    I’m gonna be real. I dont think home directory files should handled by something named tmpfiles.

    But… but… it was in the documentation! /s

    What killed me about the whole thing was how defensive the dev was about the whole thing, basically calling the reporter a moron for running a command without extensive knowledge of the entire system. I don’t care how good the documentation is, if open file proceeds to format your hard drive in some circumstances, you done goofed as a dev.

      I agree his answer sucks, but perhaps the fault still lies with the distribution developers (who should know better), not the authors of systemd. In that context I can understand the resentment expressed by the dev. It’s not directed toward the end user but toward the distro developers, who have implemented systemd in a broken and dangerous way.
