    The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

      I’m Guessing he downloaded it from chatgpt, hence the location

        That’s a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder’s contents.

        If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.

        What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.

          As a web dev I’m not worried, but chatgpt has been useful figuring out some Godot/C# oddities that come with learning a new language. I worry for the new people who will just use what it says and not learn anything.

          Even then, it will spit out methods and signatures from different but similar libraries (litedb and sqlite for instance)

          But like @[email protected] said, I was expecting it to be a single page, probably rammed with unnecessary JavaScript.

            It’s interesting because it lets regular people with little to no training produce software.

            It isn’t great software, it doesn’t always work… but considering the amount of software that an untrained person could produce previously was exactly none, it’s a pretty interesting development in technology.

            and, it’s only going to get better.

          I dunno bro, I can really see how the chicken could be enticed to cross the road by virtue of his chicken instincts. I’m something of a biologist myself

        Mine is definitely a junk drawer of random nonsense that is tens of gigs in size.

        I wanted to recover files from an old hard drive for a Linux install I had for about a decade, it was not fun to look through for the handful of files I wanted.

        Keep 3 folders on your desktop, “In” “Out” and the trash that’s built in to most DEs. Put things you want out of the way in “In”, move them to “Out” when you’re thinking about getting rid of them, if they’ve been in “Out” a long time move them to trash.

        I decided to sort my downloads folder into directories and it’s so worth it

          Agree. The default download location on iOS and padOS is iCloud and it’s pretty clear that Microsoft is chasing Apple’s monetization model.

              The commenter suggested the file would be downloaded to onedrive. This implies that it doesn’t touch the computer.

                Windows has a onedrive folder locally, which is the one that person is talking about. C: users isn’t in the onedrive folder.

                I’m not sure you know how onedrive works tbh.

                  It scares me how many people don’t know this. The amount of people who have sent me and the rest of my team angry emails about how MS Defender is going “beyond its jurisdiction” after removing pirated software from their OneDrive is staggering.

        I did a quick install of windows (last year I think?) and it sorted everything into a onedrive folder. documents, pictures, videos, downloads, all that stuff, looked normal from the file explorer, but was sneakily placed into a onedrive folder. it went something like c:/users/me/onedrive/. didn’t realize what it had done until like 2 days later and it gave me some popup about not being able to upload. i don’t even have a onedrive account; it just decided that was how it should be done. no idea what, if anything, it actually uploaded.

        now if i have to install windows i have a script from privacy.sexy i run before doing anything else. havent had that happen again yet. still, probably best to assume anything on a windows machine is not private.

          Sorry but no.

          OneDrive would never back up a Downloads folder, that is just silly with the amount of data it gathers. Would fill up MS servers in no time.

          The only folders it may put automatically in OneDrive are Pictures, Documents and Desktop.

              I believe you. When my ex got a laptop, literally every folder was onedrive. Even system folders were mapped to onedrive it was ridiculous. I had to backup all her stuff and manually fix the fuckery in the registry editor before i could uninstall onedrive.

            I think it might offer Downloads as an optional checkbox to select on first login, but can’t remember off top of my head. Also, they definitely want you to blow through your free storage to give you a reason to upgrade the storage.
