Have to for school. But you can also just press F12 to open the normal save dialog. (I put my school stuff in one drive anyway, I just want them in folders so I need the normal saving system.)

wizardbeard ,

Or uninstall one drive. It’s not rocket surgery and when done correctly I’ve never seen it re-enable itself after an update.

Even with it removed the save menu on office is a pain.

How much longer till Microsoft uses Windows computers across the world as a botnet. For working on it’s AI. Or some other bullshit.

lmao its a matter of time before MS decides they need to DDoS someone so hard their data center explodes and they'll be ready to do it

cyberpunk007 ,

Not sure if it’s still a thing but I remember they also used windows to distribute updates to other windows PCs in a bittorrent-like fashion.

fluckx ,

Blizzard used to do that as well with world of Warcraft updates IIRC ( during vanilla )

shadow ,

They did, and we’re really up front about it being an opt-in thing, if I remember correctly. Might have started that easy with Microsoft, too. But they can’t resist enshitifying.

It still does it. The only thing is that the awareness of this feature was spread in a way to make it sound like it was just stealing your internet for nothing (which looking at it one way, it was) so most people just turned it off.

Trainguyrom ,

Honestly that can be a good thing, especially if you have more than one windows PC in your household, it’s only downloading them once then sharing the updates about over the LAN

cyberpunk007 ,

Ya in the business world that’s what WSUS is/was for

And you’ll have to pay them a subscription fee to do it. If you don’t pay, your computer is bricked.

Wanna have something to chuckle?

I’ve made a specific email for NSFW 18+ internet websites (there’s one with achievements and I wanted to have recommendations) and this email address, being used at every single site I’ve visited more often, never got leaked.

Meanwhile I log in with Google and 4 hours later the nigerian prince asks me why I have changed my email address.

RandomLegend ,
@RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yup, i have one for adult sites aswell. Never got spam, never got leaked, nothing.

But the one from the free mail provider i used to login into big data websites is full of shit at this point.

@Dirk@lemmy.ml avatar

Configure an individual Mail address for every site you need one for. You then know who sells or loses your address without telling you.

qaz ,

I do this

fritolay ,

Do you have some tidbits to share on who is being naughty? I’m curious.

qaz ,

Sadly no, I haven’t received any spam on my 131 forwarding addresses. I have however, received spam on my new main account after sharing the address with my local hairdresser.

Aussiemandeus ,
@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone avatar

Fucking hair dressers, can’t trust em. That’s why I’m bald

BeardedGingerWonder ,

What you need to do is get each individual hair cut by a different hairdresser and then you can see which one is selling your account details or something

Aussiemandeus ,
@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone avatar

But then I would lose my completely plausible excuse for having no hair. I’d have to admit to myself that is my genetics and not by choice haha

I want to save to the share drive that looks like a regular folder path.

Jimmycrackcrack ,

Is that not how it works? I could have sworn I had it working that way the last time I used it in 2017. Had it rigged up as the location for Da Vinci Resolve database saves and also as a backup location for an Avid project that automatically copied to that folder every day. Wasn’t a fan of OneDrive as I had dropbox personally and didn’t want another cloud service where I stored all my data as one was probably bad enough, however the production I was working on had no IT infrastructure and no money and the computer we rented for the production for some reason seemed to offer oneDrive for free with the machine. (Maybe it was something to do with the 365 subscription it had?). On that basis since it was already there I used it and it actually ended up saving our asses later on after some other backup procedures didn’t end up being followed as they should have and the piece of shit rental machine totally and catastrophically broke. Still haven’t used it since, but I was pretty happy with it at the time and was only able to do all that because it was indeed a regular folder location on the machine that happened to sync with the cloud.

goosehorse ,

OneDrive decided to kick on after an overnight update and uploaded some projects and vst plugins to the cloud. Apparently, the files weren’t accessible except via the cloud, so I lost a few hours re-downloading my folders before I could do anything. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more furious over technology that I theoretically owned.

I got a PC in order to eventually go back to Linux, where at least I know that when something goes wrong, it’s generally my own fault and somewhat easy to troubleshoot. Unfortunately, the plugins I’ve been using only have Windows and Mac versions. If I had done a bit more research, I probably would have just gone with an apple device.

nightwatch_admin ,

Oh man, the memories… it wasn’t so long after “Best of Both Worlds” aired for the first time, that the Bill Gates of Borg meme was going viral on BBSs and Usenet. Oh how we laughed… and cried, for it was funny but true.

you have netflix?

i do, wanna chill? :D

KillingTimeItself ,

hm, enticing, i however have jellyfin and quite the substantial archive, does that suffice?

Squirrel ,
@Squirrel@thelemmy.club avatar

“Jellyfin and chill” sounds kinky

KillingTimeItself ,

depends on where you’re looking i suppose, though my jellyfin instance is entirely SFW, aside from the probably 5 exceptions.

I have numerous NSFW archives like the true archivist that i am however. Though i don’t have those stuffed into jellyfin or anything.

Squirrel ,
@Squirrel@thelemmy.club avatar

Oh, I just meant the name.

KillingTimeItself ,

oh, i mean maybe a little bit? Idk, seems rather fitting to me. Reminds me of jellyfish, and those are certainly chilling.

even better haha

nikaaa , in Probably, yeah

CableMonster , in Probably, yeah

Honestly if you feel bad a lot of it has to do with what you eat and how much activity you get.

nikaaa ,

Yes, except if you grow up in a neighbourhood that is a fucking trainwreck, like I did.

CableMonster ,

What is stopping you from feeling better now?

nikaaa ,

No, I’m just saying, what you eat and how you move can do a great lot to improve your general health and mood, except when the environment is total shit. Then you might still feel bad.

janus2 ,
@janus2@lemmy.zip avatar

one’s environment can have a pretty big impact on what one eats and how often one gets to move

dactylotheca OP , (edited )
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

People who have never had mental health issues be like “why don’t you just stop feeling bad?”

I know you mean well but like jesus christ

Edit: nevermind they’re a myopic self-important twat and obviously don’t mean well

CableMonster ,

Or maybe I know the importance of those things because I didnt have a good household and I am wiser than you.

Kalothar ,

Incorrect trauma has lasting effects on people, while you are talking about a temporary states caused by endorphins. Some people literally do not make enough of these chemicals, they will not suddenly start upon eating the right foods and getting physical activity.

It can help for sure.

Also, some people are genetically predisposed to being sad, anxious or what have you without any trauma.

CableMonster ,

Sure, but most of the time its down to diet and activity level.

friendly_ghost ,

Downvoting is neat; I wish it were an option here

MeowZedong ,
@MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Too bad you didn’t tell that to my brain back when I was in peak physical condition from competitive swimming! I’m sure if my brain knew that it was supposed to feel better while eating right, being extremely physically active, and consuming no drugs or alcohol, it wouldn’t have subjected me to decades of chronic depression.

Thanks for the thoughtful and well researched advice you ignorant muppet.

CableMonster ,

but most of the time

dactylotheca OP , (edited )
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

because eating right will fix the climate and the economic system

nikaaa ,

solar panels will do a lot to reduce the problem of climate change significantly.

I’m saying this because I see a lot of young people having depression due to climate doomerism, and realizing there’s an effective strategy that can be physically implemented helps a lot.

dactylotheca OP ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

If you think solar panels are the solution to our problems on a “significant” level, you clearly haven’t been paying enough attention and don’t understand the scale of the issues here – and no I’m not going to be the one who has to educate you

ReplicantBatty ,

This has some real ‘just go touch some grass’ energy. You sound like my brother who after a decade of telling me that my mental health issues are my fault because I don’t live the way he does, still can’t seem to comprehend that fucked-up brain chemistry is a thing that exists. All the salads and fresh air in the world won’t suddenly fix my neurotransmitters and just magically correct the fundamental dysfunction up there. Maybe don’t act like you know what will fix me if you don’t even understand what’s wrong with me.

200ok ,

The only solace I have is knowing that everyone eventually experiences depression. It might not be until they’re old and realize their better days are behind them but it eventually catches everyone. Then they’ll see what it’s like.

Doesn’t help today, but I silently remind myself of their destiny in those situations.

CableMonster ,

What if its not your brain chemistry and really has to do with your habits? What if brain chemistry is just an excuse? I dont know for you, but there definitely is a correlation between people doing less physical things and mental illness.

nikaaa ,

correlation does not imply causality, mind you

CableMonster ,

I totally agree, but it seems to be a direct cause.

ReplicantBatty ,

I’ve been dealing with this for over 20 years and no matter what my level of activity or diet has been, that’s never changed. I used to run marathons and was in excellent shape for years, and it never made me any less bipolar/depressive at all, that’s how I know.

CableMonster ,

If you are actively trying to get healthier, why are you on social media? I really am not trying to attack you, but social media is terrible and directly aggravates everything. As someone that has had all my sibling attempt suicide, I am sympathetic and I will try to challenge people.

ReplicantBatty ,

I’m just here for the shitposts, my dude 😎

CableMonster ,

I hear you, but social media is a place with people that want to just yell at you. More communtiy is always good!

dactylotheca OP ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

What if brain chemistry is just an excuse?

This has to be the single fucking stupidest opinion I’ve seen anyone voice whole year. Jesus fuck, forget anything I said about how I think you mean well, because you clearly don’t. You’re a fucking walking and talking example of the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon who has their head so far up their ass that they think brain chemistry is an excuse, and that your fantastically idiotic opinions clearly mean you’re wiser than the rest of us plebs when you can’t even process the thought that maybe mental illness could affect how much someone exercises. How you manage to function in society without dying of drinking bleach is completely beyond me
