Presently, it is writing to ~/.tldrc and is not respecting XDG_CONFIG_HOME or XDG_CACHE_HOME or XDG_DATA_HOME. I'm not sure how much of the directory is config vs cache vs data, so I don't know which xdg directories it should be written to. But none of it should be in ~.

If you really care about it, you can use tealdeer, which adheres to the XDG BaseDir spec. Take note that it is written in Rust, so you'll need a Rust compiler installed to build it.

@SShrike and @jasonkarns, this is something we might include in the client spec that is being defined at #1065. Please comment there if you think it should be enforced for all clients, or not.
