OKAY THAT ORIGINAL POST ENTIRELY BYPASSED MY USUAL "DOUBT EVERYTHING IMPORTANT YOU SEE ON TUMBLR UNTIL YOU'VE FACT CHECKED" BECAUSE IT PANICKED ME SO MUCH

thank you for the reblog and correction!

This Google Drive AI scraping bullshit actually makes me want to cry. My entire life is packed into Google Drive. All of my writing over the years, all of my academic documents, everything.

I’m just so overwhelmed with all the shit I’m going to have to move. I’m lucky to have Scrivener, but online data storage has been super important as I’ve had so many shitty computers, and the only reason I haven’t lost work is because Google Drive has been my backup storage unit.

My partner has recommended gitlab to move my files to - it seems useful, and I can try and explain more about what it is and how it works when I get more familiar with it. I’m unsure if it’s a text editor, or can work that way. He was explaining something about the version history that I don’t quite understand right now but might later. I’m just super overwhelmed and frustrated that this is the dystopia we live in right now.
