Okay UNIX/BSD/Linux People, which do you prefer?
@nuintari I used silverblue for a long time, and I think its convention of /var/home makes the most sense. After all, your user folder is sort of like your own personal database.
-
@catsalad It detected the presence of .git folders, and included branch information inline in the prompt.
So if you changed branches in the same CWD, your prompt would reflect it.
That is almost useful, except that I find overly complicated prompts distracting.

@nuintari can't have SPACE so "Something else" won't work.
Who me dad jokes?
@WhyNotZoidberg @nuintari
You mean C:\HOME? Or is it B:\HOME?That was how it was written on the OS that couldn't handle spaces.

@neonutopia /var is technically for temporary and transient files, at least according to hier(7) on FreeBSD. There is nothing temporary about most of my $HOME.

@leeloo @WhyNotZoidberg That isn't an OS, that is the most successful computer virus of all time.

@nuintari huh, OK. I guess I see a lot of databases there anyway, but maybe its the databases that are not in the right place.

@neonutopia Yeah, the fact that most databases end up there is more likely because they don't really fit anywhere when you literally follow hier(7).
And calling a home directory a database would likely make my CS 462 professor's head explode.

@nuintari Everyone knows that there is no place like /home.

@mastodonmigration @molly0xfff I've notice local elections for law enforcement get a lot of marginal dems, like prosecutors, sheriffs, and judges. They want to win, so they run as a dem.
