  1. Why?

  2. Kind of weird. It gets cheaper and cheaper to posses your own powerful devices, but people seem to pay a lot of money for storing and computing data online.

  3. Sounds more like digital socialism to me.

  4. I don't get it. Do you want to make a point? Or is this some kind of joke?

  5. The only „Cloud” I use to store data is gitlab for my repos. And most of them are downloaded to multiple computers.

  6.  @Jupiter__001_  I know. So do you want to say, cloud computing is more like communism than socialism, or why are you telling me this?

  7. Why would you even want to sync all your stuff? I normally would just want to sync a few specified files, mostly configs, like my i3 config or config.fish, but also some private projects, which I upload as git repos anyway. For everything else, I'm happy, when I don't have it on my other PC.

  8. I use thunderbird. It's still better than using the browser for checking mails. I didn't try many mail clients yet, but I see no good reason to switch. So I guess, it's fine.

  9. Why?

  10. What if the internet goes away for some weeks?

  11. Doesn't thunderbird just download the mails? I can also read them offline.

  12. I would try to rebel as much as I can. Just say, your new computer does not support google drive or something like that. And using another computer is against your beliefs, or something like that. But if you somehow can, you should probably leave school and not go to university. In school, you normally don't learn efficiently, and a bunch of unimportant things. I think, it's best to learn the things you need by yourself. The good reasons for visiting school and university are these: * you are forced to do something => but it's better to learn how to motivate yourself. You will need this later anyway * you get certificates, which for some jobs are important => but they are not that important. In the time, you normally would "learn", you could work on your own projects, or learn even more, find important contacts to other people, etc. which would all help you finding a good job.

  13. Probably depends. I guess it's not a good idea to download all the porn, you are interested in, and then you only watch it once, because most porn you watch once isn't good enough for watching it twice, and most of it you wouldn't even watch twice. But if you really like something, you should download it. Else it might just disappear.

  14. Is it really illegal in the USA to have copies of movies on your PC, which you have bought?
