Uh,, cool! I just realized, I can use the Unicode Symbol U+2044 as a forwards slash in file names. These ⁄ .⁄ ⁄ ⁄ are working with NTFS without causing an issue. This is quite nice, because the regular / / / / slashes just won't work.

I still don't use space in file names because it wan't allowed when I started using computers and I still don't trust it to work 😅

@amoroso @lproven Well, I can think of many ways how to improve #computers. 😉

https://karl-voit.at/2018/10/17/ted-nelson-interview/Once you've got rid of #filenames, #folders, #applications, ... you will find much room for coming up with something fundamental new. This
time without adapting humans for the computer but the otherwise round: creating the ultimate digital tool for the humans.This can never be reached by an evolutionary process like suggested in the article.
I disagree with the judgment that we tried hard.
There's no incentive for a revolution. No one is able to start this process. We're pretty much stuck.
This is not the top of the IT industry. We're still in its stone age and made a situation where any fundamental change is a downside somehow. A local optimum but never ever the global one, if you like.

I don't want to live in this world any more.

@kaito02 Well, I try to get rid of #NixOS as soon as possible because of the large number of flaws it has according to my use-cases and my perspective. (WIll blog about it.)
However, this image contains just bullshit arguments.
For example, what entity defines what #filenames should contain and what not? 🤔
#Immutability has clear advantages for security reasons alone. (Not that I'd invest the additional effort here.)
"They have played us for absolute fools" -> who forced you to setup Nix?

Great 5 minute presentation from @jennybryan on how to name files.
I've been writing code for 40 years and I learned several new ideas.

@pvanb Also, if you DO put a #date in your #filenames but DONT use #ISO8601 date format I super duper especially fucking hate you.

Are you fucking kidding me? On what planet does that make any sense whatsoever. Just give me

#Dropbox announced features that automatically rename #filenames and move to specific #folders: https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/product/new-features-to-keep-files-organized
So they basically implemented my #guessfilename and my #guesstargetfolder:

Hmmm...I wouldn't try this, but it has its use cases.
"Linux 5.2 was released over one year ago and with it, a new feature was added to support optimized case-insensitive file name lookups in the Ext4 filesystem. [...] [T]his seems like a good time as any to take a look on why this was merged, and how to put it to work."
