I saw an old friend post a few years ago asking if anyone else's students didn't know what file directories were. And I don't mean freshman in a general class. This was a summer interns in a hard science. The responses to the post were essentially "yeah they only know how to search for files."

I really started using computers for more than gaming with windows 95, and it wasn't until college when I switched to Linux that I got serious about file directory hygiene, but even in those win95 days I knew where everything was on my computer. I fundamentally don't understand how you can use computers without understanding that.

3 for 3 here. I'm not here to buy things. I'm here to disseminate and consume information/news, ask and answer questions, and learn things.

I've used baconreader for well over a decade and stopped using the website almost entirely after the redesign (yes I do use old.reddit whenever I access the website. Probably just a coincidence/cell phone screens and batteries for big enough and that time). I just downloaded jerboa and it feels like a BR clone, I'm guessing they are built using the same libraries/frameworks.
