I’d be afraid of anyone referencing “c:\users” too.

    Nah it should be $HOME, not everyone's home directory is in the default location.

    Fuck OneDrive with a rusty hook.

    Ok, so not OneDrive generally but specifically the unholy merging of OD and Win11. JFC when I navigate to a folder and save a file there THAT FILE HAD BETTER FUCKING BE THERE and not in some shadow folder you default mapped to OneDrive because FUCK ME, RIGHT?

    This irritates me so much. Get off my lawn.

    Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.

    As a university sysadmin that spent half a fucking hour yesterday trying to log someone out of a classroom computer's MS Office software (the "sign out" button did fuck all, go figure): fuck Microsoft, fuck Office, fuck Outlook, fuck Onedrive, fuck their SSO, and their mother too. Next semester I'm sanitizing the computers. Students will use LibreOffice and they'll like it.

    I might be a little angry.

    Lmao I did the same thing today, trying to teach a particularly.. 'beginner' user how to sign into outlook. I was going to have them sign in again in front of me, but without my help. It wouldn't sign out so I just gave up

    I have been out of the PC game for a long time. Got a laptop recently and discovered you need to sign up for a subscription to use the office package, doesnt just come with windows any more. No big deal, my wife says she has a subscription as part of her phone contract.

    Cool. Easy.

    What. The fuck. Is this mess? Everything is saved on their servers instead of locally? I try to sign myself in but thats impossible because shes signed in except I cant use her licenses because im signed in which im not because shes signed in?

    WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE? WHO THE FUCK HAS PUT THEIR NAME TO THIS SHIT? HOW DOES ANY CUNT USE IT?

    Not only that but you cant just open excel any more, you have to open the whole windows office launcher portal (which isnt even called office) and fumble your way around to try and find the file first or some bollocks? I don't even know I nearly launched the laptop out the fucking window.

    Wait I'm confused is this about people developing cloud software or is this about people who do their development on a remote cloud machine? It seems to be about the latter but I've never seen that

    Oooh the latter would make so much more sense! I'm not a cloud developer, but a good chunk of the code I write runs in AWS Lambdas and EC2 Images and I was so confused as to what relation that would even have to local storage. If anything, I'm afraid of Terraform and it's arcane power

    My Windows libraries are mapped to my G Drive. Save it in Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, whatever? Backed up on a local (shitty) RAID and automatically uploaded to my Google account. Burn my house down, I got it all for $100 bucks a year insurance.

    Is Git Hub not considered a cloud? Why does it matter where one stores files, what does that have to do with ability? Or is this really about developing the technology, and in turn provoking said fear in people? (I am not a developer)

    GitHub is kind of a cloud service, but it isn't a server host. Cloud development is just more…abstracted than traditional web development. Instead of controlling a computer and choosing how to store files and managing ports and firewalls and making backups and serving requests and redirecting to closer servers and making sure you have enough computing power but not too much computing power and all that stuff, you instead just give Amazon/Microsoft/Google your code and data and pay them to do all that for you.
