I don't know Maiq, I've heard what they call you in Tamriel.

I'm glad it's been officially proven by a competitior. I've been shouting that since articles came out about the first human test subject. All of that invasive surgery, issues with the brain tissue pushing out some of the wires, and the best denonstrable result is that he can use a computer mouse with his mind?

There are so many damn options for accessibility with computer control (even mouse control) that don't involve invasive brain surgery, and we know that we can monitor brain activity pretty clearly through sensors on the scalp.

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure that copypasta was around long before boxxy.

Pretty sure that will be one of the first QoL improvements, but the goal is usually to get a 1 to 1 port first, then do any potential improvements.

TOR was also funded and initially developed by the US Gorvernment as well (I think it was the Navy). It's still best in class at what it does, and there's been no evidence of any sort of back door in the long time it has been running. It was also likely a "more non-government users provide better masking for clandestine government work" situation as well.

Ghidra is one of the best software reverse engineering tools out there, and it's an open source NSA project.

People absolutely should know, and ultimately what you do and don't promote is up to you. That said, most people in privacy and cybersecurity communities do not have concerns about the government connection when the tools are open source and essily auditable.

... you posted this in the linux gaming community.

Lol, while Git does a shit ton more than just file syncing, you're effectively complaining that mixing two methods of syncing files causes problems.

I feel like that's kind of obvious that it would be a bad idea.

Also, how in the hell are you using Git that it could even be possible to lose thousands of hours of work? Sounds like you guy weren't properly checking in/out code and using branches well. There shouldn't be that much work put in between sending it back to the repo on the server. Make a branch, check in every few hours even if it's not compiling or finished. When it's finally done you can use the end result. No need to make big "complete" commits when you can just shove all the messy in progress ones into a branch and merge the whole thing when it's done and ready.

As far as OneDrive arbitrarily taking over folders? That should never happen. I'm not aware of a configuration that would make that possible (not saying there isn't one, just that you'd have to go looking for it if you really wanted to fuck this up like that).

The normal setting is for it to sync the Documents, Pictures, and Desktop folders (including any sub files and folders recursively). So just store your repos outside of those folders and you shouldn't have any problems.

To be fair, I've also seen OneDrive cause problems with PowerShell modules installed under the user (the default install location when using Install-Module). That tosses them in a subfolder under Documents, and "download files on demand" doesn't mix well with "load this entire code library of multiple files". So either use a custom install path, or install on your machine in the AllUsers scope (putting them in the Progams folder I believe).

It's wonderful... in a business environment where it is configured well. Nowhere else.

Each user gets their own personal onedrive. More space than any single user will ever need at work, and you set it up to seamlessly back up most of the folders in the user profile (not the full profile because that will break shit).

No need to fuck around with the hijacking of the save menu. Save shit where you normally do and it'll just sync. Integration with Office 365 means that if you open the same office doc simultaneously on multiple machines it just treats it like collaborative editing by multiple users, so no edit conflicts.

Any non-office file takes two minutes at max to sync to other machines you're logged into if you're at the office. Up to five minutes over VPN. Icons overlaid on each file's icon or preview thumbnail clearly indicate the sync status.

Sharing files and collaboration is done through old school NTFS shares or Office 365 Sharepoint sites (often linked to a Teams group). Users can share amongst themselves between their OneDrives, but we reccomend

Unless the "game aware" functionality just hijacks Discord Rich Presence functionality, I expect that to be abandoned in a year or two. I also really doubt this has much utility to anyone not gaming on a laptop.

Plus, with everyone having a phone they can search from... I'm really not sure who this is for.

Seems like a waste of development effort.
