How about crud permission system (lemmy.ml)

F-ing up myself is part of my routine. I always rm files that I don't mean to (obviously not always but it happens). So I think it would be nice to have separate 'delete' permission. With that I could protect my files from accidental 'rm's. What's your opinion

These days if the file is write protected, you get prompted for whether you really want to remove it. I don't know when that change appeared or whether it's universal.

No thats how it works. It hasnt changed. But lemmy hit you with my experience. I have 'notes' Dir. I write a lot. So I want myself 'write' permission but 'delete'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
