I wish they were auto-generated. The most senior engineer, clever as he is, has a thing for re-architecturing things and doing “refactors” and “tidies” at the same time.
I’ve voiced my concerns and at least the big re-architecturing sometimes get broken into child-jiras, but it doesn’t always help.
Then theres the merge conflicts on my branches i have to resolve. AHHH
Actually I work much better with Coffee, Salary and NO internet. Because I’m bound to spontaneously go research the intricate details of some completely unrelated bullshit if I have access to the internet

Before it was purchased by VF Corp, Wrangler/Lee was head-quartered in my hometown Greensboro, NC.
Subsequently, the city is nicknamed “Jeansboro” & we have statues of pants all around the city.
And #3, The Race Intimidator, grew up a little over an hour away, in Kanapolis…
This is just ripe for a coming of age tale about a young redneck whose pappy didn’t believe in his ability to drive in circles or post memes, so he partners up with a friendly local corporation to make his dreams come true.
That duplicate of your folder in /run is due to filesystem links (or more likely a fuse mount, I’ve never actually looked into how flatpak works). But either way, they aren’t copies of the data.
I mean… at a certain point though, can you blame them? The system is so heavily corrupt that even criminals walk free, so ofc a high-ranking police officer will too. Like if the governor, mayor, and chief of police are all active members of the actual KKK, is a noobie’s job to overturn all of society to make it more just, or can they do at least some good if they keep their heads down and focus on what they can affect?
Most Americans (I am one) are lazy AF, always wanting others to do work for us. Trash collectors: “just make my garbage go away” (rather than work towards a more sustainable lifestyle). Doctors: “make a pill for that” (rather than eat healthy and exercise, but accepting that death eventually comes for us all). Police: “just make crime go away” (rather than work to address the systemic imbalances in the system that cause it.
Ultimately it is not only the job of police to police the police, but also the Mayor and thus the voters to choose what we want done. And if one side refuses to function - which sometimes but isn’t always the police - then it is lazy to place all the blame onto them.
Also, since when did the job of police ever include “changing” anything? Their whole thing is to “maintain the status quo”, which is like the polar opposite of change? Oh… now I get it:-P.
Police: “just make crime go away” (rather than work to address the systemic imbalances in the system that cause it.
I hope you don’t actually think that’s the source of crime. It’s a big one but far from the only one. Dahmer didn’t kidnap and eat people because of a systemic imbalance for example.
True, though haven’t studies shown that it is the major one, currently? So if the goal were to reduce even if not eliminate all crime, it might be a great place to start.
Thanks everybody, I learned a ton these 2 days. Like a ’ jump’ in understanding. Not only the specific answer to my concrete question but also on a conceptual level as well.
The thing that makes Linux next level for me now is the extra ‘abstraction layer’.
Thing is, for me, digital files always were as tangible as the analog object they represent. A digital document is as ‘real’ as a paper document. An email as real as a letter. But untill now files where ‘real’ digital artefacts. And thats … a bit different with ‘virtual’ files, sort of.
You’re going to want to look up things like symlinks, hard links, fuse filesystems, and bind mounts among other concepts. Your “whole directory” and other duplicates are artifacts of how the filesystem and process management works, and simply running fsearch or find over them is going to be confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking at.
One Unix concept that carries over to Linux is that everything is a file. Your shared memory space, process data, device driver interfaces, etc, all of it is accessible somewhere in the same virtual filesystem tree as the actual files.
Because of this, there’s very little reason to have the whole filesystem indexed from root. If you’re worried about space usage, you want to work with packages through the package manager. If you’re worried about system integrity, you’ll want package validators.
