Thank you for the detailed reply.

1. I’ve used onedriver previously, or rather I do use it on my backup machine. While it works well what I’m missing is a progress indication for the download of files, I occasionally work with bigger video files f.ex. Also an option to keep directories synced permanently to the device would be great. In OneDrive you can check a box in the context menu to ‘make files available offline’. It keeps the file/directory synced and available offline. This is again useful for bigger projects. I could of course move those to a temporary location on disk but I do like the set and forget nature of working in automatically synced directories.

2. I assumed that’s best practice, thank you. What I find overwhelming is the amount of choice. Which is a general Linux “problem” I suppose. Yes, it’s possible and elegant to manage everything through the package manager and the default repos. But if I search for a specific program, like f.ex. a clipboard manager, I might just get recommended something that is not there. And all of a sudden I have an appimage. Or the nextcloud client for example, it’s on the flathub but only the appimage supports the above file on-demand feature.
   Btw, how can I be sure that software from the flathub is kept up to date? My understanding is that it’s often community maintained?

Fortunately it’s just my personal machine. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

It’ll be enough of a challenge to properly transition existing docx to the gsuite were switching to.

See my comment below, we’re moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to do so in the shared folder. We’ll see if that’s true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.

Ding ding ding

From one evil to another…

The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to work in the shared folders. If that’s true, we’ll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

Wait, what?? I might have to replay it!

Bullshit, by 2030 everything will be doomscrollable thanks to generative text AI. Our marketing department has done some research and concluded that our customers will stop using their device if they hit the bottom.

Slaughter them for one last time and spare their future generations by removing their lineage from existence. Nbd

True, but people generally understand hammers. Llms? Not so much

Nah bro we’ll fix it software. Like virtual backgrounds but for sound bro!

I mean 2.4mio divided by 30k is 80. So that’s a lot of patreon months…

Why so jerious?

Ich sah, ich kam, ich schmiss meine frisch angezogene Unterhose direkt in die Wäsche.

Where do the Jews come into play you nutter?

It’s qualifying you for a real idiot problem, that’s for sure.

Completely agree, it’s basically just botanicals anyway. Well and booze

Non alcoholic beer has gotten a lot better the last years as well.

Pretty much. It’s incredibly tiring

In a 100 years it might, after our current world order has been consumed by the effects of unimpeded climate change. There’s hope yet for the Palestinians to have a go. /s

Nuclear fission is not paying for the biggest externality either, its waste products. That for some reason seems to be the people’s problem. And even then there doesn’t exist a permanent storage solution for it as of today anywhere on the planet (yes, I know Finland thinks they have it figured out next year, but at a capacity of 5500t it will only hold the waste of the 5 Finnish reactors). It’s absolute insanity to me how this gets brushed away so easily.

Thank you! I probably could have been more elaborate in the op. But it doesn’t seem like people really paid attention to it regardless. I don’t just plop in a message I received and go with whatever response. I sanitize the received message of personal information as much as possible, then I let the LLM know what I want to say, and then use the response as a starting point which I’ll further edit. Admittedly sometimes I get something that is just bang on and I’ll copy paste. But it rarely happens since the model can’t match my personal writing style.

As you recognise, it’s still my thoughts and feelings. It’s akin to having a secretary writing drafts for you maybe? Not that I would know anything about having a secretary, ha!

This is pretty much how I use it as well!! I wasn’t very detailed in the op.

And yes, the positive feedback is gold!
