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.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    sorry man you are a perfect example of the comic.
    cause most people also dont know what denying system file access even means.

    Drag is using language you can understand easily, because drag is talking to you. To a normal person, drag would say "You know how on your phone, you can't just look at your files? Like you have a separate app for photos, and documents, and you can't just look at all your files from one app like you can on PC? Well, you can actually if you use an android. Here's the app that does it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.files&hl=en_AU"

    Drag even casually named an operating system during that speech, and would have been understood perfectly by most people.

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week 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.

    Enlighten us instead of being a dick lol

    See desktop portals, and desktop environments you dont need to use the kernel for the folder structure. And shared implantations for adding them in are fairly trivial.

    I think you're confusing user interfaces and API structures there.

    Also file systems don't have to be in the kernel. User space file systems are a thing and work fine.

    ??? Im not confusing those at all. You literally just repeated what i said.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    folders are a convenient organization strategy

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

    They certainly know that it's bullshit to find half the stuff they saved because it's not in folders that make sense to them.
