      Drag is using language you can understand easily, because drag is talking to you. To a normal person, drag would say “You know how on your phone, you can’t just look at your files? Like you have a separate app for photos, and documents, and you can’t just look at all your files from one app like you can on PC? Well, you can actually if you use an android. Here’s the app that does it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.files&hl=en_AU

      Drag even casually named an operating system during that speech, and would have been understood perfectly by most people.

        Kids today barely know what a file is. I have to regularly explain folders and file types. When I asked them where they saved a thing, they answer “On the computer” and look at me like I’m crazy for asking that.

          yes, because folders are not something thats really worthwhile in a filesystem. they’re a vestige of an earlier time.

            Folders, or directories, really, may not be worthwhile, but when you have more than fifteen files, they’re quite convenient.

                In that case you’re left with applications implementing it, and hoping for something homogeneous. Which may or may not happen.
                I wouldn’t trust it.

                  sounds like a you problem. if you think longer on it maybe you’ll come up with the obvious layer to implement it at that isn’t the kernel.

              Indeed they are! Just don’t need them in the filesystem itself

      They certainly know that it’s bullshit to find half the stuff they saved because it’s not in folders that make sense to them.
