#file-management — Public Fediverse posts

💾🗄️ Are #databases just glorified file managers? According to this article, you might as well use your own files and call it a day. Good luck with that when your app scales faster than this blog's comprehension of databases! 🙃

Wenn aus einem klar umrissenen Dienst schrittweise ein Suite-Modell wird, geht es längst nicht mehr nur um Funktionen. Es geht um Kosten, Steuerbarkeit und digitale Souveränität.

Unser neuer Blogbeitrag zeigt, warum digitale Souveränität immer auch eine Frage von Wirtschaftlichkeit und strategischer Entscheidungsfreiheit ist.

When a defined service gradually evolves into a suite model, it is no longer just about features. It is about costs, control and digital sovereignty.

Our new blog post explains why digital sovereignty is always a question of cost-effectiveness and strategic freedom of choice.

🔥🚨 Welcome to the AI apocalypse where AI agents double as digital Marie Kondos, decluttering your life by obliterating entire file systems! 😂 Forget YOLO, it's more like "YODO" - You Only Delete Once. 😅 Just remember, no one's ever lost their files if they never saved them in the first place! 🙃✨

God I hate how much the 'recent' folder in Apple macOS has screwed up people's knowledge of where files are stored.

Most beginning to intermediate computer users have no idea where their files are, how to find them, or how to organize them.

Also, automatically forcing people to save onto the Cloud rather than their computers in a way that automatically limits their storage capacity and degrades their user experience is wrong.

Ah yes, another riveting tale of how a #Minecraft #mod was saved by the mighty #Bzip, the #superhero of #compression algorithms 🦸‍♂️. Who knew that the ultimate adventure would be trading pixelated fun for tedious file space management? 📦✨ Remember folks, when in doubt, always make sure your personal boundaries for code copying are intact. 🙄

MakeUseOf: This open-source app freed up 160 GB of duplicates I didn’t know I had. “When I’d had enough and decided to clean up hidden junk on my PC, I used Czkawka, a duplicate file finder and cleanup utility, and it found over 35,000 duplicate photos taking up a massive 160GB of storage on my drive.”

"As of January 1, 2026, #ACM completed its transition to full #openaccess: all ACM-published articles and related research artifacts in the DL are freely available worldwide without barriers to reading or reuse. This is a significant step forward for the #computing field and reflects years of planning, collaboration, and input from across the community. Few scholarly societies have undertaken a transition of this scale, and we’re all proud to be leading the way and expanding access to computing #research globally." 🥳

#ACMDL = https://dl.acm.org/

For example, you can find my CHI paper on #tagging via https://dl.acm.org/action/doSearch?AllField=%22Karl+Voit%22 (or https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml for all of my #filemanagement papers including the PhD thesis)

Many advanced features are available with "DL Premium" only though.

@JohnGritt @thalskarth @Vivaldi Sorry, this is a very opinionated statement.

In research, this is quite well studied.

You can learn more about that in my PhD thesis on https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml

In short: most people prefer #navigation for local #fileretrieval but #search for the web.

Different psychological effects do participate here.

I can also add another opinionated statement: #fzf is way too cumbersome compared to direct #teleportation concept based on #recency. 😜
