dcz, 2 months ago What's the use case for access time in #unix ? In my entire career I don't think I needed it once. What was so important that people were ready to pay the penalty of writing on every read? What is the #history of that anyway? #askfedi #linux #posix #computing

nemobis, 2 months ago @dcz I sometimes try to use it to sample local pictures I've not looked at in a while. (Usually with a chain of find -atime | shuf | xargs feh.) Doesn't really work when all of them are accessed to make thumbnails though.
