meme image. Top part has text on white background:
Android: file saved successfully.
Me: and where exactly it is saved

Below that is a black and white picture of a chimpanzee (or is that a bonobo?) dressed in a long sleeve shirt and smoking a cigarette, with the caption “who the fuck knows”
…open a file explorer? People just can’t be bothered to learn the file systems anymore. If it’s not on the desktop/main screen, they are confused. A small amount of people actually know. 25+ to -40 give or take a few years
Open a file explorer, okay.
But then what? Did the app tell you where it saved your file? No, many apps don’t. So now you have to check in which of the several synonym-of-the-word-picture named folders that image is.
That’s just annoying. I want files I download to default into the downloads folder, for me to then put them wherever I want them to be.
You know, I do agree that many people would probably benefit from learning a bit more about the devices they use, but some devices just do things in a stupid way.
File EXPLORER. Explore your files. Best way to learn what is where. Literally go hunting and you’ll learn where things are located and then if you care enough you can learn why.
It might be annoying but learning your devices can make it not annoying as it typically won’t change.
If we’re being that pedantic, Explorer is what Windows calls its own app, the actual description is File Manager.
And to manage my files, I want this to be a straightforward, tell-me-where-you-saved-that-file experience. You can learn just as much, without it being unnecessarily annoying.
Edit: To be clear, I don’t mean to be rude, though it does seem like it in text form.
I love the ageism here.
Like people over 40 don’t know how to use technology.
