Chromium doesn't respect XDG config, it always creates ~/Downloads directory on startup. It was so annoying, I hope this tool helps me fix it.
Maybe change download location in chrome://settings/downloads to where you want?

AFAICS it does respect https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/ .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yavx9yxTrsw You have no idea how much of a thing this was? People either loved her or got irrationally angry if she was ever brought up to the point of committing federal crimes
They're not the only one, I've never even heard of her before.
How does this differ from containers?

Just FYI, in case it is useful for you: Here's the information that you would want for cleaning that up. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_do_I_clean_the_Open_With_Lis... If you ever want to prevent this integration from happening in the first place, you can do it by editing the registry in a given wine prefix. You can run regedit with the usual command, `wine regedit`, then locate the key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wind…
> It is unfortunate that it has to be outside of the WINEPREFIX, but there's no way around it There is a way around unwanted and unexpected associations though: make the integration opt-in instead of opt-out and/or filter associations that the user is unlikely to ever want (like standard file types that will almost certainly already be handled outside Wine). Wine's Internet Explorer is there for compatibilty with Win…
I kind of agree with you that the defaults are not great, or at least if things haven't changed. We could always see if maybe they'll accept patches to filter out more stuff by default.

I don't see the problem. There's no reason to choose one or the other when we can have both. Many programs try several options. Git for example tries ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git/config. Do people seriously resist such non-destructive improvements just because they think it's offensive when younger programmers have opinions on legacy software?
Personally I see a lot of young people use emacs and BSD licences, but because I'm an older engineer and have the wisdom and experience of time, I use vim and GPL.
I remember when the GNUStep people thought their software was important enough to create `~/GNUStep`. Fucking maddening. Especially when one did not actually use GNUStep but some dependency.
There have been some bad ports of Windows games creating ~/My Documents lol. AFAIK there's also ~/snap. You'd think at least such non-hidden hardcoded directories would bother the developers themselves.

While reading more about this I found out about the ~/.hidden file which I'm pretty excited about. The following hides the folder from Thunar & Dolphin (and presumably other file managers): echo snap >> ~/.hidden
But sadly `ls ~` will still show it.
