Well, for one using a file picker doesn't imply mouse usage and secondly, how would you do something like uploading a pdf or picture in your web browser?

- db48x 6y agoI don't do that in my web browser. Instead I type a command in a shell that adds the file to a git repository, commits it, and syncs the repository with my web server.
- wander_homer 6y agoAnd what about the servers you're not in control over, like web services which expect you to submit pdfs, videos or pictures like a resume, exercises and their solutions, scientific papers, a picture for printing...?
- db48x 6y agoI can count the number of times I've used anything like that on the fingers of one hand.
- wander_homer 6y agoAnd our university staff and students have to upload numerous files per week in that way and since you claimed they're doing it wrong I'd like to hear your alternative to that.
- db48x 6y agoI'd be pretty annoyed if my school or employer forced me to work so suboptimally. Still, a POST is a POST, whether it comes from a web browser or curl. Or from Emacs.
