They are children. Wtf is this analogy of yours. Yes, if a starving child that was all alone asked to be fed and then when I told them I didn’t have the means to support them (because, you know, I’m not fucking country, but some countries are in fact countries and have the resources of an entire nation) and would need to send them on their way, yes, I would make sure the starving child that was all alone had some proper way to get somewhere safe and not just send them back on the streets. Not really a wild concept.

I saw someone suggest Connect for Lemmy yesterday, Android app that has both instance blocking and keyword filtering. Overall the app is fine but until I find something I love that supports the filtering it’s more than sufficient.

The president of Stanford University has stepped down in the wake of an independent investigation that found “substandard practices” in research papers he was involved in.

Already plenty of support for your cause.

There’s only one website I’ve ever visited on IE, Edge, Safari, Chrome and it’s https://getfirefox.com

for one reason or another

Money. The reason is money.

Exactly. That is quite specifically what he wants.

Xxx.xxx.xxx is just an arbitrary subdomain of xxx.xxx though.

You can apparently have up to 127 levels, so long as any level is 63 or less characters and the whole domain string is 253 or less.

I’m not going to type it all but it could be x.x.x.x.x.x…(several many more .x.x)…x.x.x.xxx if they really wanted.

We Lemmy users have seen. I mean everyone has seen I guess, but, it really seems like most people just don’t care. They’d rather have convenience and comfort of big brother squeezing their balls in a vice rather than put a little thought or effort into controlling their own lives and choices.

the os doesn’t create the files, the application does

When an application wants to create a file, who does it ask for permission? Who facilitates finding a spot on the disk for the new files to go?

Frankly I can’t speak to the overhead for managing it but the OS is aware and could very much keep track of which applications own what. As for shared directories if they know the specific app owner obviously just remove files from app A but keep the directory if app B also uses it.

As for configuration files and save data, these are generally located in consistent places but ultimately that’s going to be a responsibility of the app developer to keep with standards for where those config files go so they can persist through reinstalls.

‘Do you want to delete this application completely, or would you like to keep configuration files and save data?’

But Apple doesn’t really care, they want everything to feel seamless and look pretty. Actual functionality is a second thought.

People already dismiss anything that doesn’t align with their thoughts and feelings. Truth and facts are irrelevant, this changes nothing.

But if it was a default functionality from Apple, presumably apps would be packaged, installed, and run in such a way that the OS is aware of what files it’s creating and use that context to clean up after themselves properly when uninstalled.

And we’re still here, going strong. Long live the Fediverse.

So someone should only care about their progeny, everyone else is ‘irrelevant’. That’s certainly a take.
