@gsuberland I can see defending "cleaning" the downloads folder but being upset about systemd-tempfiled, but the other way around seems deranged.
Can we all agree that the people who store things in the recycle bin are fools, though?

my general point here, lest it be misinterpreted, is that there are still a lot of folks in FOSS who see it as an exercise in intellectual superiority and absolutist tribalism rather than an opportunity to improve user experience through accessibility and freedom of choice. the culture has come a long way but it's no utopia.
