OneDrive allows to save files directly to the cloud?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

MS Office has integration. It's pretty useful in a corporate environment.

Oh you want to delete a file from your folder? Ok, we'll also delete it from OneDrive so it's gone forever, see ya!

Adobe pulls that shit too.

And it's really easy to not really think about what you're doing and accidentally save to the cloud.

Then later wonder what the fuck happened to the file you spent three hours on when you came back from lunch.

Fucking Adobe.

Adobe also recently snuck into their ToS that they could use whatever you made with their products for training AI and then gaslit everyone saying "we never said that" and changed their ToS. You know where you can't access my stuff? In a cloud.

And I also don't want programs to throw all their crap in the documents folder. AppData is made for that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

SO MUCH. Now my standard procedure is to just make a "_My_Documents" folder within Documents, so I can know where the files are that I put there myself.

(Leading underscore pops it to the top of the list alphabetically)

I remember some Windows versions had a Games folder for all that, saved games, etc...but it seems very few games actually decided to use it lol.

~/.config :>

And now show hidden files and you see the plethora of applications that dump everything in your homedir instead of .config

Hint for KDE folks: Ctrl + h toggles hidden visibility. Makes navigating lots easier. :D

Its even worse when they dont make it a hidden folder (looking at you android studio)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

yup...

.hidden file became my best friend - and a little context menu script for dolphin to easily add a file / folder to that .hidden is a thing i use way too often tbh
