Can I say that I think "off of" is the ugliest language construct I have ever seen?
But how else could you possibly say, "Get that weak shit off of my track?"
Perhaps you just don't like it in places where "from" would be appropriate...?
Outta
"Away from"
well that means something different. in @[email protected]'s example, off of would imply taking the car or whatever physically off of the track, even if only by a few feet, while away from would mean something further removed, like out of the complex or down the street.
In german we dont have that XD it works
Just "weg von" thats it.
I see.
But what if you don't want it away, you just want it off but nearby?
Agreed. They could just drop the "of" and make it more elegant and just as clear, imo.
OK, now do it in OneDrive
How about Nextcloud? If that works, you could host Nextcloud on that computer and use that for booting another computer. Better yet, you could make several layers of bootception that way. Here’s how. Computer A runs whatever distro + Nextcloud and hosts an Arch image. Computer B uses that image to boot up only to run Nextcloud and another image of Arch. Then computer C uses the image hosted on B that and so on. If you want to aim for the next level circular bootception, you make computer A use the image hosted on computer Z.
