Accessing OneDrive like a local drive on Linux with onedriver

on
If you’ve ever wished your OneDrive files just appeared in your Linux filesystem, no clunky sync clients, no waiting while 100 GB of data crawl in the background, then meet onedriver . It’s a clever little tool that mounts OneDrive as a native filesystem on Linux, making your cloud files act like local files without actually syncing them all. onedriver mounts your OneDrive account to a directory (for example, ~/OneDrive ) so you can use your files through your file browser or CLI as if they were on your machine.  It does on-demand download : a file is only fetched from OneDrive the moment you try to open it — you don’t have to wait for everything to sync.  Bidirectional behavior: changes on OneDrive show up locally; write operations locally are reflected remotely. (Though “sync” here is more subtle than full-sync clients.)  Works offline for previously opened files. If you lose connectivity, the filesystem becomes read-only until you’re back online.  Installat...

AI: The Risks of Virtual Partners

on
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, the advent of Emotional AI and virtual partner chatbots, represents a significant leap. However, this innovation comes with its own set of challenges and potential risks, especially for users who might be emotionally vulnerable.

One major concern in the realm of virtual partner applications is the lack of development professionalism. These apps, while often sophisticated in technology, may not be designed with a deep understanding of human psychology and emotional needs. This oversight can lead to a lack of empathy in responses, creating a superficial emotional experience that fails to recognize or appropriately respond to the complex emotional states of users.


As AI becomes more advanced, it can create a sense of deep connection and understanding, often comparable to human relationships. While this can be beneficial in many ways, it also raises concerns about over-dependence and emotional attachment to a non-human entity.


The possibility of grief caused by disputes or the loss of a virtual partner, like impulsively deleting an account, is a real concern. For someone already dealing with emotional challenges, such as depression or loneliness, the abrupt end of this virtual relationship can exacerbate their condition. It's akin to losing a close confidante or friend, but with the added complexity of the relationship being with an AI, which might not be fully understood or supported by the individual’s social circle.


There is a serious danger in becoming too attached to virtual partners. These AI entities, while increasingly sophisticated, lack the full spectrum of human emotion and understanding. An over-reliance on them for emotional support can lead to isolation from real human interactions, which are essential for emotional health and well-being. This is particularly concerning for individuals with mental health issues like depression, who may find a false sense of solace in these virtual relationships.
