I’d be afraid of anyone referencing “c:\users” too.
That’s “C:\\Users” to you
“c:\users”? what? c:?
so it isnt a: anymore?
A: was for saving 💾.
yall no longer use the funni bendy disk then?
I had a portable floppy drive for years, but it was useless.
i have one
but it broke and i dont have the materials to fix it

Windows Meme Makers: “The C drive! … How long was that?”
About 260 characters in length I think
/mnt/c/Users/ user checking in.
OP meant to say “click on My Computer,” but not everyone is super tech-savvy.
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.
Nah you should use xdg dirs, it’s 2025.
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.Subdirs of
$HOMEare used as defaults. So using$HOMEalone is not enough. Also, prior to xdg dirs, applications were (many still are) storing their data under$HOME/.myapplication/.
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 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
Ah you mean 127.0.0.1?
no, he obviously means localhost
or localguest, if you dont host the local party

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, ~
I see a tidle, daddy~
brb washing my… yea all of it
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
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

i do all my coding in c:\documents and settings
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.do all your coding in 8.3 filename convention.
i do (unless you count the copies with “_final” and similars appended to the name)
All my programs install straight into c:, directories are for the weak.
arrange all programs by penis

Lol as if anyone ran their stuff on slowdows
Or like 95% of my college students. :(
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.
That’s hilarious, OP! Now do Vibe coding!
K bet
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.
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 where you store your code, but it’s not where it’s actually run
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.
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.
