I think we are looking at this from different angles. I think you are looking at the programmer perspective, and i am looking at the end-user perspective, who uses a GUI file explorer.

In the case of a GUI file explorer the search handles the case insensitivity. So for me using Dolphin in KDE if i have two files:

TEST.txt and test.txt, if i type “tes” on my keyboard, i will be given the uppercase one first. if i type “te” again, it jumps to the next fitting entry, which is test.txt. If i put “test” or “TEST” in the search bar, i will get back both results.

I see why a strictly case insensitive file system makes it easier for programmers down the line to not have to handle the different cases explicitly in their program anymore.

Hmm you’re right. I didnt notice so far, nor was it brought up as an issue.

You can activate case sensitivity since Win 10 or so.

The search string is case insensitive. The file name isnt.

So you will find all of them.

Mostly Windows, and construction industry. So projects generate anywhere from a few hundred to up to a hundred thousand files.

Everyone has their own filesystem, and then you often have one formal and multiple informal exchange platforms. You still have people throwing around stuff in E-Mails too.

It is a mess. But in this mess i didn’t come acrosse people complaining they couldnt find a file because of the letters case yet.

I see that it could be different for programmers, but i dont see that apples solution of treating upper and lowercase as identical name is the solution there, rather than working with explicit file naming conventions in the program.

if you look for a file you type the first letters for the file explorer to jump to the matching name. Retype to jump to the next fitting entry. If you don’t know about this, you can put your string in the search field. If you don’t know about this, you can sort by metadata like file size or date of last change.

It is a non problem.

Also most workplaces tend to develop a file naming convention, either explicitly or implicitly.

I work with a lot of users and a lot of files in my job.

I don’t remember a single case, where someone had an issue because of upper- or lowercase confusions.

Just shoot however many states are missing govenors in the head, as the SC has ruled the president can order anything illegal. Repeat until passed.

The US has rotten so much on the inside over the past decades, that this decline of the nation is inevitable. Question is only, if people will let the fascists control the decline until the country lies in rubbles, or if people will fight to create a new nation.

The PA is generally recognized as the government for the West Bank and supposedly all of Palestine, however defacto they are just the extended arm of the Occupation. They have been assaulting resistance forces and civilians in Jenin throughout December already, murdering a Palestinian Journalist and torturing people, among other things.

The PA is part of the “we want a peaceful solution” facade that Israels allies placate, while manifesting the occupation and annexation further.

So what is “their fault” in your eyes?

Fleeing from being murdered or starving? Working twice as much and three times as hard for a much smaller pay, than any “legal” American? Putting in the work, so there is food on your table?

I struggle to see what fault they own.

British does refer to the English blokes though. Don’t call a proud Scotsman that you think him to be British.

President just orders the police to kill everyone, who names it wrongly…

Now private business can decide if they want to comply or not.

I think just translating word by word what he says is the best way to bring across what he is trying to say anyways. its not like there is deeper structures that need to be conveyed.

I understand though, that it is difficult to do, if you are used to turning eloquence into eloquence.

I said “start with”. Which also is consistent with point 2, that it does not have to be the grand act of plotting a political execution, robbing the army of their weapons and other activities requiring strong dedication and risk taking.

Also do you expect people on an internet forum to recommend you specific actions that could be considered illegal, for which they could also get in trouble?

It is very much applicable.

Second, resistance doesn’t have to be a dramatic act. It can be a small act, like losing a sheet of paper, taking your time processing something, not serving someone in a restaurant. Small acts taken by thousands have big effects.

Fourth, part of the third point really, sometimes the best way to do things is right out in the open. Because no one will believe something like what you’re doing would be happening so blatantly. All good Social Engineers know this.

Five, bide your time. But be ready for opportunity when it strikes. Again, your action need not be dramatic. Just a little sand in the gears helps.

Every government needs to work. It depends on its loyalists to give it financial and organizational support in exchange for economic benefits.

So anything that interferes with the “normal” order of things is an act of resistance. Also don’t get fooled into the idea, that you will resist once things reach a certain threshold. By then you will feel what needs to be done to be way to big for your own abilities, since you never trained and tried to do anything.

Start with something easy like putting up political stickers around your town. That sounds easy in concept, but you already will train yourself to be brazen, but also on alert if someone politically opposed to you might want to challenge you verbally or attack you physically. You life close to an amazon warehouse? Why not skip a green phase, when the delivery trucks are lined up behind you?

Speaking of Amazon, we see with the Resistance for Palestine, that Boycotts work. Making a point of not buying products from companies that support the Israeli regime can be expanded to also making a point of not buying into the Trump government.

As it stands in terms of manifested actual political effects, not virtue signaling and token efforts, Trump managed to push for the ceasefire Biden was unwilling to apply pressure for.

We will see, how the politics of Trump look, when it comes to material on the ground effects, but Biden proudly stood by and gave more bombs while watching daily how women and children are murdered with them and millions of people have their everything destroyed.

So so far Trump did much more for Palestinian lifes than Biden. That is not a big achievement of Trump. It just shows that Biden indeed is genocide Joe, who chose every day to continue this, despite all it taking to end it being a phone call.

Also as Biden delivered weapons while Israel was murdering US aid workers he directly violated US laws.

So why should someone care about any of these issues, while you demand them to ignore the issue they care about?

Why do we accept the Democrats pitting transrights against arab childrens right to life?

Reagan threatened Israel with cutting off all aid, unless they play ball. And they did.

Without the US supporting Israel its other allies would also abandon it quickly.

So all the US has to do to make Israel do what the US says is withhold support until Israel obeys.

What Biden did instead was throwing the US to the feet of Israel, at best rambling and making token gestures. So the US halted 2.000 pound bombs? That surely didnt stop Israel from annihilating people in Gaza with the other bombs the US kept delivering.

As the Democrats have declared there is good billionaires and bad billionaires, it should be obvious that they are two sides of the same oligarchy.

If you want anything to improve you need to get rid of the oligarchy as a whole. But the oligarchy has successfully spend a lot of money on gaslighting people into fighting over which oligarchs to support instead.

“The Repbulicans under Trump will end Democracy! Vote for us!”

“How about you use your legal powers to prevent a threat to Democracy? How about you run on a popular platform?”

“Yeah no, we don’t do that. Also we got Dick Cheney on board. Look at all the ghosts of Iraqi kids he murdered glooming behind him. Aren’t they cute? Also we will enact more policies for the good billionaires. #Vibes.”

Ironically the “Free Democrats” which are like a milktoast version of Musk style Neoliberalism/light Fascism, with recent endorsements of Musk by their party leadership, have gotten a good result in the previous election primarily because of their social media campaigns. Of course having the Axel-Springer Media heavily favor them also played a role. It is the publisher that recently had Musk endorse the fascist AfD party in an article.

But if you think this “Free Democrats” only recently got in bed with fascism, don’t worry. They were also the party with the most ex-NSDAP members after WW2 and they advocated for “looking past” the Nazi history in the 50s already.
