    Okay, I can play this game.
    Opens control panel and uninstalls onedrive
    Opens Appdata and Program Files folders and removes leftover onedrive bits
    Opens Regedit and wipes out any remnants from there

    Wonderful. All set up now.

        Fullscreen ad after update:

        "HEY HAVE YOU TRIED ONEDRIVE 365 TOTAL PREMIUM FAMILY BUSINESS PLAN?!

        (“No thanks” is in tiny 2 pt. font at the very bottom right, far from the “YES PLEASE” button, and only highlights after clicking that zone 3 times.)

        Oh, I see you turned off Ad Personalization. Silly, that must’ve been a mistake. We fixed that for you!

        …And you’re not using Edge…clearly that was a whoopsie. Fixed!"

    I happily had one note for 8 years. One note 2017. Used it offline. All my notes.

    Windows 10 put Microsoft 365 on my computer. Tried to sync a bunch of stuff too OneDrive. I said no. Still it made my desktop on one drive. It kept trying to sync documents. A constant nuisance.

    This year I tried to save my taxes to my One Note files. I was told they were erased. I couldn’t imagine what was going on. They were on my computer, local and private. But no I would have to log into OneDrive and rebuild them if I wanted to use my files. I could see them. But I couldn’t open them, I couldn’t save new things, I couldn’t do anything, unless I logged into OneDrive.

    I uninstalled Windows and installed Linux Mint 22.1. I ain’t going back no more.

        This is why I installed Linux once M$ started forcing AI everywhere. Stealing my data should not be the goal of any operating system.

          The fact that all of this has been normalized so quickly shows how inefficient we are at stopping these attacks, and how defenseless society is to them. It’s such a shame.
