My fellow software engineer,

It's the year 2024.

Please store your application configurations ONLY in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`.
NOT in `$HOME` or other non-standard or obsolete places.

May be your guide.

@bahmanm That's a *terrible* guide.

Wow.

I'll go and sign up and make some suggestions I guess. 😜

@bmaxv If you do, I'll always remember you as my hero 🦸

I'm not sure why but I have yet to see an easily consumable standard/specification, incl. FreeDesktop's 🤷‍♂️

@ParetoOptimalDev @dan Ah 🤦‍♂️ Must have been something introduced in 29.x. Thanks for the hint.

@bahmanm `~/.emacs.d` can be `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs` at least

@CryogenicIce9 Word.

My wildest fantasy though is `$ emacs --config-dir PATH/TO/emacs.d` 😅
