If only there were some sort of Universal scheme for denoting the Location of a Resource. That would let you map a relatively short string to one of many possible file access services, and put that string in a text chat channel, rather than conflating two distinct problem domains.
Also every server I know and most clients do logging.
- DagAgren 7y agoI am well aware of how to do this, yes. I do not find this a good solution. So dial back the snark.
- bandrami 7y agoI concede the snark and withdraw it, but my point remains: one tool for one job. There are tools for sharing files, and URLs allow those files' locations to be shared over text channels. One tool for one job.
- DagAgren 7y agoThat is a tool that takes something like 10x the effort of having built-in file transfers. It is just not a good solution.
