That's more interesting an answer than I was expecting! I didn't even consider that any floppy disk Mavicas could be modern enough to have USB. The only time I used one of these, you could still assume a floppy drive in every computer.

I'm curious to hear what your workflow is for accessing photos from them in 2025. (USB floppy drive, I assume?)

We are all Mercutio on this blessed day.

Yes! I'm always scrutinizing this, and most actors do not fake it very well.

Hah, I also actually read it that way at first.

I think you should be able to do whatever you want, maybe by changing a setting or placing a convenient symlink to a more obscure directory or whatever.

But I also think the way desktop functionality has been implemented in various operating systems has prevented a whole lot of people from learning how to use a hierarchical filesystem.

It's a user-education issue, and a lot of PC users still have no concept of storing files anywhere else but their desktop.

If you have to have a toolbar, at least make it go away when you scroll.

This is one of my least favorite modern trends — UI shouldn't go away.

First, even if you're not actively using the bar, if it contains access to a menu, buttons or title/context of any kind, it should remain glanceable. If you're going to tap it, you first need to see it, and having to unhide it adds extra effort to every interaction. What's more, less experienced users may not even remember that the hidden functionality exists. And if I'm scrolling a feed of some kind, in an application with multiple feeds, being able to instantly glance at where I am is useful.

But also, the idea that scrolling the content down a little to make the UI appear makes no sense. I have the content scrolled to where I want it, and scrolling it a little in a particular direction to make more features show up is absurd. The content and UI have nothing to do with each other.

You shouldn't be able to save documents, or files of any kind, to your desktop. It should be a special place that allows application launchers and shortcuts to files, but not as an easy-to-find regular folder.
