Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Kids today barely know what a file is. I have to regularly explain folders and file types. When I asked them where they saved a thing, they answer "On the computer" and look at me like I'm crazy for asking that.

    yes, because folders are not something thats really worthwhile in a filesystem. they're a vestige of an earlier time.

    Folders, or directories, really, may not be worthwhile, but when you have more than fifteen files, they're quite convenient.

    Userspace concept is my point dont need them in the file system itself

    [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    In that case you're left with applications implementing it, and hoping for something homogeneous. Which may or may not happen.
    I wouldn't trust it.

    sounds like a you problem. if you think longer on it maybe you'll come up with the obvious layer to implement it at that isn't the kernel.

    folders are a convenient organization strategy

    [–] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

    Indeed they are! Just don't need them in the filesystem itself
