I think it’s because it’ll promote smaller sizes in general, which is almost always better to handle. (If it can be done without significantly losing quality.)
I fuck numbers.

I had a student send me the screenshot of a pdf for his homework submission. So, yeah. I guess that’s how it ends.
Not when you have 1000s of files. It adds up.
Rapist mentality.
The stock market literally forces companies to be evil. Once you do an IPO, you’re contractually obliged to be shitty in order to bring higher revenues.
Or calling all kinds of art “content”.

PDFs are searchable, zoomable (i.e. don’t look like shit on high-res displays), are often much smaller, have nicer software for handling them (image viewers are usually not designed for this task), and so on.
I actually watched this video and decided to clean the filter. Pretty gnarly.
I actually use tags as directories in GMail. I can’t find shit otherwise. (Tangent: just how shitty is the search in Outlook? I can never find anything unless labeled in advance.)
I agree for the apps. But then they shouldn’t deal with files anyway. They should just access certain directories as permitted by the system, and those should also be exposed to the user.
Hard disagree on the documents (or anything else, really). One ends up emulating folders using tags anyway, and there’s no real way of doing it in a platform-independent way. Also, searching can be very annoying in many cases. For my research, I end up working with the same files for a few weeks straight. It’s much better if they’re in a folder, rather than searching them every time.
You do you, though.
The directory remark is unrelated to the Canvas one. I guess they didn’t have the app set up on their phone in that case.
Anyway, have directories been replaced? I’m having a hard time remembering any filesystem without directories. And we don’t need to put AI in every fucking thing.
I mostly agree with you. But it only works because users give in. They deserve some of the blame.
Sure, but they own their devices. They should know it. It’s a pretty regular thing to do, since most classes in my university use Canvas.
Also, many of them had both devices from Apple. I may dislike Apple, but Airdrop should work pretty well for this.
I teach math to undergrads, and damn it’s sad. They don’t know how to send a PDF file from their phone to laptop, and upload it to Canvas. One guy ended up emailing it to me. They don’t even know what a folder/directory is.
Sure, but this sort of tells you the core essence of that party. A lack of empathy. As long as it doesn’t affect them personally, they’re happy to ignore others’ suffering.
In a rich man’s house there is no place to spit but his face.

One of the greatest quotes of all time.
Or put some effort into finding new music? The algorithms have never suggested me anything good anyway.
Yeah, but enshittification will happen there too. It’s just a matter of time.
Reminds me of my ex’s tantrums.
No idea. It was a laptop screenshot.
