Schrödinger's PratI have seen some tomfuckery in my time, but this one is absolutely baffling.
Stuart Celarier ❌👑@Rhodium103 I'll admit that looks weird, however the reason for running the Python in the cloud is so that a Python payload can't maliciously access resources on your computer, install malware, or otherwise pose a security risk to your assets. Like most security issues, it is a trade-off.
j.r / Julian@VisualStuart @Rhodium103 Same could have been achieved with a properly sandboxed python interpreter that runs locally...
@VisualStuart @Rhodium103 yeah, but why can't MS just implement such a solution?
Oh yeah, forgot, they can't track the users without running in the cloud 🙈
@jr @Rhodium103 Perhaps you could read the announcement before going on about conspiracy theories?
@VisualStuart @Rhodium103 I did and there is exactly no reason why they need to run it inside the cloud...
🐧DaveNull🐧 ☣️pResident Evil☣@jr Thre's no valid reason for it, but marketing bullshit and money…
They do it to make profit from libre software's community work and charge people for using "their innovative cloud service". Won't take long before "but it has powerful cloud scripting features… libreoffice sucks cause it doesn't have it¹" will become the next "msoffice is better/required for professionnal work" argument…
1. Obviously, LO doesn't need to fucking charge people to use a damn scripting language, which has been available to everyone, and runs perfectly fine on users' own computers…
