So I’ve read the linked policy and believe it or not, but turns out we literally cannot use Microsoft Services to conduct crimes against Humanity or do things that are illegal in +99% of all countries.

I’m usually not easily triggered, but why should I pay for a Corp that seems to view me as a malware and spam distributing pedophile terrorist bully that is involved in drug trade and human trafficking?

And who exactly is this aimed for? Which criminal on god’s forsaken earth will read this and conclude, oh darn it, guess I need to stop my operations then?

Also, the Services Agreement etc. is full of language like “we might delete your account and Data for reason X, Y or Z or maybe for no reason at all lol”, which is itself bullying and causes stress, cuz for example, it’s still not clear whether we can use stuff like Cryptomator, Joplin or Duplicati (never had a Problem with it, but still, why not clarify that instead of “don’t commit stuff that will land you in a Cell in Den Haag”)

I know most of you use Linux, and this might be what finally pushes me to that step too. Never saw an Ad in MS, it’s not bloated, and I trust Defender, BitLocker, Core Isolation, Secure Boot and the Memory and Folder Protection stuff, but don’t need to be insulted like that. Just need to find an Office Writer with tracked Changes in Balloons, LanguageTool support and something like AHK.

Bonus Question. Has anyone a batch/torrent Download link for 1 TB of Public Domain Images? Doesn’t matter what it is, Art, Space, Stock images, just something that is ok with the MS Guidelines. I might not use the storage anymore, but I’m sure gonna use it.
