Please photorec, save my files 😢😭😢

That sucks, I know the terrible feeling, sorry :(

@dfox best thing is, I was in the middle of setting up a github repo for the project.

@yarwest damn that sucks, I think we all have done that at some point or will do it sometime in the future.

I was once using a Mac app that deleted junk content and I accidentally deleted my iOS project I was so close to releasing. I got so depressed. I started all over and when I finished it turned out better than the original project. (:

My (non-tech) friend: don't you have like a recycle bin or something?
Me: there are no recycling bins in the real world

Sorry bro! We all do that at least once

This deserves a sticker. Now. :/

a month ago my IDE just crashed out of nowhere and the files i've been working on all week went corrupt and emptied themselves. i know your pain. this is why i do as many backups as possile nowadays

@yarwest Look into trash-cli, trash-put, and alias rm='trash-put' !

@Gauthier thanks for the tip.

Usually I use github but I was just too much caught in the coding flow to think about that .-.

Always have a backup of a backup

I've done that. The worst bit is all the friendly advice people give you for what you should have done before the accident, and you just wanna yell back YES THANKS I KNOW PLEASE LEND ME YOUR F#%#}NG TARDIS SO I CAN GO BACK AND PUT EVERYTHING IN A GIT REPO IN A DROPBOX FOLDER WITH DAILY TAPE BACKUPS AND ALSO NOT RM -RF THE STUPID FOLDER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

@fuckfuckityfuck this is on my wavelength

I do all my projects in dropbox. and uploaded all photos to Google photos.
