I feel like I need to inform you that the people doing the “recommendations” in the Windows start menu are not the same people who write filesystems.
The venn diagram of those two sets of people is two non-touching, non-intersecting circles.
There are interesting things going on, I’m sure, but we won’t see any of it until this AI baloney is behind us.
Nerds create a virtual moron that gets a large percentage of stuff wrong and execs demand that it be inserted into every product made immediately. An absolute genius move only an MBA can explain.
Sure, but that indicates institutional rot. If the people who write NTFS drivers (i.e. its devs who love Windows the most) can't push back on user hostility and short-sighted decisions are made constantly then we have a company that has drifted far from its strengths. It is just coasting on brand recognition. This is the kind of trend that is seldom reversed.
