Remember: GNU/Linux and other UNIX systems can make files that are case-sensitive, Windows can't make files that are case-sensitive (lemmy.world)

But why though? Do you really want a bunch of file.txt File.txt FILE.txt fIle.txt FiLe.txt FIle.txt flIe.txt… I once had a nasty bug the O in a file name was a 0 and I didn’t notice I can’t imagine the horrors this would cause.

Yeah I've definitely run into issues where case sensitivity causes problems. Especially in programs that are cross-functional between Windows and Linux. Like when I recently downloaded some bios files for a Playstation emulator and I spend time figuring out and troubleshooting why they weren't working until it finally hit me the door McFly it's cause the file name was in lowercase not uppercase. Than I cared to admit to figure out

Oooh, I've had that with some device. I think it was a camera or something like that. I'd forgotten about it. It took me ages to figure it out.

Yours is not too question why, yours is to admire the marvel of technology even if it's worth than useless

surely this is the only place where we would run into stupid syntax problems, right?

imo syntax bugs will be a thing until the end of time, they certainly beat having to rip out 90% of what you've done to fix it that's for sure.
