Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage service is installed on your PC by default, and it can cause some trouble when playing PC games on multiple devices.
About ten years ago, I was using a third-party OneDrive client to sync it on an Ubuntu install. It was working brilliantly until daylight savings started our stopped, then it got confused about file times not matching so tried resyncing everything, and then saw the times still didn’t match, so made a new file for each file with an added numeric suffix, then tried doing the same for the new files, and kept going until my disk was full. That was a mess to tidy up, and once it was sorted, I had to start the sync program in GMT to stop it happening again.

By not having the feature? 👌👍
By not trying to sneak it onto your system over and over.

I mean less tracking. You can still use the online version or have a own data server like a normal person.
Lololol “normal person”
The nerd on lemmy running their own server shit is calling that what a normal person would do 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who doesn’t have at least a small server for data? Like wtf even my Grandma has one.
My Grandma doesn’t. She insists on using Gentoo so it never works!! I keep telling her to use Windows instead… smh
Imagine pressuring a grandma that settled for a Distro into using windows…
Only on the home server. It would play nicer with the Microsoft-brand ip-over-ham-radio.
Her gaming rig runs netBSD, obviously.
🙄
I’m not even sure how to stress this. That’s not the average household.
Yeah shure. Tell me any sane person that doesn’t have a server at home.
