dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I literally just made a new documents folder called something else to avoid confusion. In addition to excising OneDrive from every new Windows install.

Another problem with that is that audio software like sample-based virtual instruments store all the data in the documents folder, which quickly takes up any cloud space I had. That clearly belongs in some sort of app data folder, but that hasn't been the guidance from Microsoft to developers.

Everything uses the documents folder because everything on windows is a backwards-compatible pile of spaghetti.

Games even use the "Documents" folder instead of the "My Games" folder, or .../%appdata/local. There is soft-guidance from Microsoft, but it's not really enforced, and idk what the APIs are like for saving stuff.
