@N33R @green @theking doing it that way resulted in my entire HDD becoming ~/Downloads after a few years

@izzy @green @theking well that's the difference: I have no mercy, if the data wants to live it should've moved out of the Downloads folder

@green @Fiona there is a name for this concept where you delete everything regularly by default and can’t remind the name
