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 not sure if satire, but survivorship bias much?

Requiring “kids these days” to know filesystems (or CLIs, or machine code, or how to hand-wind core memory…) wouldn’t make any of them more knowledgeable users, it would simply prevent most of them (whether uninterested, intimidated, or lacking time or resources to learn) from using it, just like it did to previous generations.
