"Cloud" Devs

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
- 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
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.
- Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.
  
  As a university sysadmin that spent half a fucking hour yesterday trying to log someone out of a classroom computer's MS Office software (the "sign out" button did fuck all, go figure): fuck Microsoft, fuck Office, fuck Outlook, fuck Onedrive, fuck their SSO, and their mother too. Next semester I'm sanitizing the computers. Students will use LibreOffice and they'll like it.
  I might be a little angry.
  
  As a young engineer I went all in on SharePoint when it came to our company. Became evangelical and learned how to make it do all sorts of shit.
  How naive I was...
/home
I’d be afraid of anyone referencing “c:\users” too.
- OP meant to say "click on My Computer," but not everyone is super tech-savvy.
- That's "C:\Users" to you
  
  "c:\users"? what? c:?
  so it isnt a: anymore?
- "Windows meme makers, can you go five seconds without revealing your appalling lack of technical curiosity?"
  Windows Meme Makers: "The C drive! ...... How long was that?"
  
  About 260 characters in length I think
Please use /home/ instead.
- /home/ what? it needs to be /home/$(whoami)
  
  Nah it should be $HOME, not everyone's home directory is in the default location.
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, ~
That's hilarious, OP! Now do Vibe coding!
- K bet
Or like 95% of my college students. :(
*you're
- No, you are…
- i was about to say exactly that

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.
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API
  The File System API — with extensions provided via the File System Access API to access files on the device file system — allows read, write and file management capabilities.
  Uhhh, what? Firefox uses Chrome's API to do the same stuff? Am I missing something here?
  
  Oh, does it work in Firefox now? When I was developing a music app it only worked properly on Chrome and I had to use a file picker workaround for Firefox and other browsers.
