   "how come filesystems don't support a generic 'sort this way' field?"

   also who wants to wager:
   if local LLM can produce valid webasm that displays the equivalent of "ls -al" on an arbitrary directory

   Any takers?

     @picofarad wasm doesn't have filesystem primitives afaik
     you'd have to link them in with runtime primitives

     @picofarad if the host exposes it as something you can link to then it would be possible. baseline wasm does not offer such a facility.

     @icedquinn is it possible at all, or is the AI going to lie that it is possible when it isn't, like "notifications from a PWA run from a phone homescreen that don't phone home"

     @icedquinn sorry. explain it to him as if he were a child:

     is it possible to do something like explorer.exe* or midnight commander or finder as wasm?

     I ask because if it's possible then i shall look at how to make llvm target it (or whatever). If it's impossible then i'm starting to wonder about some other claims i've heard.

     * i think tecnically explorer.exe is the DE | WM. I used to care but windows no longer crashes the way that requires you to care to not lose work.

     @picofarad no it isn't, but you can use it in a plugin system that makes it possible
