Take A Bow<p>Has anyone else noticed the severe <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/enshitification" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitification</a> of <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/google" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#google</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/gmail" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gmail</a> ? I send a mail from a gmail account to one of my email addresses and google says it got sent. But in fact it never touches my server. Gidiots put the mail in the sent box, and never say they didn't deliver it and never say they made no attempt to deliver it. I have a strong suspicion that they've now decided that they will only deliver email to another <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/oligarch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oligarch</a> owned service. (Probably including .ru addresses since that's where <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/hegseth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hegseth</a><span> has an account)<br><br>Is it just me? Are you sure your email is being delivered?</span></p>

Daniel<p>OneDrive spinnt immer öfters heftig rum, insbesondere mit geteilten und im Explorer eingebundenen Ordnern, die plötzlich nicht mehr richtig eingebunden sind. Die dann nicht mehr eingebundenen und lokal vorliegende Ordner sollen dann neu auf den eigenen Account hochgeladen werden.</p><p>Beispiel:<br>1) Nutzer 1 teilt Ordner_1 mit 600 GB mit mir und dieser wird im Explorer eingebunden.<br>2) Der Ordner wird plötzlich zu Ordner_1-PC_Name und zusätzlich taucht eine Verknüpfung zum Ordner auf, die online bzw. im Browser zum Ordner führt.<br>3) Der nun umbenannte Ordner wird nun wieder hochgeladen und sprengt den eigenen Speicher bei OneDrive.</p><p>Das kommt nun immer öfters vor und nervt tierisch.</p><p>Jetzt wird eben erst mal alles neu runtergeladen auf die neue SSD. Mal schauen, wie hoch der Leidensdruck sein muss, bis ich auch da einen Wechsel weg von Microsoft in Betracht ziehe. 🙄 </p><p>Zum Screenshot: Eigentlich wird gerade der erste Teil von 4-6 TB heruntergeladen. 🤭</p><p><a href="https://bahn.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://bahn.social/tags/OneDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OneDrive</span></a> <a href="https://bahn.social/tags/Enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Enshitification</span></a></p>

Federico Hernandez<p>Garmin quo vadis? A Garmin Connect+ premium subscription? Really?</p><p>Makes you look cheap and greedy - considering the price of your more advanced watches. Luckily I don’t need the features you are now hiding behind the pay wall. Maybe the Performance Dashboards would be nice to have. And considering that Garmin Connect basically never gets an update those dashboards could have been released for free. And a useless AI?
