I’d be afraid of anyone referencing “c:\users” too.
That’s “C:\\Users” to you

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.

/home/ what?
it needs to be /home/$(whoami) -
looks at license agreement
No you don’t.
-
That’s “C:\\Users” to you
“c:\users”? what? c:?
so it isnt a: anymore?
-
/home/ what?
it needs to be /home/$(whoami)Nah it should be $HOME, not everyone’s home directory is in the default location.

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
-
Nah it should be $HOME, not everyone’s home directory is in the default location.
Nah you should use xdg dirs, it’s 2025.

::: spoiler All the executable files I build go straight to SysWOW64
Not really. I don’t have a SysWOW64.
I deleted it long ago, along with System32 and other such things.

I have been out of the PC game for a long time. Got a laptop recently and discovered you need to sign up for a subscription to use the office package, doesnt just come with windows any more. No big deal, my wife says she has a subscription as part of her phone contract.
Cool. Easy.
What. The fuck. Is this mess? Everything is saved on their servers instead of locally? I try to sign myself in but thats impossible because shes signed in except I cant use her licenses because im signed in which im not because shes signed in?
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE? WHO THE FUCK HAS PUT THEIR NAME TO THIS SHIT? HOW DOES ANY CUNT USE IT?
Not only that but you cant just open excel any more, you have to open the whole windows office launcher portal (which isnt even called office) and fumble your way around to try and find the file first or some bollocks? I don’t even know I nearly launched the laptop out the fucking window.

I knew you could throw Windows OS onto a laptop. Didn’t know you could throw a laptop out of Windows OS.

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)
-

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but as shown in your link,
$HOMEdoes not conflict with the XDG Base Directory Specification. It partially relies on$HOMEbeing defined. -

You have the ability to do that? Super jealous. Everything at my university was so tightly integrated with the windows ecosystem and its accounts that separating would have been an incredible amount of work.

GitHub is where you store your code, but it’s not where it’s actually run
