My point was not to limit the actions of average people, my point is to inform that cloud services have locked out people due to algorithms errors, have had data loss, have changed the ToS, etc. And average people should take their decisions being informed data cloud storage is volatile and can / has disappeared
- Dalewyn 3y agoThose horror stories by far do not apply to most people. Like all horror stories, the negative incidents leave far stronger impressions than the far more numerous positive or mundane experiences nobody talks about. Also, I'm going to reply to this claim here since it was edited in after I already replied: >Filesystems et cetera, are not rocket science, File systems are absolutely rocket science. It's been well over 30 years since that paradigm was introduced to try and make how computers handle data more relatable to most people and it has not worked. It is the year 2024 and most people still put everything on their desktop. Kids in particular[1] do not grasp file systems at all. File systems are an abject failure of human interface design and engineering.

- toyg 3y agoEr, filesystems as a paradigm are more like 50+ years old, if not even older. Tbh, it's an office-based metaphor created by and for office admins. The general public just doesn't relate. Maybe if they'd called directories "wardrobes" or "drawers"...
