minus-squareHotzilla@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoFilesystem itself is fully ok with it, space is just a character as any. Problem comes with console. e.g. you want to delete file called “not important.pdf”. You type in: rm not important.pdf, and hit enter. Didn’t hit tab because you knew the filename and didn’t arse with it. Outcome is that you just deleted important.pdf which contained your crypto wallet address which you were suppose to tattoo on your left arm.
