I've had that experience myself and I can totally blame Microsoft. I've been coding with FoxPro for over a year. In those days you could easily code for hours and save your work only at the end. FoxPro had a well designed dialog that asked you "Save file.ext" with default on Yes

Then Microsoft acquired FoxPro, you couldn't tell before/after by design, but first MS FoxPro UI change you could find was the dialog was changed to "Quit without saving".

Nice (at least I've only lost a full day of two programmers work)

That's to add an "authority". Done that. But firefox doesn't find a personal (id) cert signed by that CA (fnmt.es)

I can't. Firefox on Android doesn't handle my personal certificate so it's a hassle to access gov sites

File existing and we're able to read it are two quite different conditions

I'd rather use this one which extends to all screens, but I've never used Windows on my systems (excepting Windows 2000 Pro for a year).

You usually should go with the symlinks for a normal usage. There're marginal use cases where you mount a folder, like modifying permissions, attributes, with not straight to learn tools like bindfs.

You mount a filesystem (container), whereas a folder is something contained in a filesystem (IOW, not a filesystem)

You're saying that in the U.S. you enter your office on Monday and exit on Tuesday?

If you want/like/enjoy something, do it, don’t listen to others. It’s also OK to learn something but never use it, either for the joy of learning or learning new things and new ways of looking at things.

Perl was my first favorite programming language, I really liked it. my brain could connect with it easily(same thing wasn’t true for other PLs). It even helped me understand other programming languages better.

Pretty much this ^ Besides that, I still miss Perl, I loved it!

My current favorite language is Raku.

I was once also looking while Perl6 was evolving, and somehow liked it, but there was something keeping me out. There were no plans to allow me to use Perl6 the same way I (and everyone) uses Perl5: $ binaryinterpreter script.pl

Maybe they'll will hear their users instead of ignoring (reasonable) requests (like a toolbar, or sorting status bar items) that are many years old and have thousands of stars.
