  • that makes sense...but why is there two of them? That's really weird. And I don't think they want you to quit OneDrive...

    Also, since they own the operating system (Windows), they could easily just sync the folders directly. (Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Music, and Videos) That's where most people put their files in, so why not just sync that? Why move everything into a special OneDrive directory with all the issues that comes with that?

  • rivers

  • I like vscodium. Basically the same as vscode but without MS stuff. (but that also means a few extensions are gone, like the c/c++ extension and intellicode)

  • A VPN. I couldn’t get V2rayA (the vpn uses v2ray, there’s a win + mac app for that specific vpn but not linux) to work. I might have to have another crack at it soon…

    edit: Clash Verge (rev) works like a charm! Hooray!

  • I edited my post, thanks for telling me :D

  • letting AI do whatever it wants to your files is not very good...

  • possible issues:

    1. blurred a part of the photo that shouldn't be blurred, data loss
    2. erased the wrong object, data loss
    3. deleted large chunks of content in my docs/ppts/spreadsheets I wanted to keep, data loss

    This is a really bad idea

  • I'm not missing anything, even games run fine with Wine/Proton. Also, a lot of the Linux games a really fun! (I personally enjoy Xonotic and SuperTuxKart. I also like to play custom roms with mgba) The only thing I'm missing is pretty much ONE really niche network program thing which didn't have a Linux version. Everything else either has a Linux version, is a Windows game that can be run with Wine, or has some Linux alternative (think inkscape, kdenlive, okular)

  • looks pretty cool. Unfortunately I do not currently use an Android phone. My old iphone is still going strong and it probably doesn't need to be replaced for a while.

  • Why MIcrosoft can't develop a good desktop app when they have a huge amount of money and loads of staff. Not to mention owning the operating system a majority of people use, meaning the app, syncing, backing up, etc. can be super optimised for it without any fuss for using workarounds. NO MS, PUTTING ALL MY FILES INTO A "OneDrive" FOLDER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. WHY IS THERE TWO OF THEM??? "OneDrive" and "OneDrive - [org name]"???? WHAT??? AND YOUR TASKBAR ICON THING FOR ONEDRIVE IS ANNOYING. WHY CAN'T I QUIT ONEDRIVE WITHOUT OPENING THE MENU?????????

    Thankfully I switched to more competent cloud providers. pCloud is pretty good, they just sync your files. No stupid "moving all your folders into a pcloud folder and making two of them one of which is empty for some reason". Super duper simple. And pcloud definitely has many times less budget and staff than MS. Jottacloud is also great, pretty similar to pcloud in that it only syncs files. WHY ARE THESE MUCH SMALLER COMPANIES DOING A WAY BETTER JOB THAN MS???????

  • ok, got it! :D thanks!

  • always using a bag clip. Reusing the bag clip if it needs to be eaten soon (e.g. at a party) since it's less of a fuss to remove it.

  • not saying it's important, but if you tell a meat-lover to give up meat they will say no. Maybe it wasn't the best analogy...

  • but it tastes so good...

  • Money mostly. It generates a lot of profit and it costs money to switch. In many of countries oil, gas, etc. are like a huge portion of their GDP. It's like trying to get people to eat less meat. It would be better and more environmentally friendly, but everyone is too dependent on meat.

  • the US probably.

  • LibreOffice's UI is fine on Linux, on Windows not so much. OnlyOffice is a good alternative for Windows

  • This happened to me once and I had to redo my coursework over the weekend...now I use Fedora :D

  • woah, that's a lot of information. Atomic distros do sound pretty good. I might try one someday, but I've already setup Fedora Workstation and am very happy with it :D
