Yeah, everyone (every-app) thinks they are special and deserve a ".place" in ~ because : .

• ssh because "I'm SSH!", similar for gpg
• npm because "I'm a package manager"
• dillo because "I am old and can't be bothered to update my dirs"
  • I guess I should send them a patch. It shouldn't be too hard to make that little change.
• fltk same as dillo maybe
• .mozilla : "Oh but I AM special"
• .bundle : There is literally only 1 subdir in it and it is named "cache". they could have just done "~/.cache/bundle" instead

IDK why you have a .kde in your screenshot. Debian maybe, or a dir remaining from KDE4? I had an old one remaining in Debain after I upgraded.

• .config
• .local
• .cache

These are what we need to stuff everything into.

This makes me physically uncomfortable >:(

I tried to "fix" this using xdg-ninja but then gave up and resorted to just creating a .home in ~ then running usermod -d ~/.home. Then I just symlinked my documents and .config and etc. folders to my "real" home.
