Boy if iCloud defaults annoy you, wait until you see recent versions of Windows.

By default they put your entire desktop folder, documents folder, etc. as children folders of the OneDrive folder now.

It's absolutely infuriating

Yep - I dropped Windows 10 like the hot garbage it was. I suffered through Windows 8 expecting that things might turn around, and even on the insider builds it consistently felt like Windows was an ad delivery platform. I was disappointed to watch Apple fumble their opportunity to make OSX the true Windows-killer.

Now that I daily-drive Linux, I don't log-on to Windows or Mac systems without a deposit for the troubles. I truly feel bad looking out at the modern landscape of mainstream operating systems. It's no wonder most people feel trapped by modern technology.

That’s a feature, though. My parents, our CEo, etc. never lose a file. And if they get a new device everything just shows up on the new device. It’s sort of magical, actually.
