I pay for gym just to force myself to go. Uni had a free gym and I used it a lot the first month, then nothing. I just don't have the discipline...

The point is to make money, do they charge extra to increase the data cap? If so, it's all about money.

Googledrive works as network drive and that's a problem. Have you tried to run MATLAB scrips with a virtual drive? Or open an obsidian vault in a virtual drive?

What I mean by "personal cloud services" is actually trying to avoid those professional cloud storage that you mention, not everyone wants to selfhost or pay for teras of storage. I just want my personal files to be accessible from my work computers (has to be windows, not my choice) and my personal computers (Linux based).

Yeah, that works as intended, what I meant is to have offline files, (full on sync folders) not only the virtual disc mounted. I work with lots of scripts (MATLAB) and the speed is significantly slower for virtual files.

I agree! But it's surprising that even Google doesn't have a native app for Drive. There's one for android, but not for Linux? I'm guessing it all boils down to number of users,, but still...

On the same boat, I would gladly change, but most of my collaborators still use software you can only use on windows, I could use VMs or emulators, but it usually breaks my workflow anyway.

Yeah, but that piece of software didn't came up to existence out of nowhere. Someone invested time, or paid for infrastructure to complete it. When you steal electricity, most of the cost is because of the infrastructure you used, which you will never own anyway.

I agree information should be free, as long as the generator of that information agrees with it.

Saying that, I still pirate things, not because I think I'm entitled to do it, that's a very poor excuse.

In South America too. Professorors provide PDFs and in my time even photocopies of the relevant chapters.

I'm guessing he means in engineering (excluding computational). I'm a chemical engineer, and yes, MATLAB is everywhere, only few know about Octave, and python is used mostly for personal projects, I've never seen it in an industrial environment, apart maybe web base user interfaces, but don't get me started with LabVIEW.

I hear that everywhere in here, but it doesn't make any sense. Do you own the electricity network? Do you own the maid that clean your house? Do you own the room in the hotel? Is it justified not to pay for those services?

Ops, didn't read the description of the post (just woke up).

Omori. If you don't cry when playing that game, you are a monster...

But more seriously, even though it's the best storytelling I've seen in ages, I wouldn't recommend it if you are depressed, that game hits hard.
