       @ultemYou can actually use these filenames with a network-style path structure, which is fun to create files otherwise undeletable!

       @ultem Which is great, because now you can place a file called "~" somewhere on the disk and wait for the user to accidentally delete their home by running "rm -rf ~" 😂

       @ultem maybe, but the technically these filenames are not illegal in windows. In every directory "files" with these names exist. You can't see them in the explorer, but you can access them! And this mess dates back to 1974!https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/windows-10-still-wont-let-you-use-these-file-names-reserved-in-1974/
