This is a fascinating concept.

If files are removed from the Index it would only seem natural that they can be undeleted until their physical address is recycled and overwritten.

In fact I remember something like this pre Windows 95 era where files were crossed out. Undeleting them was like magic.

This is why the windows term "Recycle" is more appropriate because the data remains until the space is reused or zero'd out.

This is the kind of reexamining we need, does our current iteration make sense from an engineering perspective or is it just a evolution of a bunch of archaic stuff from a time that doesn't represent the present tech world at all.

I would be okay with replacing rm with recycle and shred as their function is more clear in the name.

True, I still think it's fair to criticize the package managers and distros for not anticipating this common scenario and having the ability to roll back easily. How many millions of Linux users have experienced this issue? I'll bet a few.

Debian, Gentoo come from another generation and sometimes it shows, I mean snapshots weren't even a thing yet AFAIK.

This was definitely one of my least favorite things when I used Debian.

It shows that we need to think about how users are performing tasks and how to intuitively make their usage more successful. The OS should try to get out of the way and always have the ability to easily revert in the case of platform failure.

Do you use this in conjunction with any other input devices?

Sabotage

Step 1. Built Internet to get away from TV

Step 2. Corporate Greed TV moves over and ruins Internet.

Step 3. Build New Internet to escape Old Internet Ruined by TV bloodsuckers.

Step 4. Go back to step 2 and replace tech names with next itteration.

Even owning Smart devices and having them always plugged in may potentially be a vector, Rob did a good breakdown on how this is achieved.

Did you know that your IOT devices are secretly communicating with each other? This includes IOT devices that are not in your home. Did you know that what your IOT devices do may be transmitted to third parties? Did you know that your TV may also have the capability and may currently be transmitting your activity far and wide?

There are secret communications occurring between IOT devices using protocols like Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, Thread, 802.15, and LoRa that you likely didn't expect or was not explained when you bought these devices.

Just like Amazon Echo has been conscripted to work with the Amazon Sidewalk Mesh network, other networks are in operation

I've looked, are there any clear winners I might have missed?

12.1" Damn. I would have gotten excited if it was a 6-8" device

Yeah I would definitely skip out on Mastodon and Lemmy directly. They're fine as a temporary visit but long term nah.

Dickhead meet Dickbutt, sounds like reddit poetry to me

It was a PITA on Arch because the Debian roots didn't play well.

I canned all usage many years ago.
