I’ve recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a
littlelot inside when I learned that.In filenames? AMATEURS! Use obscure Unicode in your passphrases for maximum security. Ctrl-Shift-U, enter arbitrary code point, bam! 🦊 Works even better with a Compose key and a nice, chonky
.XComposefile to throw some gr∑∑k letters around, for instance, like some confused script kiddie. :)On topic: There are multiple variants of spaces in Unicode. You’re welcome, and now go and create something utterly deranged with that information.
Some grSSk letters?
yes, grSSk letters
Microsoft intentionally made programs install to C:\Program Files on Windows 95+ to force programmers to deal with spaces in filenames.
Someone make one of those “statements made by the utterly deranged” memes about it, please and thank you.
what is even more funny about this is that the name of that directory used to be locale-dependent, so in sweden it was just called “Program”, completely nullifying that idea.
C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
C:\ProgramData
C:\PROGRA~1
me coming back to cmd after spending a month in command.com:
It’s only localised in the file explorer. The actual folder name is always Program Files.
Only since vista, it used to be localized.
what about placeholders/variables like %localappdata%, %windir%, %programfiles%?
I can only assume these always existed, otherwise it would have been a nightmare for everyone.
Excel used to have, and I think it still has, localised function names.
Makes it a nightmare to look up stuff on the Internet.
the entirety of office has localised hotkeys. whaddayamean ^F is “search”? it’s for fat text!
