i had the misfortune yesterday of setting up a new Windows 11 PC for a non-profit that I do some volunteer work with. the amount of times that it re-enabled OneDrive, after I had already disabled it, was infuriating. In less than an hour, it re-connected my credentials to the stupid fucking machine half a dozen times and began to download my personal files, without anything resembling consent.
The experience was enough to finally get me to set up my own NextCloud instance so that I can get rid of all cloud files (OneDrive, iCloud, and google drive) for good. Fuck these fucking companies and their enshittified products.

Needing an account to set up an OS is such bullshit. I would do anything to avoid that.
No doubt!
