Kids don't even understand file structures because modern OSs obfuscate that stuff.
That's my biggest gripe to be honest with modern OSs. My files in my folders are organized like I organize my house. I live in and around that. I hate the idea of a "Downloads" and other stuff with "automatically in the cloud backup for this app". Give me a file to save you stupid app.
Yeah ya stupid app!
tell em!
Android has taken away a lot of the manual usage shit when it comes to doing what you want of it on behalf of security protections. Well fuck you, if I want a program to have certain access to things I should be allowed to do it, whether you like it or not. My N20U still can't have a full and proper root.
I don't mind that they simplify it. It makes it easier for more users. Its the fact that even advanced users can't access it. Not a problem with a perfect app on a perfect operating system with perfect interoperability. None of those exist.
A colleague was trying to share a 365 file with me last week. I didn't have permission to open it. I was begging them to just save a "physical" copy to disk and email it to me. I hate the cloud.
Genuinely, Microsoft onedrive/365 share sucks ass. It just does. I got 365 Family since my family doesn't know how to use anything else besides office apps so I just got the subscription that also gives you onedrive. So, I've been using that cloud storage if it's available and god dammit, why is it so hard to share, find and search files in there.
