I have been saying this for a while, this has contributed to the appification of the entire internet; including when you aren't even on mobile. it is just utter hubris. having worked in tech support allowed me to see this firsthand.

its how you get people who don't know what the fundamental concept of a website is; all they know is that you tell google what you want and it gives it to you. and its not their fault. its the overarching philosophy of trying to obfuscate how a computer works.

not to enforce gender roles but a computer should NOT fucking have apps okay. if I wanted an app I'd go on my phone my laptop is for Programs. I mean this.

#rambling #idk something something theres a saying that went like making things idiot proof doesnt make less idiots #it just makes smarter/better idiots #ive been trying to say for a long time that computer literacy should be taught to everyone for FREE #when u understand the concept of how a web browser makes a request to a web server who delivers a response #it lets u intuitively build on that knowledge #but no haha lets call everything an app and the cloud #and lets say oopsie woopsie we made a fucky wucky instead of giving any meaningful error information #and this is not only apple's doing too #fuck u microsoft
