I'm surprised you don't lose Unix certification with crap like case insensitive filesystem defaults.

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

I don't want to be like Stack Overflow, but tbh you have some design problems if you rely on case sensitive filesystems.

I haven’t heard this before, what are they?

Most importantly readability and usability for the user and debugging. Some programs aren't case sensitive.

[-] QuaternionsRock@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

That last point is somewhat amusing considering you have to go out of your way to make your program case-insensitive.

Both HFS Plus and APFS can have case sensitivity enabled, it's optional.

Enabling it has had a tendency to break third party Mac software though. Adobe used to be a particularly bad offender there.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
