Storage isnt cheap on macs though. One has to pay 2k USD to get 8 TB SSD

#4The fact that copying doesn't copy seems dangerous. Like what if I wanted to copy for the purpose of modifying the file while retaining the original. A trivial example of this might be I have a meme template and I want to write text in it while still keeping a blank copy of the template.
There's a place for alias file pointers, but lying to the user and pretending like an alias is a copy is bound to lead to unintended and confusing results

#6I love the model of it being free to scan and see if you'd get any benefit, then paying for the actual results. I, too, am a packrat, ran it, and got 7GB to reclaim. Not quite worth the squeeze for me, but I appreciate it existing!

It's copy on write.

It’s not a symbolic link - it copies on modification. No need to worry!

It‘s Copy On Write. When you modify either one it does get turned into an actual copy

#10In earlier episodes of ATP when they were musing on possible names, one listener suggested the frankly amazing "Dupe Nukem". I get that this is a potential IP problem, which is why John didn't use it, but surely Duke Nukem is not a zealously-defended brand in 2025. I think interest in that particular name has been stone dead for a while now.
