Hiding filenames begining with "." or "~" considered insecure.

If Bob, having a folder full of child porn, then moves it somewhere else, he has false sense of security, because law enforcement will easily find ".thumbnails" folder.

Same for Alice, who accidently deletes system files, thinking that folder is empty.

They're hipsters that pretend to use GNU/Linux which often have Perl pre-installed. Instead, they use Cygwin

>Perl
Perl is deprecated and has been largely replaced by FIOC.

Yeah, try doing the same thing with CL or Scheme. The system won't even get past the POST!

On my system there are over 500 packages that depend on perl, none of which are services.

Among them: ack, git. If you're not using these, what is wrong with you?

using . prefix to hide files is actually a nice, simple convention

I hide all my pornographic files printed out under my pillow. 100% security.
