Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily

: Then shalt thee change the setting three times, no more!

According to Microsoft's documentation, a user can only change the setting to enable or disable the new People section three times a year.

Thank you for the tip. Disgusting how "features" like this are turned on by default.

If I wanted to encrypt everything I put on OneDrive, hopefully something that is crossplatform, how'd I do that? I'm on linux right now.

EDIT: A quick search brings up VeraCrypt a bunch of times and it's apparently FOSS, does anyone have experiences with it?

Veracrypt is intended for local file system encryption. Do not use it for cloud encryption. You will need to reupload the entire encrypted file that encapsulates all your encrypted files every time you make a change, which eats a lot of date/bandwidth as it increases in size.

You probably want something like cryfs or cryptomater, like the other commenter mentioned. gocryptfs might work if you do not care about Microsoft trying to guess the contents of your files based on their metadata/file size and how that changes over time. (See watermarking attacks for details)
