I'm not seeing Deadpool as a great contrast of irony to sincerity. It's funny because he's cynically ironic, but all about getting to the truth and reality of the human condition in the current circumstance. And as a character, he's incredibly sincere, despite seeming to be indifferent.

No, because humanity has always had the same issues, and things are easily arguably better today than at any other time.

Things like starvation around the world have been driven down 30% in a 10-year period. The difference between my parents generation and mine are staggering, and then from mine to the next even more so.

You have to look past the talking heads, past the headlines - those are designed to sound awful to gather attention and to frankly, piss people off.

To quote Men In Black, "there's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague".

I'll blame the drivers (and some of that blame lands on MS).

I've never seen an ad on Windows. Not sure what people do to get ads.

  1. Just installed Debian, no wifi

  2. Lots more stuff just like #1, such as my 10 year old and 3 month old Logitech wireless mice weren't detected, and support for them is (fortunately) only available from a third party, which I found by searching the web for an answer.

I could give you pages of why Linux doesn't compare to Windows for the desktop, which I'd follow with where it really shines - as a server for all kinds of things. It's so good for specific tasks that even VMware replaced their own Workstation virtualization with Linux KVM.

I was thinking Top Gear.

Unhinged or older?

Which one? 😁

Are you looking for selective sync, and just over the LAN or over the internet too?

If just LAN, there's many Windows sync tools for this with varying levels of complexity and capability. Even just a simple batch file with a copy command.

I'll often just setup a Robocopy job for something that's a regular sync.

If you open files over a network connection, they stay remote and remain remote when you save. Though this isn't best practice (Windows and apps are known for having hiccups with remotely opened files).

Two other approaches:

  1. ResilioSync enables selective sync. If you change a file you've synchronized locally, the changed file will sync back to the source.

  2. Mesh network such as Wireguard, Tailscale, Hamachi. Each enables you to maintain an encrypted connection between your devices that the system sees as a LAN (with encryption). If you're only using Windows, I'd recommend starting with Hamachi, it's easier to get started. If mobile device support is needed, use Wireguard or Tailscale (Tailscale uses Wireguard, but easier to setup).

Hahahahaha, made me actually laugh out loud. Glad I'm not reading at work.

Take your upvote.

Policy doesn't count for anything. So what if they claim they won't sell data about you? They still can, and companies do.

Or they sell the entire company, like 23AndMe just did.
