ChaoticNeutralCzechDoes your company/school provide employee/student Microsoft 365 licences? Ask your Windows-using colleague to check that âOptional Connected Experiencesâ are enabled and tell the IT team that they are likely allowing genAI training on internal documents (Microsoft seems to have reserved the right to do that and never denied the allegations). Yes, they can disable this organization-wide and will likely contact Microsoft over this, and if enough of us do this theyâll know they crossed a line.
If your companyâs IT team does not respond, youâll have another argument getting your peers over to LibreOffice.
PhoenixzWeâre working hard to get rid of Microsoft as last we checked, we canât disable copiloi using our data used on SharePoint without also removing all required user functionality like searching documents from SharePoint. We searched everywhere and literally couldnât find a way to remove that.
I know that government is storing citizens data thereâŚ
WTF, why have companies ever decided to use Microsoft ?
Dump Microsoft, now.
Because the IT Manager is a clueless imbecile who only wants things his way and will not take in any other alternatives whatsoever. Doesnât matter if itâs better for the company or not, they only want it their way.
I remember bringing up possibly switching to linux to my IT manager at my previous job, I was told, and I quote:
I would love to, windows sends a lot of junk network traffic and that sometimes makes it hard to investigate shit, but I was told by corporate that people already know windows and we already paid for the licenses, so no.
Thatâs basically been my experience as well whenever I recommend linux over Windows to corpos, they canât understand that there are valid reasons to switch, they are corporate and they know better than you, even when they know nothing about your field!
