Direct Save Protocol

The Direct Save Protocol, abbreviated XDS (for X Window Direct Save Protocol), is a software protocol that supports saving files by dragging them to file manager windows.

XDS is a feature of the X Window System graphical user interface for Unix-like computer operating systems.

XDS is built on top of the XDND protocol.

    “Lesbian existence comprises both the breaking of a taboo and the rejection of a compulsory way of life. It is also a direct or indirect attack on the male right of access to women.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Nothing, neither acceptance nor prohibition, will induce a child to stop swearing overnight. Teach your child respect for himself and others, that profanity can hurt, offend, and disgust, and you’ll be doing the best you can...And save your parental giggling over mispronounced curses for after the children’s bedtime.”
    —Jean Callahan (20th century)
