“I don’t want to save my files to someone else’s computer, I want to save my files to my own computer.” should’ve never been a thing, but here we are.
Wait what did MS do now?
Your computer? That you own? In your house?
I fucking hate onedrive so goddamn much.
Why it’s the FUCKING DOCUMENTS FOLDER like five folders deep now?
Fuck you, Microsoft.
Couldn’t be happier to be back to Ubuntu.
In 2026 this is a book for trust fund babies
This actually exists and it’s an ad made by Microsoft and tells a story for kids about a family and their Windows Home Server at home…

That server be crashing or laggin before it reaches 20 hours 💔
Don’t mind me, just dropping in for my daily affirmations that I made the right choice in dumping Microslop two years ago.
In between all the well deserved hate they had I had 3 specific incidents that made me go “pero anda a la reputisima madre que te reconchamil pario Microchot!”.
The one of One drive was fucking disgusting. I was preparing an SQL script for a stored procedure. Been saving it in a desktop folder in my VDI. Comes the end of the day I do one last save before log off. Fucker throws a sync error. I pay no heed to it and log off. Now if you’re betting the script was not there anymore next day you’d be right on the money, a whole day of working evaporated cause one drive couldn’t pick the file **from my local folder ** and then it decided to delete it leaving a translucid version with a error in the status column. You can guess what the cursing in spanish meant…Microsoft wants to start charging you to access your own files…
Don’t they already?
My work forces us to save everything to the drive, so anything in our home drives or desktops is automatically backed up.
But not my downloads folder. It is the only spot on my work laptop safe from backup. They’ll never get me.
I used to have a little program that would save a file to a user’s desktop. it was made to help with manually compiling files to send out in a package, and every user has a desktop, right? so just save the file there, instead of taking up space on our cloud storage or something (these are often big files, but they only exist for a short period of time) then OneDrive came along and all of a sudden the tool stopped working, because the desktop folder no longer existed. that was a weird one for me
If it’s in your own house why would you be using windows
HuRrRrRr
This is exactly why I left (Arch BTW)
Or in the rare cases where I do want to save to onedrive. Cool lets dump every document right into the root onedrive folder with zero organization or file tree structure.
I work w college kids… they have no idea how file structures work
I work with a ~50yo engineer who organises files by type. Doesn’t put files related to the project in the same directory. He puts word docs in one folder, excel in another, pdf in another etc.
This meme is coming full circle with the push by all MLM douchelord slopjocks to make sure no one has an actual computer in their house anymore.
I hate teams for this. I have to click three times before getting to the file browser saving screen.
