I haven't used Windows in a few years (and never used OneDrive), so pinch of salt time, but...

I don't like the idea of M$ having direct access to all of my files and personal data

That and, there have been mishaps with OD deleting files

Also, i personally don't like software automagic, especially when i don't understand what is going on under the hood

Is OD just a folder? Where are my documents actually stored? What happens if my internet goes out? How much do i trust M$ to not bungle something or sell or leak my files?

Try one of these: https://a.co/d/08I5FYeD

Cats really only like to scratch on tall and sturdy things like trees or heavy couches

If their post isn't tall enough, they can't get a good stretch out of it

If the post tips over easily, they just won't want to use it (you can also use a heavy weight to keep the base steady, but I find that solution rather cumbersome )

Be calm, gentle, but firm. No build up, no "I'm sorry kitty, don't be mad" and try not to be tense. Just do it. (If you're tense, they're tense)

Use a treat or food to distract the cat, and hold them firmly (preferably, have a second pair of hands, but I manage just fine on my own)

Proceed with the processes, even if the cat complains, or gets a little feisty (back off if they're ballistic). Let them know (with your body language) that you're not stopping because they're unhappy

Also, make sure they have a good footing. Cats get uneasy if they don't have their feet on something, or if the ground is slippery (like a bathtub)

Put a towel in the bottom of the tub to give them better footing (not the best solution, but it works)

Just a software dev furry passing by

I brought one into the office because we only had 1 plunger between 2 stalls

I just scheduled an appointment, after about 1.5 years

So yeah, I can relate

I would use it, if KDE plasma would support it in their settings GUI

I pulled a literal ball of pet fur out of the optical sensor

You know,
I thought that, with Lemmy being less popular than Reddit, there would be less political propaganda messaging on here

But it seems I'm mistaken

I said nothing about socialism

I said "political propaganda messaging", of which i find annoying even if they support my political views

This one hits scarily close to home

I even use a non-POSIX shell (https://www.nushell.sh/), with my config synced with Syncthing

I personally do most of my heavy scripting in python

I dunno really, something about tech support and no money

I was having a hard time with the fursuit, and she just said "forget it" after the third time i mentioned GNU/Linux

This is true

Although, i find this isn't as much an issue if you use python's STL as much as you can

Pathlib and shutil are really handy for file manips

But, yea interfacing with external CLI utilities like git is a PITA

Oh there's also xonsh which is just a shell built put of python

I feel like the people who complain about systemd have never tried to mess with sysVinit scripts before

6+ years ago, I was trying to configure a touchscreen HAT for a raspberry pi, and dicking with the init.rc script was a massive pain
