Fascinating to learn that the entire concept of dotfiles in Unix was an accidental result of a lazy implementation of hiding the . and .. files in the output of ls.

I found this neat little repo that gives some tips for decluttering $HOME: https://github.com/vizs/declutter-home

I've employed some of them myself, managed to get the total number of files+dirs in $HOME down to around 18. Sadly I expect that number to rise as I install more programs.

Some dotfiles, like ~/.dbus cannot be changed because the path is hardcoded. Which makes me very sad

Do you really need to censor "crap"?

I don't think there is a need for redacting crap, and shit or fuck neither for that matter. It's not like we did not recognize these words anyway. So we fully get their intent and their meaning and we are just decorating their writing or their sound. I don't get the point.

If they are deemed offensive, TVs and newsletters should avoid their use and formulate differently in the first place.

This disgusting urge to self censor stems from big tech censoring the entire content for it or at least shadowing it or negative effects in algos. I fucking hate it. Worst offender the word "darn” or whatever theses pussies use instead of damn. Seriously is you culture this pathetic that you can't even say DAMN IT anymore.
