I would believe that many people don't know about this difference. And I would also think that many would consider this to be unintended behavior.
Dragons When Folder Merging on macOS
Something to keep in mind when using a Mac if you are from a Windows background is how merging folders operates differently. On Mac its a replacement operation in the most literal sense. There is no merging of folders. I created a 1 min video to demonstrate this user design dragon.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kO90AI7CHE

Ask HN: What are the “lost arts” of our field?
I've been thinking a lot of the good old simple days of the internet and programming. Lots of technology and tools are killed now right out of the gate b/c of how powerful established players have gotten.

Thanks for pointing this out. I suspect this why Google agreed to store all the backup data of a competing company for free. Google would have had no interest in storing Facebook's end-to-end encrypted data for free unless it could read it and possibly resell it back to Facebook.

For the people who don't know what this means. WeChat is saving the passwords of all its users in plaintext. Which means the company and their employees can see your password. Which means CCP could use this password to gain access to your other accounts
