the msoffice shit, so I use the online version which is as hilariously bad as one would expect. Same for teams which is just a sad shitshow
Say about Google what you want, but at least the google drive tools work well.
In any case, what is your point?
