@i0null@infosec.exchange There was a time, long ago, when there was no standard Downloads folder and the browser always asked you where to put your downloads. Now it became a trash heap that I am too lazy to clean. So it shall remain that way.

@poorpocketsmcnewhold@mamot.fr 2026-06-16 19:54
@i0null@infosec.exchange Actually remind me of all the software that actually hardcode ~/Downloads expecting all their users to use an English formatted system. Atleast, nothing that a symlink can't fix.

@licho@kolektiva.social 2026-06-16 19:58
@i0null@infosec.exchange I guess it wouldn't be that hard to get the browser to recommend a folder based on the mime type

@i0null@infosec.exchange lately, with the way I've started to use flatseal restrictions, my downloads folder has also become my uploads folder.
-
@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social 2026-06-16 21:54
@i0null@infosec.exchange No. Everything goes in ~/Downloads/tmp It's a very organized way of doing things. Everyone else is just wrong.
