Giving up control bit by bit

Like I said, it obviously can only track files installed by the package, if the conf was generated by the executable after, or if you created it, the package system cannot know about it.

Also, you're still using -S wrong. It takes a file path as argument, not a package name. And does the opposite of -L by showing you which installed package, if any, owns an existing file.

It's an audio recording app, not a screen recording app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.recorder

That's why I said look under audio instead of video.

Either way, I edited it to be specific about what apps I am using.

[pelespirit@sh.itjust.works]

I know what you were saying.

I miss when computers did what you wanted them to do and not what the corporation wants you to do.

[flatplutosociety@lemmy.world]

Is that not how it still works? When I download a file, it either goes straight to the Downloads folder, or to an app-specific subfolder within Downloads. And there's a Files app that lets you go through the file system (although I'm sure there are some system folders that aren't accessible without rooting). I don't think I've ever been confused about where a file is saved.

No, they're taking a picture of the screen with their phone.

And like I said

this command didn't really do what I wanted it to do then

I just want to do something like find {package name} | grep "config.conf" or something like that. I normally know what the program is called, I just don't know where it is located.

I'm pretty sure this is google chrome issue. When I use Samsung Internet, I can choose the download location

It’s almost as if this is a computer architecture designed for idiots human beings who don’t know or care what a file is interact with computers on a non-file oriented basis or have been lied to and systemically unsupported in their education for what purposes their data is being harvested.

No hate. No useful conversation starts with calling large swaths of people idiots, is all.

File manager > Recent files

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

I really lost my shit when Firefox downloaded some Belfort & Lupin subtitles and I could not for the fucking live of me find them.

Turns out it put them in the "Movies" folder instead of "Downloads" where it actually put the corresponding video files.

i think there’s lots of different flavors of android or something, such that different phones handle the user-facing file system totally differently. it might also be that nicer phones the devs put more effort into making UX have a more forgiving learning curve but because android isn’t truly open source those developments are inaccessible to other users

[spujb@lemmy.cafe]

sounds like your pitiful mind cant understand the unix file oriented philosophy and you should stay 10 feet away from all information technology /sarcasm

[supremedonut@lemmy.ml]

Technology and sarcasm?!?!

Recent files > move file where you want itfrom there

Not a fan of google products, but I can't fathom using the phone's stock browser. Is it … good?

Tell me you don't understand what you're talking about without saying you don't understand what you're talking about.
