It's funny because I'm actually actively using the atime: when I need to know what's the last video file I watched in a series, I use `ls -ult [--time-style=full-iso]` or `stat -c '%x %n' *.mkv | sort -r` to show files by order of access time: last accessed (played) will appear first.



I usually just go back to my shell and press up :)

atimes aren’t completely useless, just useful less often than mtimes.
