    TIL case insensitive filesystems are still a thing actually in use.

    Why lol

    What the hell phoronix, why are you using that cookie vendor that will sell your data to 46396 parties and no worries, you can stop it by deselecting each one of them! You can either accept or spend the day disabling this shit.

    If that’s how it’s going to be, phoronix is done for me, sorry. I’d love to support your work even, but not with this

      Yeah, I tried disabling my ad blocker to support them, but the page does not show ads even then and complains as if it were still active, and I think it is because I left Privacy Badger on. There is no way I am turning that off, so too bad for them!

      Heck, I would even consider subscribing, but it looks like one first needs to create a forum account before one can even see the subscription price‽ What a very weird site…

    Good for him. I hate case-sensitivity, and it’s what keeps me going back to DOS & Windows. FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.

      If these were truly the same thing, you should have not written them differently.

      But you did.

        But you did.

        Remember that 99% of the time that’s gonna be because of a typo for 99% users. They won’t have File.txt, FILE.TXT and FiLe.tXt, they’ll have ReportMay.docx and REportMay.docx or whatever.

        And yeah, that includes me. I don’t want case-sensitivity for that reason alone. Thanks, but no thanks.

          I prefer computers do what I tell them to rather than what it thinks I meant to tell it to. If I screw up, why isn’t it on me to fix it? And why aren’t you proofing data entry before accepting it?

    What about case insensitive programming languages?

    Im a python programmer so I’m used to it, but my coworkers are SAS programmers that is case insensitive and they keep getting errors when trying to write python because of that.

        Python is case sensitive. I think they’re saying their coworkers are writing case insensitive code which is causing errors (perhaps writing myFunction and then calling it via myfunction which would result in an undefined error)

    Though I use a case-insensitive filesystem (APFS), I name all files lowercase with underscores and no spaces. Dates get hyphens. Example for purchase receipt to a show I’m about to attend: bloody_beetroots_2025-03-28.pdf
