XDG dirs please and thank you
I love cloud IDEs. I love being unable to setup anything to my liking. I love using the slowest most inefficient defaults they have for us. I love being unable to code without logging in into a website. I love never learning 90% of the technologies I will be using daily and all the problems that come with it.
Lol as if anyone ran their stuff on slowdows
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.
GitHub is code social media not hosting.
GitHub is where you store your code, but it’s not where it’s actually run
I’d be afraid of anyone referencing “c:\users” too.
/mnt/c/Users/ user checking in.
That’s “C:\\Users” to you
“c:\users”? what? c:?
so it isnt a: anymore?
OP meant to say “click on My Computer,” but not everyone is super tech-savvy.
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.
looks at license agreement
No you don’t.
Uhh, I absolutely do own the hardware that is the computer.
/home
Ah you mean 127.0.0.1?
no, he obviously means localhost
or localguest, if you dont host the local party
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
I’d say it’s about cloud techs being “scared” of the local storage.
As it’s usually linux on servers and windows on-prem workstations I’d say it’s them being scared of storing anything locally.That would make sense if it didn’t use a Windows file path :D
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

boo!
edit: i guess my tilde shows up as a tick. welp… time to die in cringe of myself.
It’s ok. I see a tilde. And yes, ~
*you’re
No, you are…
i was about to say exactly that

Or like 95% of my college students. :(
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.
That’s hilarious, OP! Now do Vibe coding!
K bet
I hate how Chrome is the only browser that gives web developers an actually useful way to use local folders on the user’s device.
