don't trust cloud services with creative work

You can go back to college at any age as long as you’ve got the money for classes.
i see you must be from the freedom country. in civilized world, you can do that without the money
it is just that the wording wasn't very clear. -

Am I too old? I only trust hard saving to offline storage. Be that an external hdd or a flash drive.
You are not too old. I feel the exact same way. Anything worth keeping should be saved locally. Plus storage today is so cheap, there really is no excuse to save exclusively on the cloud.

yeah, no. that is literally it. once you pay the tuition (where applicable), you can visit the classes. you specifically used the phrase "money for classes", so don't try to bullshit your way around what you said. i know you need to eat and house yourself. these are not money for classes.

You have such nice ways of getting your points across to people. I'm sure you make friends super easy. Yeah, I'm aware I live in a shithole country. You don't have to be an elitist dick about it.

I just realized the other day that one of the updates on my Chromebook automatically installed something called "NotebookLM" on my app bar. Never asked for it. Never even looked at apps on my Chromebook before. But it's there now, and it super secret bloodswap pinky swares it won't steal my ideas or writing. What an odd thing to say on first open.

alright, cool. so what?
So its a pretty small number of words.

They said Intel ME, not Israel ME.
Holy shit. I had forgotten that they did that. Guess the exploding pagers were kind of overshadowed by the genocide.

I mean it's technically permanent as long as your organization continues paying for the license
Of course, they could downgrade your license or revoke it at any time. And they definitely will revoke it when you graduate (so they can reallocate the licensing costs to new students).
Your work/school accounts don't belong to you.
Forgot to mention but my school advertised permanent access to our school email, which back then meant free student benefits like the education unlimited storage. I technically still do have access, but it's a lot less useful nowadays
Google just went back on that education unlimited thing because they realized it was not sustainable, so my school had to enforce it somehow

Alright cool, probably takes a long time to do while also having a job and a family, but I'm just saying there were times in college where I wrote out 5k words in a day, formatted and typeset within a week.
Do you think your 5k words in a day were written well enough for someone to pay for it? Homework is not a product you have to market.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I was a 3.8 with degrees in Engineering and a minor in Humanities, and yes actually I am a published scifi writer as well.
I don't mean to put anybody down, unlike you, but 12k simply isn't a lot in the context of a manuscript.
Anybody reading this who dabbles in writing should spend more time on it to reach realistic goals in their lifetime.

I do my writing in markdown. Keeps me from being distracted over formatting. Easily converted to HTML/EPUB for review and editing. git + plaintext + pandoc is a dream.
Yes, same here - I do all my show scripts in Markdown. My editor of choice is IntelliJ. For any non-technical writers here, IntelliJ is like what Scrivener wants to be when it grows up.

reads like an ad for that service they plugged

Cryptomator is a great tool for this
Or rclone.

Ah yes, the very first lesson I'd teach in my multimedia 'authoring' class: Back your shit up, here's 11 ways to do that; if you EVER tell me you lost your work as an excuse I'm going to LAUGH IN YOUR FACE as I assign you a ZERO.
This is the policy of most colleges these days. The school will provide a service to do that but it's up to the student to ensure their work is backed up. Granted most schools only offer OneDrive but still, you're told ahead of time.

Maybe, but it's a well known writer's tool. I don't think they need to push this angle.

Lawrence of Arabia?
Joker, the best movie ever made.
It has driven OP down a dark and twisted path of fighting THE MAN

My point is that your 3.8 Engineering/Humanities assignment is not a product that needs to marketed to the masses. 5k words in that space is easy, and I think this because I have done the same thing in the same field (Engr).
12k words isn't a huge amount, but as a published sci-fi writer you already understand that fictional writing is a saturated market with brutal competition, and publisher deal deadlines can be brutal too.

a bit harsh, but often the most important lessons in life are those that hurt the most.
I was training students for a deadline driven technical field. They needed to know that when deadline day comes, it's not "oopsie doopsy" my dog ate my homework, it's you are now out of business, everybody you work alongside is jobless, you are bankrupt, get your resume going and good luck dude.

The fuck was this dude watching/writing down for google to think it was related to terrorism or trafficking????
It should not matter at all what he wrote. This is absolutely the wrong question to focus on.
