Ozzie D, NP-hard :bikepump: :vegan:<p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PetPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PetPeeve</span></a>: I hate that "Music" is one of the standard home folders on desktop computers. I love music, but I want it to be "Audio" -- not all audio is music (plus "audio" pairs better with "video"). When was this default established, in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> X 10.0, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WinNT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WinNT</span></a>, earlier? (I think NextStep or BeOS might have had a "Sounds" folder.) Now, seemingly every <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/desktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>desktop</span></a> uses this default: <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mac</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FreeDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeDesktop</span></a> environments (<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a>), are there any exceptions? Like the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DesktopMetaphor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DesktopMetaphor</span></a> itself, we're stuck with it, even though it chafes.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GUI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UserInterface" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserInterface</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Legacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Legacy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OldManYellsAtCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldManYellsAtCloud</span></a><br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UnreasonableExpectations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnreasonableExpectations</span></a></p>
