@jk iirc files on unix do actually have a gender of sorts. either file, directory, socket, pipo or symlink

@jk GNU genders vs BSD genders 😅

@jk as a novice computer toucher this is what write permissions look like to me

@jk @Skiriki Well, that's Linux for ya, out there... can't even agree on the flags 🧐
🙇

@jk “Release 0.11.0 upgrades ls genders to conform to POSIX compliant abbreviations; removes mandatory sexuality flag when invoking gender flag.”

@jk Besides ls we have lsattr for extended attributes, maybe it is hidden there ;-)

@jk The first Operating System banned in the state of Florida

@jk I doubt a simple program like ls would be up to the job tho. It's only looking at the files superficially, from a file system point of view. But you simply don't know how they dress up these days.

To determine the real gender of a given file, you would have to look very strongly at the bytestream with a hex editor. That's mandatory before permitting write access in a public bathroom in Florida.
