Nothing? She already has access to it all anyway…
This is the way, don’t hide shit, be open. If you feel the need to hide stuff from your gf/bf get out of the relationship. Them having full access is a trust thing and shows you’re mature enough for a serious relationship imo.
100% my girl doesn’t want to know and I don’t want the headache if she did. It’s okay to have privacy in a relationship
Dunno, but I have a girlfriend now.
Congrats, bro.
Thanks, bro! But she has all my files now.
All your file are belong to us!
Aka you don’t have any files
I’d start by wondering how in the hell I got a girlfriend, then my wife would do the same.
My girlfriend would break up with me as she finds out that I’m married. Doesn’t matter; imaginary score is still score.
Technically, your wife is still your girlfriend. You two never broke up before getting married.
It’ll take her so long to scroll through all the movies and TV episodes that she’ll never get far enough down the file tree to find the niche porn.
How niche are we talking
NOT illegal, and not crazy shocking weird. But niche enough that when I find content I like, I do try to download it because finding it again on the typical streaming sources can sometimes be a crapshoot.
What if she uses a file search?
She’d have to know what to search for first
My current partner usually complains that my porn is not hentai or not weird enough for her taste. 🙈 So I think she’d scroll past the porn to the movies and TV shows because she’s bored.
Apparently, OP is the only one who’s got something to hide from his girlfriend.
I don’t have one
Checkmate (or stalemate or checkmate against myself, not sure)
That explains the question in the OP ;)
Trust is the basis of any relationship. No trust, no relationship. At least not for long.
She would be disappointed in how untidy my files are.
"Why is the final version of this project called “test1_b_new_reworked_draft_2_prefinal_dif_font_b_temp_FINAL.png”?
She would then forgive me because her filing is worse than mine.
Use git.
Please.
I’m begging you.
For image files? I know you can save image files and git but I just don’t know what it does with them.
It just keeps a copy.
Don’t use git for images (or most other binary data)
It’s still way better than _final_fixed(2) version control.
What do you propose to use as a version control for images?
Idk, but not anything that uses delta compression like git does.
Game developers use Perforce and Plastic scm which is (supposedly) optimized for images and other binary assets. I’ve never used them, but I’m sure a less-overkill and open source alternative exists somewhere.
That’s the thing, everything that I could find is a huge project made for storing huge projects, costs a lot of money and requires effort to install and even use. Yeah, naked git basically stores new version of an image for every commit, but nothing beats the fact that you need like two commands to use it and it just works, and storage is very cheap this days. And if you add LFS, it even does some kind of storage compression.
There is always git LFS
Git is version control
from what I remember, Git is just a file system under the hood. So it would just end up saving a copy of each image under the hood.
I’d imagine you’d be hard pressed to find a non-programmer who knows what that is.
I’m not a programmer and I agree. Only after getting into 3d art I started hearing about it and I don’t think I’ve ever used it, let alone understand it, it’s the sort of thing the technical artists know about. Nobody ever suggested me to use it for my images or 3d models.
As a visual artist I can confirm the “image_final_final2_b_final” trope is as real as it gets
*nobody until now
Use git
Much less even knows how or why to use it lol
Git is used in other contexts besides programming
Not in many. And usually it happens whenever a programmer does non-programming stuff.
Found the Flash developer.
“I want this to show up first alphabetically. Better add an underscore to the start” eventually leading to ____________important.final.final4.png
I’d then be asking myself when and why I got a girlfriend.
No how?
Probably not, I learned early on the “how” depends on the person. So asking how one gets into a relationship is like asking how one wins at cards. The cards decide. Your chances also severely change based on the environment you’re in.
Today so she can break your heart, obviously
That moment when I’m gay and didn’t even know it.
If I had a girlfriend, then several gigabytes of my files would be largely useless
Ha, look at this loser, only has “several gigabytes” of ‘Linux ISOs’
She’d have a banger movie and music collection, along with VMs full of malware.
I see we have a gigachad here
If she’s my girlfriend, she’s not going to judge, and instead lend me some of her clothes, help me with makeup, and discover that she’s not 100% straight after all
Wife already has access to my computer and all my files.
Do people not stream their porn nowadays?
VR porn needs to be at least 4k for immersion and you can only get that quality with a paid account. But that’s a waste of money so you pay for one month and fill a hard drive before you cancel.
There’s other secret stuff asides from porn you know? Not that I have any. Heard it from a friend.
My wife gets mad that I have a girlfriend.
I become very confused at finding out that I have a girlfriend.
My wife is my ex-girlfriend, but we’re still dating. She gets mildly amused when I point this out, but she might just be humoring me.
She’ll get bored as going through those files. Meanwhile I’ll be trying to figure out if her sudden presence in my life means I’m now bi or homosexual
Eh, don’t sweat it. If you like someone, you like someone, there’s nothing more to it.
Agreed but that hypothetical instance of myself has no idea how she got a girlfriend in the first place. Know thyself
You know what, yeah. Maybe you should start asking questions if a girlfriend just appears out of thin air
My bf wouldn’t care, lol. It’s mostly boring. And the spicy stuff is already stuff he’s seen.
Same.
Btw it’s so lame that OP assumes it’s only guys here. There’s dozens of us!!!
Women can have girlfriends, too!
I think the better wording for the title would be “partner” rather than girlfriend 👍
Oh, I’m a guy, I’m just bi. But I also am glad it’s more diverse than just guys too! :D
If you go to the sub-category of women with girlfriends (just to fulfill the specifics of the OP), that group gets smaller.
I actually made a conscious decision to annoy you
My files are already unencrypted and she has the password to my pc. We’re both adults so she obviously knows that I watch porn so they wouldn’t surprise her. Everything else is just boring stuff.
Who saves porn?
Listen… it’s for… archival and digital preservation purposes.
and we all have a white whale out there we wished we saved but can’t remember what it was called and can’t find it again, wishing we had saved it
Have faith in T H E C L O U D
Have faith in the internet continuing to exist.
Until the walled garden method and tax write-offs remove such things from the internet and leave them entirely to the realm of archiving and piracy, if that.
Have you been paying attention to what Discovery and Netflix have been doing?
well sometimes the network connection goes down
