Is losing your data good for you? Tune in on the 18th of December (18:00h - 19:00h CEST) to find out!In 2015, researcher and media artist Dave Young (@dv) wrote an essay entitled "Know Your Filesystem (And How It Affects You)". He argued that "the ‘traditional’ filesystem interface, familiar to us as a visually traversable hierarchical structure of files and folders, is replaced by an app-centric interface."Half a decade later the issue has become urgent again and it is time for a retrospective evaluation. In the fourth and last episode of The User Condition, PDF-hoarders Dave Young and Silvio Lorusso will look back at this interface parable and try to understand where are we now. Did app-centricity actually become hegemonic? What did we lose in the meantime? What have we gained? How helpful is the "helpful framework" of smart interfaces? How purist should you be when it comes to file management?More info: http://varia.zone/en/usercond04.html

@entreprecariat @dv why did it become urgent *again*? Are you referring to a particular development?

@rra @dv yes, in the varia announcement I refer to this article which circulated quite a bit lately https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z

@dv @entreprecariat @rra holy fuck this is the first time I'm seeing this but yes exactly this!!!! I used the command line for the first time this year but I have seen some wild set ups by my friends with super cluttered desktops to compensate for a lack of understanding of file management.

@entreprecariat @rra @dv IMO big part of the problem is the cloud storage; their browser interfaces are desktop metaphors, and those files are not in your machine to give you a better understanding of your filesystem. Even with a file manager, we can grasp where our files are. Doesn't need to be via the command line. Now if IT/computer schools have stopped teaching how to use the terminal, as the verge article claims, they need to fix that.

@entreprecariat @dv ah yes this one! Yeah that is really familiar. Part of competencies to be taught in education imo, not to assume people 'naturally' learn about this..
