A tree command against my D: drive (personal/data/working) shows 63989
folders, indicating superior file organization.
29223 directories, 240923 files

most of which I don't have a clue about. A lot of them came from building
rtl443.

That file count actually includes directories (it's from running
wc(1) on find -ls output.

Here's a better answer:

_[/dev/shm/wk]_(***@lm)🐧_
$ awk '$3 ~ /^d/' ds-findls.out | wc -l
6652594
_[/dev/shm/wk]_(***@lm)🐧_
$ awk '$3 !~ /^d/' ds-findls.out | wc -l
56124136

Also, I have a separate music share that houses
my bandcamp, etc. purchases, as well as mixes for
vehicular USB sticks:

***@DT:/volume1/music# awk '$3 ~ /^d/' findls.out | wc -l
11361
***@DT:/volume1/music# awk '$3 !~ /^d/' findls.out | wc -l

Ho Lee Fuk! You sure do love your porn clips.
I have 1,365,294 files in 63,989 folders.
Why do you call them "folders"? That's Mac speak.

Yeah, I have to admit that I prefer the term directories.

Utter BS.

The term "folder" is a stupid construction based on the desktop paradigm.
It is intended as an analogy to paper files and folders and furthermore
it doesn't quite fit. A file cabinet contains folders which in actuality
are files, i.e. a folder does not contain files but rather it is a file.

Maybe Microslop should start using "cabinet" instead of "folder" -- and change
that stupid yellow icon as well.

The term "directory," however, is an accurate and much more professional description
of the digital reality.

People who use the term "folder" should be ... I won't say it.

Everything about Microslop Winblows is designed for stupified idiots.

OTOH, outside of the mainstream distros, everything in GNU/Linux is designed
for knowledgeable professionals.

The case is closed.

Who gives a flying fig? This is the kind of crap small minds get their
panties in a bunch over. Grow up. Get over yourself.

And, incredibly, I find myself in agreement with -highhorse here.

Very Feebish of you.

Ever since the astounding OS takeover by Win95, this type of "folder vs
directory" insecurity is VERY common in Unix/Linux dweebs.

But...

* 'folder' in computing isn't a Unix or Apple or MS creation. It dates
back to the mid 1950s (according to wikipedia).

* the word and connotation of 'folder' is a much better metaphor
than 'directory' for a structure that contains documents and/or
other folders/directories.

* the file open icon on virtually all Linux apps is a picture of a
folder.

* https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/navigating-filesystem-linux-terminal

uses them interchangeably, as they should

* between the two of us, only your household owns or uses Macs


pwned. Now git back in your folder.

Right. And as everyone knows, the command in windows
to list a "folder" is "fold"[*].

Oh wait, it's "dir". What does _that_ mean, hmmmmm?

Seriously though, I wasn't being very serious.

[*] BTW, there _is_ a fold(1) command in Unix, but it
does something completely different -- it word-wraps text.

People use folder for the same reason they say goodbye, because
directory and God be with you have too many syllables.

Not true.

Whenever I take leave of someone I will always say: "See you
later, alligator."

That expression has more syllables than there are brain cells
in your fucking head.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
