I don't want to use the M-word or the T-word, but those "made up use cases" constitute every computer program in existence.
Sorry let me correct. Use cases that normal people give two fucks about and based on reality.
Each and every one of them, moron. Everything you do on a computer every moment.
People care about what they care about breaking in their hands and exploding into their faces.
ASD and BAD, probably also ADHD.
People also love to assume what they keep on their hard drives and memory sticks is somehow preserved over time and machine time. Bitflips and other physical effects onto your imagined perfect machine are why it's not, and is as good or worse as what's written on paper. A cat decides to piss onto your grandpa's diary and there's no more diary. Or humidity slowly eats it. With computers it's even faster.
Oh, now we're launching into hard drive degregation because firefox crashing isn't actually enough to send normies into a rage?
Nobody but nerds optimizing for use cases for the. 01%.
I tagged you as "whiny edge case bitch" because it seems like all you do complain about edge cases on tech posts. I only checked the past few days of comments and it seems like a common theme, but feel free to let me know if it's actually an edge case.
