That’s idiotic. We all know it’s a file, everything’s a FILE!
Would that make linux users filephiles?

If I’m browsing in a GUI they’re folders. If I’m using a CLI they’re directories. Except when I decide to do the opposite in either situation. Everything I do is the correct method and the only people who are wrong are whoever disagree with me. Unless they’re hot.

True…
Anyone gives me a hard time about that, I’m reverting to Amiga and calling it a “drawer”
i just call ‘em all "that fuckin’ thing" and if anyone complains, they can talk to this guy
Call them inodes and see what happens next
An inode is not a folder it’s metadata for a folder OR a file.
It would be more correct to say all folders are txt files
An inode is not a folder it’s metadata for a folder OR a file.

I say “directory” because I learned how to computer on MS-DOS.
Don’t care, KDE says “create new folder”, it’s a folder.
I use directory and folder interchangeably
Just call it a ‘container object’ and you can be technically correct in almost every context.
See also: in SQL and Dataverse, a row is called a ‘record’, but in SharePoint and Lists, a row is called an ‘item’, and MAN do people get all pissy if you get them mixed up or refer to it as a ‘row’.
It’s even more aggravating when you understand that 1) they’re all different implementations of the ‘table’ data structure, so the term is still accurate; ‘records’ and ‘items’ are just subsets of ‘rows’, and 2) SharePoint and Lists are just SQL on the backend anyway.
Like, obviously you knew what I meant, but how is your ego gonna get stroked unless you preach about pedantic details that don’t matter?
You’ll pry my old outdated terminology from my cold dead hands lol
I’ll toast to that from my Remix OS coffee mug currently sitting on my SunOS mouse pad.
I got binders full of .txt files.
Only the 1337 know that they’re really called “stores”. That’s why the command ls exists: list stores.
Obviously I’m kidding. It’s short for list, somehow. Just remove that unnecessary IT.
Ah the good ol’ “let’s abbreviate O_CREATE into O_CREAT”
or unmount into umount…
Go on, make your website colour=gray. Or was it color=grey?
it doesn’t matter, we can live with just ls
No, ls is an abbreviation of look shit (up)
I call them “bags of holding” because their capacity is undefined.
They’re called files!
