Read the article. That is not what is happening.

This problem stems from the way OneDrive handles synchronization between the cloud and a user’s local system. Disabling OneDrive Backup without explicitly restoring or relocating local copies can, in some cases, result in files being removed from both environments.

Pargin noted that the only way to remove files from OneDrive without also deleting them from the local machine is to follow a detailed, step-by-step guide “There is no intuitive way to do it,” he said, accusing Microsoft of deliberately burying the necessary controls deep within menus.

It is a dark pattern, it is meant to scare or annoy the users into paying a subscription or leave the system as is. There’s exactly one cloud service that deletes all files without warning as soon as it is disabled. There’s only one service that deletes local files without telling the users, there’s only one service that deletes both originals and cloud files when disabled, and it is only OneDrive. Every other service warns users and give grace periods for the users to download their data before deleting the files for good. It is absolutely not the user’s fault.

At work they forbade the use of one drive. It literally was consuming hundreds of terabytes of data and many more on bandwidth because they activated auto sync on thousands of laptops after an update without telling anyone. It was synching entire hard drives of confidential information without our consent. By the time our IT realized, they were trying to charge us for it (web do have SharePoint on azure). Turns out there’s some you can disable by group policy, but the shit is so embedded that it cannot be completely turned off. So they are just instructing workers how to avoid it now and warning everyone that, although we do have a quota per install of one drive, any loss of data is the worker liability as we are being told not to use it. Microsoft is such a joke.

We are facing similar issues with copilot by the way.

Still xenophobic. And your source is very open that it has selection bias and aggregation methodological issues. Essentially, it describes how migration as an aggregate, all across the world seems to function, disregarding individual peculiarities, within the people they managed to access. Migration from India to the UK doesn’t function the same as migration from Lybia to France, or Mexico to the USA and most definitely not from Venezuela to the myriad of counties the diaspora has found themselves in.

Poor immigrants do not account in this data, as they weren’t interviewed, are the most likely to be undocumented, and thus avoid attention and refuse interviews the most. It also most definitely ignores the peculiarities of Venezuelan migration. It might inform some political decision makers on a very broad and vague way. But it is an extraordinarily narrow, incomplete and impractical understanding of the issue.

Oh yes, the 7.9 million wealthy millionaires that…walked through a deadly jungle… to get to the US.

Please, Lemmy, stop trying to talk about Venezuelans as if you know shit. You don’t know jack.

Also, this post is extremely xenophobic, racist and classicist, the fact that mods let it stand is a shame.

Unironical, it kind of works like that. There are usual combos, and straying off from them costs extra.

Cool, the best AI has to offer is worse than the worst human code. Definitely worth burning the planet to a crisp for it.

I dare to wage that the top 1000 most popular artists entire body of work is already freely available in torrent form. The remainder of artists will benefit from an independent archival point of view.

It is a Vice article. It has the journalistic credibility of a dirty wet wipe.

Edit: Lol, the source is an off the cuff remark of Mike Straw on a podcast. The same Dude has been teasing this news of an alleged leak since November and produced not a single shred of evidence while being an asshat on xitter about it at the same time. This is not the first time this guy speculates over future games and is taken out of context by fans.

If we were talking about the ethnic music of an extinct tribe that uses a language on risk of disappearing, sure, you would be right.

But think about it for a bit longer. They are just a commercial production that had no cultural impact in a population. They are still getting preserved in a format with a quality degradation that is imperceptible to the human ear. That’s usually enough. Audiophiles are usually overzealous about fidelity preservation. But the efforts are often misguided and discussions abound on technical topics that ultimately don’t matter.

Gay communities are not all the same around the world. It kind of is part of the problem, grindr applies an insensitive one size fits all model. US gay culture prevalent in grindr pushes promiscuity, distorted body images and sex centered stereotypes. It used to be that the app was simply a proximity chat with basic profiles. This was a safe haven for gay men in homophobic cultures that needed a way to identify, contact and interact with other gay men without fear of violence or discrimination. Yes, it was about sex, but it was about sex as a reactionary channel for frustrated desires for human contact and emotional connection.

Today it is so enshittified and has added so many anti features that it has shifted to be the opposite. It has turned into a harassment machine, that frustrates and enrages users in an attempt to make them pay money for premium features, that used to be free, or get rid of the new ones that nobody uses. Which signals users to be and act even worse to each other in order to circumvent the exploiting anti features.

Then it also pushes things like penis size obsession, high risk multipartner encounters and unprotected sex, with a high dose of body shaming on the side. All that while showing an ad every 3 seconds (I’m not exaggerating). Without mentioning that it has always been a privacy nightmare, a vector for minor’s abuse, sex work and drug trafficking. With the app owners never doing anything of value to actually protect the users. Grindr has gotten kids and adults raped and murdered before. But it promotes PRep (in countries where the drug is banned because homophobia), so, yay!

It’s not sex in return for data, more like “you get sex, you lose confidence and any sense of self-worth, we will also show you ads every 3 seconds.”

So is grindr. Most dehumanizing app ever, so manipulative and full of ads.

The whole point of signals is because you don’t know when you haven’t noticed that someone is around. People who only use signals when someone can see them are doing it wrong as much as those who never use it. Cars have blind angles and you can’t be aware of everything going on around you all the time. That’s why you signal, so everyone has clear indication of your intents. You also reminded me of an uncle who used who always forgot to signal before a maneuver and when he realized mid-turn he would then use the signal. Like, it is of no use anymore.

There’s a couple of raunchy jokes. One implies a fish is a man’s penis, and he orgasms when you slap the fish repeatedly. There’s the cow you milk with a motion that imitates male masturbation. Also a couple of body horror stuff that look like an anus you enter into a fleshy intestine like cavern. Lot’s of sexual innuendo in dialogue jokes. Definitely not a kid’s game. Maybe play it first, it is a short game, and gauge if it is proper for your kid before playing it with them. Since the game is linear and most interactions are not optional. It’s more like teen immature humor.

The amount of shitty podcasts who use the SM7 and just don’t bother to pair it with a nice pre-amp is too damn high. It is so high, that shure now makes a dB version with an in-built pre-amplifier. That mic sounds very particular when it is improperly used and is a telltale sign the podcast is going to be shit. All the hype, no actual knowledge. (save a very few exceptions of good writers before they learned more about sound engineering)

Just like in the movie. Tom is indeed delusional, Summer is just cynical in her communications. They are both using shit software. Tom is putting all his fate on a single private company in pursuit of a misguided ideal and ignoring the red flags through rose tinted glasses. Summer doesn’t want to commit at all because she knows there’s much more complex factors at play than privacy alone but hasn’t yet found someone who makes her feel safe and secure the way she wants, so she settles temporarily for what feels fun in the moment.

For the vast part of the world, that is not the us or the EU, a PC, specially a very powerful one like for gaming, has always been an expensive luxury item. You’re just joining the club late.

Pourquoi pas?

He was the queer kid of a Latina mother in the US who liked fashion and wanted to save the environment. Then it was focus grouped to death until the director and the main star left. Pete Docter killed the film because he hates people. “Want to make films that appeals to as many people as possible” means kill minorities representation to him. This attitude will eventually bankrupt Pixar.

It makes me sad because elio was supposed to be a cute story about a queer kid learning about his place in the universe. Instead, the original director and writer got kicked, the movie was butchered and a new film was made from the corpse that had nothing to do with the original premise. Then it was released without any marketing and the animators were blamed, “the movie flopped because of bean mouth!” No, is flopped because Disney is an evil pos that only wants profit and to cause suffering to minorities in order to extricate more money for the shareholders.
