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.

Yeah but at least the bread was free and the circuses were good. Now bread costs another dollar more every time there are 'supply chain issues' and the circus is what we used to call news.

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.

Ass hat also suffices.

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

newfangled... SysVInit

You mean systemd? Cause SysVInit was created in 1991 based on Unix System V from 1983. Which means it's literally older than Miley Cyrus.

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

AdNauseam integrates with UBO, so you'd get both. Basically, it virtualizes clicks on ads so ad sellers get charged for the click but it's all hidden in the background from you.

That said, I kinda have mixed feelings about it. Ad clicks will help support sites you like, so even if you're blocking ads you're still getting 'served' and 'interacting' with them. On the other hand, it tells sites 'hey all these ads you're serving aren't making your website shitty and unusable (but they generally are) so keep it up! And it tells ad agencies and the industry 'oh yeah we sure love clicking ads keep slapping them in my face at every corner'. And if ad buyers are realizing their clicks are all ghost clicks, they'll stop buying ad space. Which just means shittier lowest common denominator ads in more places.

Often you'll find a 'print recipe' button somewhere near the top of the page. Click on that, it'll take you to what you're looking for without all of the crap nobody cares about.
