Windows 11 is quietly installing OneDrive Photos, and it wants to scan your photos for faces

Most important sentence in the linked article is the last one:
"If you want to block the OneDrive sync client from installing OneDrive Photos, you’ll need to remove OneDrive entirely from Settings > Installed apps."

I understand if people find the idea of switching to Linux intimidating or don't want to do that.But maybe they could switch to Mac? I haven't heard of Apple doing near as much privacy-invading stuff as Microsoft. I think at this point people really need to get off of Windows, one way or another.

@jonsnow I’m so thankful I jumped off Windows this year. What an absolute shitshow no one asked for.

@jonsnow So THIS is the annoying message I keep getting from NVDA, my screen reader every time I start up my computer. I'll never click allow in 10000 years, and I'd like to make that message stop!

@jonsnow everyone should get off windows, but if you can't we need a whole lot of ai poison pictures that people can put in their photo folder. Use up their space and screw with their training.

@aerofreak @jonsnow First thing I do when getting someone's Windows set up.

I have never used OneDrive. Its sad little icon sits in my system tray with a sad line drawn through its sad, gray outline.
The very idea of me putting my data onto Microsoft's server is a laugh.
No. Hard no. Forever and ever amen.
@troy_frizzell @jonsnow You should uninstall it. Otherwise it's too easily to accidentally click something and wind up with all of your private data exfiltrated to their servers.

Yes of course, but I think the biggest issue for many is that you have to install it yourself.I know the actual installation is easy but things like having to decide which distro and DE or WM to use, make a bootable USB and boot from it, possibly needing to get into the BIOS and disable UEFI, etc. are big obstacles for average users.
Organizing more community Linux install fests/parties would help, where people can bring in a computer and have experts there helping them with all that and basic setup or troubleshooting.
