UX designers who eliminated the filesystem from user consciousness in name of simplicity ruined the world and are morally culpable for shriveling minds of children who are unable to tackle the challenges of today thanks to a choice sold as advocacy for the user but was ultimately motivated by control of a disempowered customer.
@SwiftOnSecurity Was thinking about this recently. Man, "sharing" on mac and iOS really is a horrible mess now.
I think maybe the big crime is appification.
Segregated tools working in walled gardens on their own private app owned data. Sold as a security cure! Which has turned in to a huge lever of corporate control.
I'm happy for any reasonably sensible fabric to wire individual "app" units. A file system is an option. Others are pipes, typed data, or a database.
Without that ability to plug together & combine, and **use your data anywhere**, the corps control it all.
