       why don't filesystems natively compress files?

       @kaia ZFS has been doing so since 2005?

       @kaia historical reasons. it used to be that compute was too slow for real time compression and decompression. These days enabling compression on filesystems generally makes them faster. You can do it on some filesystems like zfs, though (also postgres will also automatically compress the data because it's faster to load from the hd and decompress in ram than to load the uncompressed data from ram)

       @romin @kaia AFAIK so does btrfs — less advanced filesystems don't because storage is getting fast these days, desktop systems and phones are unlikely to benefit from it at the cost of using more processing power 🤷

       @kaia I think more modern filesystems do. ZFS, BTRFS and APFS all can do it (probably others too).

       @kaia Because storage is cheaper than processing power?

       @hypolite @kaia.. and time is money.Not sure why but this lead me to the question:Why is everyone borrowing money when borrowing money is more expensive than saving money?

       @utopiarte Your question is a little too general, but saving money can cost you if the rate of return is below the inflate rate. Conversely, a loan can end up saving you money because you don’t have to save (and potentially lose) money for a while.
