the headache in dota as I see it comes from the n! interactions between abilities (that are sometimes unintuitive) and the complete visual mess
as heroes are added to deadlock, parsing the noise is going to get way harder

tbf dota started life as an amalgam of warcraft 3 mods, a lot of work went into straightening things out :)

I like bottom, but that precludes languages that execute files top-to-bottom like python and JavaScript. putting imports after they're used is kind of like putting function args at the end of functions.
kind of reminds me of where vs let in Haskell

where do imports go then?

it's harder for them to implement, and thus more of an excuse during development to make it suck, so long as the important requirements are met

my guess, it's fundamentally a different kind of media. videos are larger, and downloading a file is usually not the same as streaming it

you can still download images, but platforms still try to make that painful. watermarks, hiding the download button behind menus, making right-clicking impossible in browsers, adding a "saved posts" feature to encourage you to not bother

allowing users to download their media gives users freedom to leave your platform, which would be _bad_

you're best off getting familiar with bash, the package manager of your distro, whatever cli tools you use most often, and google

I might even make a modest attempt to use TMSU or some other solution, don't try to stop me

I do want to say I find it really funny that you think you appear informed on this. you're 30, and you're seeking ego bumps from owning nerds on the internet. just hit the gym, you'll look and feel a lot better :)

I don't know, but the problems you've come up with are plainly dogwater. I don't know why you've decided to spend your time starting fights with strangers on the internet (you opened with "horrible idea"), but I'm done here

I want directories to be treated as tags, with no hierarchy.
comment in response to

I'll repeat the idea again, so maybe you'll read it this time:
when you download a file with a web browser, does it get downloaded to the directory /bin/ , or to ~/downloads?
comment in response to
post
when you download a file using a web browser, is that file automatically downloaded to the /usr/bin/ directory??? that is what you have suggested.

1) ok, you do you
2) your reasons are vague at best, and your cp example has baked in assumptions that I'm not asking for. you're dismissing a completely valid ask, based on imagined implementation flaws that you're clearly inventing on the spot
comment in response to
post
I'm sorry, I'm not following your reasoning at all. what security and logistics nightmares do you predict from a tag based file system *existing* for hobbyist users??
you can't just assert "there are reasons" twice and expect me to accept that without giving *any* specific reasons

there would be massive hurdles to doing this, in both kernel and user space, but... it's not impossible and I really, really want it
comment in response to
post
I'm glad that exists, but I want to do away with hierarchical directories entirely, at the kernel level. I shouldn't need a $PATH env var, all of the files with /bin/ in the file path should be found by the glob /bin/*

hear me out: a filesystem with a flat hierarchy, directories are just tags
