20·7 个月前I have uninstalled One Drive and enabled a system policy that supposedly sets the default save location to c:\user\documents, and after every single fucking update it defaults back to one drive, hangs for 30 seconds until the stupid ass system realizes that there’s no such thing present, and then it opens a “save as” dialogue with some arbitrary path in %user_apps/appdata/onedrive.
GNARF.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•To Lemmy people who came from reddit: Have you guys tried other fedi software like mastodon or sharkey?
3·7 个月前No, I never liked Twitter, so I can’t even begin to bother about mastodon. Never heard of the other one.
I tried the Instagram clone for a few days (forgot the name), but it was so empty I left it again.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone actually like... talk to extended family/relatives? Like an active effort to maintain relations and not just because of forced family gatherings?

Stapled the whole thing in one corner, sat down at my desk, pen in hand, scribbling on the pages here and there.
