Marketing and other managers with ocd.
One day all folders get numbering, so they are in unknown illogical order. Other day they’re renamed or some crap added in the end.
Every FUCKING desktop shortcut and email link stops working.
… and then you see the guy in the hall in low altitude flight towards some meeting to incoherently delegate crap he came up with and you wonder what would happen if you tripped him. Would he ever get up? Would the act of stopping cause him an aneurysm.
That sentence only needed the first word to be mildlyinfuriating.
For ordinary folks :
Changing the name of such folders breaks “sharing”. This means that (external) access is then blocked.What the hell shitty system does that?
Literally a thing that uses a file path. Did you think shortcuts pointed at some kind of hidden identifier? Nope! Change the folder name, you change the path, and you break the link.
Same thing happens with URLs
And that’s why most (all?) things that are well-designed to provide external access have permalinks. Dropbox, Google, OneDrive…
All of them.
This has happened to me on my home Linux server.
You have directory xyz.
You set up share access for directory xyz.
You change directory xyz to abc.
Share access is still set up for directory xyz. Need to set up access for abc.
What about directories under XYZ?
That usually doesn’t apply to external access though. You don’t share stuff publicly by NFS or SMB.
i bet they also do shit like try to get people to buy stuff
They get people to buy my services, so they aren’t that bad
Which wouldn’t be so bad if they actually had shit that people wanted to buy. But all the guillotine shops are out of stock, with expected ship dates after December 4th.
