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.

.mozilla : “Oh but I AM special”

You would think that thunderbird would use ~/.mozilla as well but nope. It is ~/.thunderbird 🤣
