    I want to have granular control over where my files are stored. If I want them stored in the cloud, I want that to be a choice I consciously make, not something that’s defaulted at the operating system level.

    So the hatred isn’t really directed at OneDrive, it’s directed at the fact that the operating system is making decisions for me, and they don’t line up with what I actually want my computer to do.






  • Sounds like he doesn’t want to spend his time tinkering, but playing.

    Ehhh, I feel like this person is a tinkerer, it’s just the things they wanna tinker with don’t play nice with Linux.

    Installing a modded version of Minecraft indicates a desire to tinker. Roblox is a game based around the concept of tinkering. EA games (especially ones from 7 years ago) require some level of tinkering even in Windows.





  • Blockchain (assuming that’s what your digital receipts are based on) has no concept of identity. They’re anonymous by design. Because of that, the concept of “ownership” doesn’t really jive with blockchain, because the concept of “ownership” is inherently based on identity. All blockchain is good for is “yes, this transaction is valid”, or “no, this transaction is invalid”, where a “transaction” is simply the transfer of digital goods (cryptocurrency, nfts, whatever else) from one crypto wallet to another. Anyone with the keys to a particular crypto wallet can access the contents of said wallet, whether they “own” it or not.

    So yes, the receipt cannot be forged. The receipt is next to useless though, because all it says is “here’s a record of this valid transaction between these two crypto wallets” - there’s no record of real, actual ownership or identification involved. And at the end of the day, bits are bits. You can wave your receipt at me all day and claim your bits are the “real” ones, but they’re no different from my bits that I downloaded from Twitter.

    It doesn’t really even protect against online attacks though. Like, if you’re going through a list of known accounts, by definition it won’t be any of those accounts’ first time logging in, right?

    And if you’re not going through a list of known accounts, good luck getting anywhere with your attack any time this millennia
