But they do see / or : in file names, and the interesting question is which one it is today on which filesystem.

You need a separate UI to handle things like entering the file name and filtering for appropriate files. Windows was designed so that the same file browser component is used in the Explorer and in open/save dialogs (but with Windows 7-

Taking notes in class is akin to making a transcript of what the teacher said in class so you can remember and refer to what was said in class. The encyclical is a written document, so there is no need for a transcript, and "notes&quot

Where are the notes in this post? I can only see a bunch of quotes and zero original thought of the author.

They don’t, they just have Claude commit and push straight to the main branch. Just like the author of this 100% slop app: https://github.com/leodavinci1/kanbots/commits/main/
