Ok, so not OneDrive generally but specifically the unholy merging of OD and Win11. JFC when I navigate to a folder and save a file there THAT FILE HAD BETTER FUCKING BE THERE and not in some shadow folder you default mapped to OneDrive because FUCK ME, RIGHT?
As a university sysadmin that spent half a fucking hour yesterday trying to log someone out of a classroom computer’s MS Office software (the “sign out” button did fuck all, go figure): fuck Microsoft, fuck Office, fuck Outlook, fuck Onedrive, fuck their SSO, and their mother too. Next semester I’m sanitizing the computers. Students will use LibreOffice and they’ll like it.
You have the ability to do that? Super jealous. Everything at my university was so tightly integrated with the windows ecosystem and its accounts that separating would have been an incredible amount of work.
Not on my own, I’m technically only responsible for the network and cybersecurity, but not being able to log out of an education account on a public computer is a pretty serious threat. Fortunately I’m on good terms with the dean and he’s always been receptive to my concerns.
I have been out of the PC game for a long time. Got a laptop recently and discovered you need to sign up for a subscription to use the office package, doesnt just come with windows any more. No big deal, my wife says she has a subscription as part of her phone contract.
Cool. Easy.
What. The fuck. Is this mess? Everything is saved on their servers instead of locally? I try to sign myself in but thats impossible because shes signed in except I cant use her licenses because im signed in which im not because shes signed in?
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE? WHO THE FUCK HAS PUT THEIR NAME TO THIS SHIT? HOW DOES ANY CUNT USE IT?
Not only that but you cant just open excel any more, you have to open the whole windows office launcher portal (which isnt even called office) and fumble your way around to try and find the file first or some bollocks? I don’t even know I nearly launched the laptop out the fucking window.
Lmao I did the same thing today, trying to teach a particularly… ‘beginner’ user how to sign into outlook. I was going to have them sign in again in front of me, but without my help. It wouldn’t sign out so I just gave up
Fuck OneDrive with a rusty hook.

This irritates me so much. Get off my lawn.
looks at license agreement
No you don’t.
Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.

I might be a little angry.

I knew you could throw Windows OS onto a laptop. Didn’t know you could throw a laptop out of Windows OS.
Just remember to teach them that there are multiple UI variants.

As a young engineer I went all in on SharePoint when it came to our company. Became evangelical and learned how to make it do all sorts of shit.
How naive I was…
