  • Two clicks to do what? I mean okay, if I just want to close the tab so I don't have to look at it anymore that is maybe the one action I can perform in there within two clicks but what else can get done with just two clicks? First you need to navigate to the file which is painfully slow and inconsistent and then you need to select an operation from a usually nested context menu.

  • Locally I usually just use the terminal/CLI (on Linux), much more flexible and you can use scripts or specialized tools (like rsync or fdupes) for operations you need to perform repeatedly. GUIs just tend to be too slow and repetitive for my taste.

    On the other hand Google Drive is still a lot better than that monstrosity you need to battle if you want to actually create API keys for any Google product so for my limited needs I usually just deal with using it every month or two when I really need to.

  • To be fair that is the kind of place where the argument "move somewhere cheaper then if your income doesn't match the cost of living" does have some merit. Oh, and fuck the employers who pay wages below the cost of living in their area.

  • Google Drive is tedious as hell to use. The UI is utter garbage. Yes, eventually you can get it to do what you want but it is absolutely painful, especially with its background operations that are not reflected in the UI (e.g. you delete something large, it blocks you from deleting the seemingly empty shared drive until that background operation is done but doesn't tell you why in the UI).

  • Maybe, just maybe, if anti CSAM activists didn't let themselves be abused by surveillance fanatics and authoritarians over and over and over again to reduce privacy and other basic rights to the point where any mention of "protecting the children" is now seen by the vast majority of people as almost certainly an excuse for horrible rights abuses whenever it is mentioned by politicians we wouldn't be in this situation.

  • I agree that Europe needs to get its shit together on defense sooner rather than later but the comment I replied to was about spin and the US will not succeed in spinning this as something positive if they help Russia occupy part of Europe.
