It's worth noting that it all started on APRIL FOOL'S DAY (2015). That was the convenient day the author of the project decided to say in the comments for a random Github commit "hey, anybody wants to take this over? I'm

OneDrive comes back to the File Explorer after each Windows 10 big update, even if you disable its icon with the registry editor. The same happens to the library folders (Videos, Pictures etc.).

The author likely interviewed public university Humanities professors about it all, and they defend PT and its failed policies above everything. They are even still in denial about Venezuela. Maybe they want us to become like it. I'm v
