afaik you can’t mount folders, only drives. So what you’re looking for are symlinks (symbolic links, as opposed to hard links; use e.g. ln -s <source> ~/Downloads). I have a few in my $HOME pointing to other drives as well.
if your NTFS drive is unmounted or unavailable, the link will be broken; but you won’t have to recreate it in the future: so it’s a “set and forget” operation for as long as the path the link points to remains the same.
Another option is to change your terminal color profile. Here’s what the default looks like on Kitty’s Misterioso theme:
imo more tolerable than the default colors, and it applies to other terminal apps too.

jk, I don’t remember it either

Moot point. Librewolf won’t exist without Firefox.
XDG doesn’t apply for CLI apps? About half of dirs I still have cluttering my home are GUI apps whose devs refuse to follow the specification, while I see less friction from CLI/TUI devs, since they’re the ones actually seeing these hidden locations.
The spec doesn’t make those assumptions at all, idk where that’s coming from.
I have headless machines with XDG vars configured and ones without them. XDG compliant software works in either case, but I’m less likely to use a piece of software that clutters my $HOME.
off the shelf go was too annoying for me
Nowadays I set GOENV_ROOT to an XDG location and use goenv instead.
it’s like a drizzle is a dryer alternative to a thunderstorm
surely I’d prefer none, but if I had to choose…
I see this as them giving companies a more privacy-preserving alternative to tracking. And just another privacy setting to opt out for us.
Instead of a reactive social media post, here’s how it works.
The only real alternative to this conflict of interest between companies and customers is an independent browser.
lol they barely changed anything visually
yes, USD
I got my Pixel 8 for $400 and it was already the most I was willing to pay. I would keep buying cheap $300 alternatives before burning $800 on a new phone.
kleenex is too good, should be replaced for sandpaper

remote development for connecting to a machine without a display server; basically covering the main use case for being constrained to a terminal.
Remote Tunnels in VS Code or JetBrains Gateway for example
I do use a GPU accelerated terminal, but it’s still very limited compared to a GUI; they serve different goals.
This distinction is not as meaningful as it used to be before LSPs; there’s little a PyCharm IDE can do that you can’t do in VS Code editor for example.
maybe the real friends are the mineral samples we collect along the way
