Giving up control bit by bit

Can't get the save file from some android games anymore. ‍️

One of these days, they'll add a censorship chip into every consumer electronic.

It doesn’t use the same path /home/username/Downloads?

Same as what? That isn't a default path for anything in Linux either. It's a convention that browser follows though, on Windows and Mac too.

Suprised nobody said to use whereis xyz

[mangionedontmiss@lemm.ee]

just be glad you don't have an iphone. at least on android there are easy ways to remedy this.

I just tried this with Samba (so dpkg -L samba and dpkg -S samba, and I also tried adding grep "smb.conf" and running it with sudo) and I was unable to find the share config file.

It's located under /etc/samba/smb.conf but that command was returning a path under my local user. This is on Ubuntu

If you give me a 1000 piece puzzle for free, but without the instructions or a box picture to go off of, you've done a nice thing by gifting me something but have also failed miserably as I'll never fuckin solve that puzzle

Every time I touch a config file/setting I document it in my notes. I would be lost without it.

As a long time linux user, I think all programs should have a config gui. (Not all, but you get what I mean)

[anunusualrelic@lemmy.world]

You might want to look into the locate package (it might be called mlocate) if you can't find a file. It can be helpful.

It's basically a jvm that runs on the Linux kernel.

[wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works]

dpkg -S requires a full path like the example I gave. dpkg -L samba should work fine. What is the error you got?

[tetsuo@jlai.lu]

Terrible analogy honestly.
Feel free to not use this software, nobody will ever force you to use it.

This is not software to entertain you. It's a tool that you don't understand how to use and choose to blame the people building it for free.

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

Funni, cause the comment below from AstralPath and lightnsfw tells a different story

[jballs@sh.itjust.works]

Windows is more like, oh that file you saved earlier? Yeah we moved that to OneDrive. You want it back? Sorry didn't pay your OneDrive subscription fee, so you don't actually have that file anymore. Hope it wasn't something irreplaceable like your kid's baby photos or anything lol.

Linux:

cd directory3

Oh boy do I have a tree to sell you

[whiskytangofoxtrot@lemmy.world]

Unfortunately this also applies to Flatpak software in Linux. That's one area where distros really need to focus on improving usability.

[guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I use Windows and have never encountered what you are describing.

none of my files have ever been 'moved' to OneDrive and none of my files that are on OneDrive have ever been locked behind a paywall.
