My documents has been the standard location for game saves for probably 20 years. You can say it shouldn't be and you might even be right, but that's the reality and Microsoft KNOWS that's the reality. If appdata is really supposed to be for things like game logs, configuration and saves, can you explain to me why it's hidden by default? How is the average person supposed to copy saves? Back them up? Edit their configuration settings? This is exactly why my documents became the default.

I personally have un-installed onedrive and had it break my file browser such that the onedrive button was still there and any time I accidentally clicked it the file browser froze. I don't think you can chalk up every instance of onedrive slowing down a pc to user error, maybe some other software doing something unexpected + some user error. But again, many people are having issues caused by a software they never wanted. I should be able to be the worst dev ever and do whatever "incorrect" things I want, regardless of what a software I never installed and can't get rid of thinks.

It's also just unexpected behavior, you're telling me just writing to my documents will lag my pc? What if I'm transferring files to my documents while doing something else, now I get massive lag spikes for the crime of putting files somewhere on my computer...? And what if it's pictures I absolutely do not want on Microsoft servers, like medical photos? Am I just required to know Microsoft put software that uploads it without me ever consenting?

Sure razer programs are super sketchy, but a convenience program I never installed should not touch ANYTHING unless I tell it to. The issue isn't "oh razer is bad so it was probably onedrive doing something correctly and then it broke" it's "why did I have to waste time figuring out some random program I never installed and don't want was causing this problem?"

They are writing constantly to documents because it makes it obvious to the user where the logs are, why do you get to decide they don't get to write there? For example openmw a huge project puts logs there. Again it's the fact it's a program I never installed and don't want that I had to spend hours researching to maybe find out what was causing it.

An example of it being really buggy to get rid of

Reinstalling itself

About performance idk what to tell you this seems very common

https://www.reddit.com/r/onedrive/comments/oiix8t/high_cpu_and_ram_without_syncing_file_what_happen/

Tons of videos on YouTube about it too.

I shouldn't have to say, for a software I never installed or wanted, "well okay I'm not allowed to append to logs to documents, or use documents for any game files that might change often, and if I'm unlucky to have onedrive be in a bugged state or they break it with an update then I will have 30% cpu usage forever unless I fix it. And also I will have to uninstall it every 6 months which might leave my file explorer in a broken state." If this happened with a software I WANTED and installed myself, I would still complain but probably say the convenience is worth it. But it is being forced on me and the literal only reason I know about it is from it giving me 50% cpu usage and other friends having similar problems, for something they don't want and never wanted.

Also, using any Razer software as an argument against other software is... brave.

My mistake ill go tell my friend he's just not allowed to use his mouse because a commentor on lemmy said it's not his computer so he can't run what he wants on it, especially not the OEM software that his mouse requires.

Onedrive seems to sync documents by default, which means any games that write log files there will be constantly syncing any time they append a little to the end of the file.

True sorry I meant malware, it tries to reinstall itself and tries to make uninstalling more difficult, while also being a massive cpu hog while the user is unaware (and hasn't opened it once).

https://windowsreport.com/onedrive-high-cpu/

Ah even better it breaks itself because of telemetry logs and then takes up massive amounts of cpu in order to do nothing because it's in a broken state. Search onedrive high cpu usage to see how common this is, happened to me too (never opened it one time). Great software that I have had to remove from 5 different people's computers because it was either in a broken state or they played a game that was massively slowed down by a program they had not installed, didn't even know was installed, and they had not opened or used ever. Lucky them they got to experience it twice after onedrive reinstalled itself after an update!

The analogy is "this building is working and tested, but it something DOES break it's a huge pain to fix it." whereas in rust it would be relatively painless. I don't know if that's worth rewriting it in rust but if the rust fanatics want to do it then eh why not.

Onedrive has been known to just randomly break programs like razer synapse and plenty of other things, and also reinstalling itself for no reason. A friend had a game running at 20fps and it was a known issue that onedrive caused it. I would prefer to have things autosave without using something that is acting indistinguishable from a virus.

Yeah the pushing new comments to the top is my favorite part about lemmy, it's a good mix of top comments and I still get to see a -20 comment from time to time (and sometimes they're right)

Sure let's check the sub I have never seen a single post from. Oh I can block the community there we go. Oh 15 different misinfo posts from 15 different maga.place communities, I guess I just have to block every single community. (i.e. block the instance). The difference is you can FIND those communities. I am seeing MAINLY these kinds of terrible posts on maga.place.

Here's some undeniable misinfo posts from the NEWS community usanews https://maga.place/post/13207 https://maga.place/post/13643 Yes the shadowy antifa organization just like the shadowy blm organization. I've gone to these protests, I'm still waiting to get in contact with the antifa leaders and get my paycheck.

Also yes, you can find brainrot/divisiveness, but very rarely actual hatred, unless it's a trans person saying "wow this administration quite literally took away my rights!" Or someone saying "I will actually die if they take away my healthcare." This is not the same as "they hurt the economy and had stupid policies, let's call them garbage." Again I am not saying you WILL NOT FIND THIS ON THE LEFT. but it is a FIREHOSE vs a faucet. One of conservatives favorite shows fox news just repeats hatred towards democrats 24/7, and that is what they are used to.

Alright let's compare to c/politicalmemes then

Mamdani didn't just beat cuomo, he beat the establishment

The cruelty is the point (Republicans voting against snap, holding snap recipients hostage. Arguable that this is legitimately just true because it makes their bargaining better, but I could give you this one)

Post about the epstein files (nonpartisan even Republicans want it)

Everyone has lost their minds (nonpartisan)

Joke about how trump can't read (I could argue hes proven this but ill give this to you)

Image of mamdani turning away from autocracy to democracy, with an angry trump. Biased but just a standard political cartoon

Joke about fox news saying liberals are losing by winning

Post about someone saying Mike Johnson won't open the government because he doesn't want to release the epstein files

Post about disabled rights being human rights

So 1 post about trump not being able to read, and 1 post about how the Republicans who are voting to not fund snap actually WANT people to not have snap. The rest are nonpartisan or positive messages all around. I felt better reading c/politicalmemes because among the brainrot there were positive messages and nonpartisan "hey guys this sure is crazy." Waiting for the post on c/conservative where they say "hey guys protect your legal Mexican neighbor from ICE, there's been a lot of false deportations." Again I am not arguing that it DOESN'T happen, but maga.place is 50% EXTREMELY biased, hateful, or misinformation. Not comparable to 8/10 posts on a VERY heavily leftist site being apolitical, and the other 2 having a grain of truth if hyperbolic.

From: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/after-jimmy-kimmels-show-was-suspended-a-key-question-is-does-the-fcc-have-the-power-to-regulate-speech

"I mean, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct to take actions, frankly on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” Carr likened Kimmel’s comment to “news distortion,” which is against FCC’s rules for broadcasters.

And then a couple hours later he is suspended. I guess it's possible the FCC threatened to take action against people hosting Kimmel. Then, independently with no influence from the threat of their broadcast license being revoked, they removed Jimmy Kimmel. That is one possibility.

Ok sure I would agree. I would also say they are misinformed, so I would not use hateful language against my fellow Americans, saying they are the Hitler youth. I do not want someone who is misinformed to be CALLED Hitler youth because it will PROVABLY make it harder to change their mind and cause more divisiveness. Literally less than 0 reason to post it.

I am not saying they have 0 value for me. I'm saying objectively they have less than 0 value since many of their posts are hateful and divisive, or straight up misinformation. Someone being around misinformation and hatred makes them a more hateful person who also spreads that misinformation. I would block the instance regardless, but I don't want the average joe thinking "hm maybe these guys have a point, I never see anyone discussing these (completely discredited) studies about climate change! They must be too radically leftist to do so." and then start hanging out in conservative communities. This is literally how many people get radicalized, is through propaganda and fake news.

I agree except it feels like people are way more active here than on reddit, me personally I never commented but I comment all the time on here. Lemmy feels really active even without a ton of users (especially discussion threads)

The first two are examples of negativity/brainrot and divisiveness. If those were in isolation I wouldn't complain, but it's just adding to the list of bad posts.

I'm not arguing the veracity of the claims on that site, but if you look at all their articles they NEVER list sources. Why link this over anything else? Compare that to the Time article https://time.com/7329777/trump-xi-meeting-korea-us-china-trade-deal-tariffs-takeaways/ Sources everywhere and it's better fuller information. Again not misinformation, but it's a garbage website with no sources and no context.

As an aside, we may wonder why they didn't post the Time article instead? Hmm....

Ok sure, but you're comparing instances that are not very popular to something that is the identity of that instance i.e. being a conservative. Either way at best it's preaching to the choir or ragebait depending on your leaning, so just not a good post.

The quote is not only about the conservatives. He is saying those who support tucker Carlson for criticizing Israel are the Hitler youth. Go watch the video the guy basically says people who support hamas and criticize Israel are evil. I don't want to see this hateful garbage why are they posting it? It's not even relevant to politics it's just some random guy spreading hate. I can criticize Israel and agree with tucker Carlson on that point, he didn't even say anything about hamas but just criticizing Israel = antisemite and nazi like wtf...

Wut the fcc head literally said "if he's not dealt with there will be consequences" that is about as explicit of a threat as you can get, am I misunderstanding something? Trump admin lying doesn't make it any less obvious why it happened.

Sure if the instance mods remove all the misinfo and hatred, I'm all for an actual debate on immigration, universal healthcare etc. But right now there is less than 0 value on that instance. Those posts were not funny, they were not informative, they were not thought provoking. Every post that wasn't garbage was just a less informative source or something some right wing person said (besides the 5ish posts about green party and how 2 party is bad, legitimately good posts). That mixed with a healthy dose of misinformation (not bias, pure undeniable falsehoods and misrepresentation) makes me not want to ever see a single post from it. Maybe they will change in the future and we refederate, I wouldn't oppose that. But right now it's just not good. You said it yourself nypost is garbage, go look how many posts are from there and imagine some random lemmy user reading it not knowing it's garbage.

I'll be at 0 score from the person im arguing with and still be like "what was wrong with my comment!!"

I think it's fair if it's really not obvious at all but yeah kinda ruins the joke a lot of the time

Obviously Trump and his team thinks so.
