Stop Doing ASCII Filenames: The Unicode Rebellion

Stop Doing ASCII Filenames: The Unicode Rebellion

The filesystem rebellion we never asked for! Unicode and special characters in filenames are the chaotic evil of computing. Remember those ancient days when filenames had to be 8.3 format and couldn't have spaces? Fast forward to now where someone's saving files as $6.14 receipt for bagel @ Bagel Bitc# ๐Ÿ˜‹.pdf.jpg and filesystem engineers are quietly sobbing in the corner.

The best part is that "CAPITAL I LOWERCASE L NUMBER 1" joke - because nothing says "I want to watch the world burn" like creating filenames specifically designed to be visually indistinguishable from each other. It's like the digital equivalent of replacing someone's sugar with salt.

And that absurdly specific filepath to Abbey Road? Pure psychological warfare against sysadmins everywhere.
