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 πŸ¦…πŸ¦…πŸ¦…!!! This is America, so you'd best speak English, Navajo, Cherokee, or some other American language!

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.

I swear, at my next job I'll ask for a Mac. We were forced to switch to windows 11 by our outsourced IT MSP, at my current job and it wasn't pretty.

If I can help it my future windows experience will be spinning up a VM on my proxmox host, and killing it off after use. No personal files will be going on there.

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...

"If you don't control your data, you don't control your data...", statement of the century. But yes we all should be taken care of our own data, and building up systems to help those who can't

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.

Aside from not liking being dependent on a internet connection in the first place and tinfoil hat stuff, it was doing something weird with a partition on my old computer so I just disabled the whole thing and didn't look back.

Hates cloud, runs steam...

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's not actually necessary, they're just really bitchy about taking no for an answer.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's more than Steam is an internet based distribution system. You can't use steam WITHOUT an internet connection.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you call the Internet the Cloud I will find you.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bruh, I hate "The Cloud" meme that businesses love today, I selfhost everything I can, but Steam really is a 'Cloud" business. Lots of other people's computers used to store and distribute video games via a custom application.

spoilerThe Internet is The Cloud

You won't see me coming, Nik282000, if that is your real name!

NetBSD also runs on lowspec hardware

But we need to harvest your data for…reasons

Otherwise our profits might suffer! Wouldn’t that be terrible?
