      as a X-millenial cusper with a background in like end user commercial and home tech support, you have just blown my mind. is this for real? it would explain something disconnects i've had in explaining how i organize digital resource collaborations to young people, who i just assume are like more on top of shit than i am so i try and solicit ideas. and like, straight up, they know the front end of apps, how to use them, when they're appropriate for a task (unlike boomers).... but like custom config stuff is kinda a crap shoot.

      my mind palace for computers literally is a series of filing cabinets. i could not operate if all that was waiting for me in the conceptualization of my cloud and harddrive storage was just a search box reliant on indexing services.

      anyway, this is crazy and Big If True.
