@drdrang you mean you send files with no extension to clients? To be fair, that would commonly be viewed as an executable by un*x systems…
Always amused when I send clients a text file (that doesn’t end in .txt), tell them it’s a text file, and they have no idea how to open it.

@drdrang It’s the digital equivalent of hiding things in plain site. -
@eddie_smith My favorite part is the immediate assumption that the files are corrupt because double-clicking doesn’t work. -
@drdrang Sadly, these anecdotes only strengthen Apple’s anti-file stance. -
@eddie_smith In the future, when asked to produce my files in a legal matter, I’ll look perplexed and say “Files?” -
@drdrang I guess they’ll ask you to produce your credentials instead. Surely there’s a not-so-dystopian alternative.

@drdrang Yeah, I’ve had people ask for a Word file instead. -
@drdrang I can think of one occasion when I sent a .txt article to a newsletter editor who promptly requested that I put it in Word. -
@drdrang Well, at least they have their system prefs so extensions are visible, so that's a start.
