.DS_Store

Where did this art come from? It seems like the cover to a tabletop wargame about the french and indian war or something.

Thumbs.db

honestly - while a Mac is certainly less painful to use than winshit, putting rubbish files recursively into each(!!) accessed folder, on all thumbdrives ever inserted, that's something Jobs deserves to burn in hell for.

…and whoever decided a file system should be case insensitive by default, I hate you.

Every fucking folder in the file share has one of these

I saw somebody with Nintendo .DS_store as a username

Hmm.. Smells like a windows user aswell.. Look at that:

.desktop desktop.ini

Edit: fixed the filename

Found one of these in the firmware zip file of my soundbar today.

you should do this with every one of these cases. btw, where does .Trash-1000 actually come from?

I would also like a word with “bonjour” process while we’re at it.

Thought it was a virus when I first discovered it.

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE

Helps a bit.

Linux user has been here.

How can you tell?

*sniff* Still smells like smug.

Just gitignore that. Same for dot idea and whatever vscode adds, if anything

I am not exactly a programmer. What is the .DS_Store file for?

Blue Harvest for Mac will continually clean your removable drives of these files.

As much as they love to sue people, I don't understand why Nintendo doesn't go after Apple for trademark infringement, so that they're forced to finally come up with a better method of storing folder attributes.

DS DS DS D-not gonna work here anymore, anyway.
